Billy Idol "Eyes Without A Face"

Does anybody like this song as much as I do? This is probably my favorite out of all the hits that Billy Idol has had. The video is cool too. This song brings back such great memories for me, which is probably why I like it so much.


Eyes Without a Face - Billy Idol
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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

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
Hanging out by the State Line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinking it down, oh
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 realize

CHORUS


heart this song, it rocks my socks!! headbang music
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Dreamy synths.

Heart's "I Want You So Bad" has a similar soundscape, and I enjoy both. If you like EWAF, I'd suggest taking a listen to that if you're not familiar with it.

Billy and Steve Stevens make a great combination.

Ever hear Paul Anka's version of this song?

Great, great song. Still like 'Flesh For Fantasy' and 'Rebel Yell' better from that period, but 'Eyes' is one of Billy's best.
