    Some people don't associate Elton John with "edgey" and "rocking out."
    One of the classic rock stations used to call this a "lost classic," and I agree.

    The studio version.




    Lyrics, which might not be exactly correct.

    Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
    Alice was the spawn of a public school
    With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
    And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues

    Reality it seems was just a dream
    She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
    But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
    And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

    All the young girls love Alice
    Tender young Alice they say
    Come over and see me
    Come over and please me
    Alice it's my turn today

    All the young girls love Alice
    Tender young Alice they say
    If I give you my number
    Will you promise to call me
    Wait till my husband's away

    Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
    It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
    Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
    And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead

    And who could you call your friends down in Soho
    One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
    And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
    And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know

    And of course, it is Bernie Taupin writing the lyrics. I got turned on to EJ with Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player when I was age 13, I think. As is my habit, I then worked my way back in his catalog, only to find some early, odd-sounding in comparison nuggets, like All The Girls Love Alice and Empty Sky.

    I was listening the the Producers album "Made in Basing Street" today, and remembered that I'd not got the Art of Noise debusy album, so downloaded it, then saw this. :)

  16. This woman's talent is unreal. She puts together this song live as we listen using a sampler.
