“Vickie” is the third single from the third Peach Pit album “From 2 to 3”. The song is about what life would be like if Neil’s best friend Vickie lived next door to him. Throughout the song, Neil shares a jokingly mean dynamic with the friend in question, constantly poking fun at her and passive agg...
[Verse 1]
If you lived right down the street
Would I ever have to buy more weed when I'm low?
That's a no
You'd walk over probably bitching
That it's so far though it's minutes and there's no guys
There's none around for ya
[Verse 2]
If you lived right down the street
Would I ever get my beauty sleep while you're cryin'?
Probably no
If you lived a couple over
You'd be by to scream, "He's all the things that I like!"
And none of his are me
[Chorus]
Vickie, it don't need to be all right now
Your setting sun won't fall right where you think, don't think
Yeah, Vickie, you always keep me 'round
But I thank God you don't live nеxt door to me
[Verse 3]
If you lived right down the street
You'd bе hanging 'round me like a creep
That's why I like you though
If you lived up from the corner
Would I have to have you over
Anytime I was sort of just like you?
[Chorus]
Vickie, it don't need to be all right now
Your settin' sun won't fall right where you think, don't think
Yeah, Vickie, you always keep me 'round
But I thank God you don't live next door to me
[Bridge]
Oh, Vickie, it don't need to be all right
Your settin' sun won't fall right where you think
Yeah, Vickie, you always keep me around
But I thank God you don't live next door
[Chorus]
Oh, Vickie, it don't need to be all right
Your setting sun won't fall right where you think, don't think
Yeah, Vickie, you always keep me around
But I thank God you don't live next door to me

I was hanging out with my friend Vickie a few years back, and we got to talking about her birthday which was coming up.
