"Lyin' Eyes"

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes


This is a song by "The Eagles" for those of you who are unfamliar with their music. It's beautiful, you all should dowload it and listen to them brilliantly compose it. The whole point of me posting the song is to show one of the myriad of examples if how wonderful, and profound music was. This music had substance, depth.... Today's music is offensive, and shallow..... worthless. This really breaks my heart. Granted there still are some good groups out there, but the majority are GARBAGE. Compare today to the seventies with groups like "The Eagles", and hundreds others like them. You can't, these guys had TALENT! And everything they did was wonderful. Hotel California, One of These Nights, and a bunch of others are of this caliber, and the same goes for TONS of other seventies groups. Not even the seventies, every generation before the eighties. It was just good music. These was some decent music in the eighties, and nineties, but not like before. Where has it all gone???

 

Bob Dylan became the oldest artist to ever have a number 1 album here just recently. The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind---the answer is blowin in the wind..............
