'When Alice Comes Back to the Farm' is a rock-blues song recorded by The Move. It features slide guitars and a cello, with a baritone saxophone reinforcing the bass line.
Taken from the 1970 LP Looking On and released as a single on the Fly label, "Alice" failed to chart, largely due to lack of airplay by BBC radio stations. The song allegedly made mild references to cannabis - "Alice", "time for tearing out the weeds" and the last line "don't get around much anymore", which is a description of the singer's condition rather than a reference to the Duke Ellington song.
