Big Al’s new neighbours wrote a song25 Feb 2022 17:23
Sally called when she got the word
And she said, "I suppose you've heard... about Alastair?"
When I rushed to the window and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up, into Alastair’s drive
Oh, I don't know why he's leaving
Or where he's gonna go
I guess he's got his reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 months
I've been living next door to Alastair
24 months just waiting for a RNS
To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alastair
We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials, deep in the bark
Me and Alastair
Now he walks through the door, with his head held high
Just for a moment, I caught his eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alastair’s drive
Oh, I don't know why he's leaving
Or where he's gonna go
I guess he's got his reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 Months
I've been living next door to Alastair
24 months just waiting for a RNS
To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alastair
And Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, "I know how to help
Get over Alastair"
She said, "Now Alastair is gone, but I'm still here"
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
And a big limousine disappeared
I don't know why he's leaving
Or where he's gonna go
I guess he's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 months
I've been living next door to Alastair
24 months just waiting for a RNS
To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alastair
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to AlastaIr
