Lyrics
"you fucking cunts"
Strong expression of frustration or anger.
Sally called, when she got the word,
Sally informed the speaker.
She said 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.'
Sally discusses news about Alice.
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
Speaker hurried to see what's happening.
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
Speaker is astonished by what they see.
A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.
A luxurious car arrives at Alice's place.
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
Uncertain about Alice's departure reasons.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Speculating about Alice's motives but doesn't want to know.
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Expresses long-term proximity to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
Waiting for a chance to express feelings for 24 years.
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Hopes for a second opportunity to express emotions.
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
Adjusting to the reality of not being neighbors with Alice.
We grew up together, two kids in the park,
Shared childhood memories with Alice.
Carved our initials deep in the bark...
Symbolic act of carving initials together.
Me and Alice.
Reflecting on shared experiences with Alice.
Now she walks to the door with her head held high,
Alice seems confident as she leaves.
And just for a moment, I caught her eye,
Caught a momentary connection with Alice.
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.
The car leaves Alice's driveway.
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
Continued uncertainty about Alice's departure.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Speculation about Alice's reasons but prefers ignorance.
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Reiteration of long-term proximity to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
Long wait for an opportunity to express feelings.
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Desire for a second chance to express emotions.
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
Coming to terms with not being Alice's neighbor.
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
Sally inquires about the speaker's emotions.
She said 'I know how to help get over Alice.'
Sally suggests ways to move on from Alice.
She said 'Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here.
Alice is gone, but Sally is still there.
And you know I've been waiting twenty four years...'
Sally expresses her long wait for the speaker.
And the big limousine disappeared...
The luxurious car disappears.
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
Continued uncertainty about Alice's departure.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Speculation about Alice's reasons but prefers ignorance.
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
Reiteration of long-term proximity to Alice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
Long wait for an opportunity to express feelings.
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
Desire for a second chance to express emotions.
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
Acceptance that getting used to not living next to Alice is difficult.
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
Permanent difficulty in adjusting to not being neighbors with Alice.
