Back story to this song ----- Tom, Dave Stewart & Stevie Nicks were to Do a song/songs about Alice - At a party the night before going into studio, Tom introduced Stewart and Stevie, they hit it off and after went back to Her mansion - Stevie was in a bad place at the time and when She woke up, as She frequently did at that time 'lost it' and chucked Stewart out - as he went out her gate he heard her screaming 'Don't come around here No more' - Petty and Stewart sat waiting in studio for her to turn up, but after a while started mucking about with tunes, during one rift from Tom, Stewart sang 'Don't come around here no more' and they expanded it into this song - In late afternoon Stevie entered and heard them doing this song, took the huff and stormed off, never to return. She later made up with Tom Petty and even duetted on stage doing this song. This story came from Tom Petty himself
