One for you Lena
No more please
Gary Gilmore's Eyes (1977)
The Adverts
I'm lying in a hospital
I'm pinned against against the bed
A stethoscope upon my heart
A hand against my head
They're peeling off the bandages
I'm wincing in the light
The nurses look anxious
I'm just quivering with fright
I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
the doctors are avoiding me
My vision is confused
I listen to my earphones
And I catch the evening news
A murderer's been killed and he
Donates his sight to science
I'm booked into a private ward
And I realise that I must be
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
I smash the light in anger
I push my bed against the door
I close my lids across the eyes
I wish to see no more
The iris receives messages
And send them to my brain
No guarantee the stimuli
Must be perceived the same
Looking at Lenas eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking at Lenas eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes (Gary don't need his eyes to see)
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes (Lena and her eyes have parted company)
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
