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.

Light Up My Life
Smokie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will she be waiting.
Should I feel proud of the tears that I cried,
No hesitating.
Happiness sounds like the one I have lost,
Only to follow.
Where in the world is the one that I've crossed,
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.
Feelings of fear all around someone's here,
Look all around me.
Could it be she rediscovering me,
Or did she see.
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.
