Lyrics

Eye to Eye

This man dropped by some time ago
Looked just like you and me
Much the same but at the time
Came over differently
He wouldn?t look us eye to eye
For long enough to see
What made him that bit different
Though he looked like you and me

The good old days are gone now
Days gone by
When strangers met and squared off
Eye to eye
Hands were taken, shaken warm
To welcome strangers in
Strangers looked the same as you and I.

This same man came some time ago
Who looked like you and me
Stayed half a year nearby us
Coming over differently

He not once looked us in the eye
Or liked a photo took
What made him that bit different
Was the way he didn?t look

The good old days are gone now
Days gone by
When strangers met and squared off
Eye to eye
Hands were taken, shaken warm
To welcome strangers in
Strangers looked the same as you and I.

Oh the house-of-prayer just down the road
Blew up the other night
Bombed to bits and when news broke
Guess who had taken flight

This man dropped by some time ago
Looked just like you and me
Much the same but at the time
Came over differently

He never looked us in the eye
For long enough to see
What made him that bit different
Though he looked like you and me

Yes those good old days are gone now
Days gone by
Hell, those good old days are gone now
Days gone by
Ain?t it sad those days are gone now
Days gone by
When strangers met and squared off
Eye to eye
Two strangers met and squared off
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
