Eye Communication

  1. Eye Communication

(Marianne Faithfull, Terence Philip Stannard, Barry Reynolds, Stephen David York)

I know you’re out there having a good time.
Spaced out chicks, love potions and good wine.
Don’t make me laugh, you’re not in there alone,
There’s other people’s voices in the room.

Don’t hang up — I didn’t mean it that way,
No eye communication — always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.

I know I shouldn’t let it happen,
There’s no excuse — I felt so alone.
You know how it is, our lure was meant to trap them —
And then they find some poison of their own.

Don’t hang up — I didn’t mean it that way,
No eye communication — always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens …

“Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry ?” *

Don’t hang up — I didn’t mean it that way,
No eye communication — always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.

Don’t hang up — I didn’t mean it that way,
No eye communication — always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.

* From The Tyger by William Blake (1794)
