Wake version of "Alice"

Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

The very first word Von sings in the Wake video doesn't sound like "Alice". Any ideas?

...and pretty much every (if not all)live Alice i've ever heard.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

as far as i can tell,he sings "25 years in the 1st verse and "26years in the last verse.
i can only assume this is because the last tour was a year after the track was written.they represent vons age at the time.(b.1959)
