80's Lunchtime Music Moment

Today's flash to the past is [drum roll please]

Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol!

Today's selection is dedicated to Michele, on her sickbed, way out New Jersey way.


I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face....

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face....

Not bad, but I prefer White Wedding and Rebel Yell.

You'll have to take it up with the radio station since they chose to play it :)

I have some far-too-graphic associations with Billy Idol songs to share here, ;-) but I agree with Jay: White Wedding and Rebel Yell were better.
