"Living Next Door To Alice" <br />(A tribute to SMOKIE) <br />Bich Thuy cover <br /> Keyboard: Quách Đạt <br />Video by Quitle <br />Using: Canon 24-105L, Canon 5D mark iii <br />Location: Valentino Party Hall <br />Apr 02 2015 <br /> <br />Lyrics: <br />Sally called when she got the word, <br />And she said: "I suppose you've heard - <br />About Alice". <br />When I rushed to the window, <br />And I looked outside, <br />And I could hardly believe my eyes - <br />As a big limousine rolled up <br />Into Alice's drive... <br /> <br />Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, <br />Or where she's gonna go, <br />I guess she's got her reasons, <br />But I just don't want to know, <br />'Cos for twenty-four years <br />I've been living next door to Alice. <br />Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, <br />To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, <br />Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice... <br /> <br />We grew up together, <br />Two kids in the park, <br />We carved our initials, <br />Deep in the bark, <br />Me and Alice. <br />Now she walks through the door, <br />With her head held high, <br />Just for a moment, I caught her eye, <br />As a big limousine pulled slowly <br />Out of Alice's drive. <br /> <br />Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, <br />Or where she's gonna go, <br />I guess she's got her reasons, <br />But I just don't want to know, <br />'Cos for twenty-four years <br />I've been living next door to Alice. <br />Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, <br />To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, <br />Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice... <br /> <br />And Sally called back and asked how I felt, <br />And she said: "I know how to help - <br />Get over Alice". <br />She said: "Now Alice is gone, <br />But I'm still here, <br />You know I've been waiting <br />For twenty-four years..." <br />And a big limousine dissapeared... <br /> <br />I don't know why she's leaving, <br />Or where she's gonna go, <br />I guess she's got her reasons, <br />But I just don't want to know, <br />'Cos for twenty-four years <br />I've been living next door to Alice. <br />Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, <br />To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, <br />But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice... <br /> <br />Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice... <br /> <br />The song is about a young man's long-standing love, Alice, who's also the girl next door and his neighbour of 24 years, which is left unrequited after she moves away. The protagonist had seen a limousine parked at Alice's home and begins to reflect on childhood memories and his friendship with Alice, and becomes heartbroken as he sees Alice get inside the limousine.
