[00:08.220]Sally called when she got the word,
[00:12.600]She said: "I suppose you’ve heard about Alice".
[00:23.480]Well I rushed to the window,
[00:25.370]And I looked outside,
[00:27.620]
[00:28.400]But I could hardly believe my eyes -
[00:32.390]As a big limousine rolled up
[00:35.470]Into Alice’s drive...
[00:38.850]Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving,
[00:41.420]Or where she’s gonna go,
[00:43.150]I guess she’s got her reasons,
[00:45.100]But I just don’t want to know,
[00:46.850]’Cos for twenty-four years
[00:48.920]I’ve been living next door to Alice.
[00:55.160]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
[00:58.930]To tell her how I’m feeling, maybe get a second glance,
[01:02.550]Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
[01:11.430]Grew up together,
[01:12.050]Two kids in the park,
[01:15.800]Carved our initials,
[01:17.320]Deep in the bark,
[01:22.830]Me and Alice.
[01:26.450]Now she walks through the door,
[01:28.430]With her head held high,
[01:31.140]Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
[01:35.790]As a big limousine pulled slowly
[01:38.350]Out of Alice’s drive.
[01:41.800]Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving,
[01:44.230]Or where she’s gonna go,
[01:46.170]I guess she’s got her reasons,
[01:47.990]But I just don’t want to know,
[01:50.110]’Cos for twenty-four years
[01:51.990]I’ve been living next door to Alice.
[01:58.180]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
[02:01.870]To tell her how I’m feeling, maybe get a second glance,
[02:05.550]Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...
[02:14.240]Sally called back, asked how I felt,
[02:18.530]She said: "I know how to help get over Alice".
[02:28.900]She said: "Now Alice is gone,
[02:31.480]But I’m still here,
[02:34.000]You know I’ve been waiting
[02:35.760]For twenty-four years..."
[02:39.450]And the big limousine disappeared...
[02:45.240]I don’t know why she’s leaving,
[02:47.350]Or where she’s gonna go,
[02:49.110]I guess she’s got her reasons,
[02:51.090]But I just don’t want to know,
[02:52.810]’Cos for twenty-four years
[02:54.620]I’ve been living next door to Alice.
[03:01.040]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
[03:04.890]To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
[03:08.380]But I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
[03:16.800]Now I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
