Lyrics:

Sally called when she got the word,
She said: 'I suppose you've heard -
About Alice'
Well I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
But I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
Carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Sally called back, asked how I felt,
She said: 'I know how to help -
Get over Alice'
She said: 'Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years'
And the big limousine disappeared
I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
