“Alice in Vain” could be about a girl with an eating disorder. The song begins with a part of a 70s commercial for weight loss.
Alice in the Playground
She ain't got a boyfriend
Oh, Oh, That's a pity
She's not even pretty, Oh
Alice hears them whisper
They smile when they see her
Oh, Oh, She'll discover
Girls don't hurt eachother
Hey, Don't kid yourself
Girl, Love, Help yourself
Hey, Don't kid yourself
Girl, Love Help yourself
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt my Alice
In Vain, Vain Vain
Alice in Vain, Vain, Vain
Alice doesn't eat much
Alice don't go out much
Oh, Oh, Now you're happy
It's too late for Alice
Hey, Don't kid yourself
Girl, Love, Help yourself
Hey, Don't kid yourself
Girl, Love Help yourself
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt my Alice
In Vain, Vain, Vain
Alice in Vain, Vain, Vain
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, Hurt Myself
I, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt my Alice
In Vain, Vain, Vain
Alice in Vain, Vain, Vain
Alice in Vain, Vain, Vain
Alice in Vain, Vain, Vain
