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.

Think of Me
Smokie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think of things we used to do
Where were you?
Oh it's not easy anymore
No it's not easy
Sympathy I try to hide
and you left oh how I cried
now it's not easy anymore
no, it's not easy.
Think of me -
I'm the lonely lonely lonely
lonely lonely lonely lonely one
Use to be -
Oh your only only only
only only only only one.
Now you wanted to be free
I was a fool to disagree
Is it me?
Oh it's not easy anymore
Oh it's not easy.
Think of me -
I'm the lonely lonely lonely
lonely lonely lonely lonely one
Use to be -
Oh your only only only
only only only only one.
Solo
Walking down the avenue
think of things we used to do
where were you?
oh it's not easy anymore
no, it's not easy.
Think of me -
I'm the lonely lonely lonely
lonely lonely lonely lonely one
Use to be -
Oh your only only only
only only only only one.
The lyrics of Smokie's song Think Of Me speak about the pain and loneliness of a broken relationship. The singer is walking down the avenue remembering the things they used to do with their past love and wonders where they are now. Despite trying to hide their sympathy, they still cry for the loss they experienced. They reflect on their foolish pride, which made it harder to cope with the separation. The chorus emphasizes their present loneliness as they ask their past love to think of them, now that they are no longer the one in their life.
The songwriter used a mix of emotions to convey the hurt felt by the singer, highlighting their feeling of rejection, regret, and longing. The lyrics show that the separation was not mutual, and the singer was left heartbroken. The solo emphasizes their sorrow while closing the song with the same emotional appeal, asking their past love to remember them.

Такого исполнения этой песни я ещё не слышала. Как будто душа рыдает. У Криса в глазах слезы стоят. Готова разрыдаться вместе с ним. Божественная песня.

Как жалко, что группа распалась, жалко всех ребят видно что очень переживают, слушаю эту песню и плачу глядя на Криса не сдержать слез, откуда берутся такие великолепные ребята. Но время не повернеш вспять. Он сделал то что должен был сделать. воплотил свою мечту и стал просто обалденным солистом. Каждая его песня просто шедевр, хит вот уже очень много много лет. Очень хочется слушать его песни еще очень долго Люблю его песни и его самого. Просто шикарный мужчина с фантастическим голосом такие рождаются раз в миллион лет. Будь счастлив в своей большой семье и в творчестве. Очень жаль что никогда не попаду на твой концерт. Новосибирск это в центре Сибири в России ты так сюда и не доехал. Хотя нет я была на твоем концерте в Будапеште в 1983 году, наверное это был последний ваш тур с Смоки. С огромным уважением к Тебе Надежда.
