While touring in Ireland, the discovered the audience would cheer back "Who the Fuck is Alice?". As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called "Gompie". The group decided to "cover" this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling "Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. Thus, Smokie holds the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word "fuck" in it.

Smokie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a dream clear out of sight
When she returns, we'll be as one together
Like a diamond in a world of stone
She's like the wings, she rides all alone
She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever
But I don't wanna see her crying
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl
Angelina with her eyes so blue
I can't resist, she gets through to you
The silent talking in a way that burns through your heart
A cold, grey day never appears
Your body's warmed, but innocent tears
When Angelina gives you a friendly start
But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl
But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl
Angelina's going out tonight
Angelina's going out tonight
