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 ↴
From this heart of mine
I've looked around forever
But it's hard to find
But it ain't so hard to see
That you're lonely just like me
Together we can spred our
wings and fly
(Chorus)
And I will be your king
If you will be my queen
We can ride wild horses
Through this land of broken dreams
And I will be your prince
If you will be my Josephine
Sailing under a shining star above
To the kingdom of love
There's an empty feeling waiting
In your heart tonight
But if you look up to the heaven
There's a shining light
You know my love is true
Cos I'm lonely just like you
Just spread those wings
And see how high we fly
(Chorus)
If we believe in miracles
We'll sail this ship to shore
I'll take you to another world
Where I can love you more
And more
(Chorus)
