about

Dangerous Eyes was triggered after meeting an old girlfriend in Marlow one Christmas time in the late 1970s and noticing that her eyes matched the colour of her brand new car - a Mini Cooper if I remember correctly. It’s about the battle with temptation that might have followed.

lyrics

DANGEROUS EYES

Your eyes match the colour
Of your brand new car
And I wonder if I'll be seeing them a lot more?
Bright blue and piercing,
Take me back over all the years
I never thought I would see you again

Your face is still the same,
Your hair's a little shorter
But somehow you look
More lovely than before
But you're not for me. At least I don't think so
What have I let myself in for now?

Now you've got dangerous eyes for me
Trouble ahead I can see
Dangerous eyes, you've got me in your sights
You've got dangerous eyes for me

I know I should put you right out of my mind
But you've got some kind of hold over me
There's something there that's old
Trying to start anew
Oh my God, what am I going to do?

All that you've got to do is
Smile with your eyes of blue
I ain't got the defences to counter that
Shouldn't feel this way but whenever I see you
I don't know where I'm gonna end up tonight

Don't know where I'm gonna end up tonight
Don't know where I'm gonna end up tonight

You've got dangerous eyes for me
Once I was blind, now I can see
Dangerous eyes, you had me in your sights
You've got dangerous eyes for me

Hi - Thank you for visiting my site.

A retired journalist from Sherborne in Dorset, the lockdown gave me the time to finally record some of the songs I wrote decades ago - together with a few new ones.
