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.

Love Like a Rocket
Smokie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't come with a lot
And after my name
I got no letters to say
Oh how hard I've tried to make it for you girl
Just to see you, see you walk away
But if it's love you want
then it's love you got
Like a rocket to your heart
Into the sun
and a milion stars
Love like a rocket
No other man on earth can go this far
Like a rocket to your heart
all the times I tried
all the words I couldn't find
whenever I'm this close to you
Feels like there's so much to lose
I know you see a harde road in me
But if you look deeper so much deeper babe
You'll find somethin'that you nee
'cos if it's love you want
Then it's love you got
Love like a rocket
Like a rocket to your heart
Into the sun
and a milion stars
Love like a rocket
Like the one you always dream of
Everytime you close your eyes
Like a love that's gonna last you for all time
Oh how hard I've tried to make it for you girl
just to see you, see you walk away
so if it's love you want
then it's love you got
Love like a rocket...
Love like a rocket...
The lyrics of Smokie's "Love Like a Rocket" are a passionate plea for reassurance of love. The singer asks his lover if she loves him as deeply as he loves her, or if this is the end of their relationship. He admits that he should have known better than to fall in love with her, but he has already given his heart away. He sings about the strength of his love, as he is willing to spend his whole life loving her, and surrender himself to her with just one warm and tender kiss. He hopes that their love can last forever and they can be together, sharing their love forevermore.
The song seems to touch upon the fear of unrequited love, doubts about the sincerity of his lover's feelings, and the possibility of a heartbreak. The emotions expressed in the lyrics are amplified by the soaring melodies and harmonies in the refrain, making the song a quintessential power ballad. The song also has a catchy and memorable hook, with the repeated "bye bye bye bye" emphasizing the finality of a breakup.
