Gary Gilmore's Eyes

[00:14.80] I'm lying in a hospital
[00:16.32] I'm pinned against the bed
[00:18.03] A stethoscope upon my heart
[00:19.65] A hand against my head
[00:21.14] They're peeling off the bandages
[00:22.61] I'm wincing in the light
[00:24.16] The nurse is looking anxious
[00:25.58] And she's quivering in fright
[00:27.16] I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[00:30.49] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[00:33.48] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[00:36.65] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[00:42.40]
[00:45.48] The doctors are avoiding me
[00:46.94] My vision is confused
[00:48.52] I listen to my earphones
[00:49.82] And I catch the evening news
[00:51.58] A murderer's been killed
[00:52.87] And he donates his sight to science
[00:54.64] I'm locked into a private ward
[00:56.16] I realise that I must be
[00:57.85] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:00.84] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:03.90] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:06.96] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:10.91] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:27.57] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:30.83] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:33.88] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:36.61] I smash the light in anger
[01:37.94] Push my bed against the door
[01:39.62] I close my lids across my eyes
[01:41.31] And wish I see no more
[01:42.86] The eye receives the messages
[01:44.36] And sends them to the brain
[01:45.85] No guarantee the stimuli must be perceived the same
[01:48.61] When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:52.17] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:55.22] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[01:58.29] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[02:01.23] Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
[02:04.32] Gary don't need his eyes to see
[02:07.47] Gary and his eyes have parted company
[02:15.40]
