Who the fuck is Alice. .

In the 1960s, 'living next door to Alice' was common slang for being incarcerated. This arose from the fact that prison walls of the era were built from a cheap metal called alicanium, dubbed 'Alice' by the inmates. The songwriters insist they weren't aware of this, and it was just about a real neighbour that Nicky Chinn had.
