Alice's House (Early Version) (2002 Reissue Bonus track)

(album: Forever Now - 1982)

In the house where Alice lives, colours clash
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you, telling the time

In the garden where you row, flowers die
People say it's cold out there
You disagree, she's telling me

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
She writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the softest room you sing, without a key
The butler is serving tea
Wearing a shirt without any sleeves

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
He writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the bedroom down the hall
Your secrets sleep
It is always late at night
Won't you stay? Why don't you stay?

In the house where Alice lives, colours clash
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you, telling the time

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
She writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house
