Eye Communication
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
Spaced out chicks, love potions and good wine.
Don't make me laugh, you're not in there alone,
There's other people's voices in the room.
Don't hang up ¡º I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication ¡º always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.
I know I shouldn't let it happen,
There's no excuse ¡º I felt so alone.
You know how it is, our lure was meant to trap them ¡º
And then they find some poison of their own.
Don't hang up ¡º I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication ¡º always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens ...
"tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry ? " *
Don't hang up ¡º I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication ¡º always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.
Don't hang up ¡º I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication ¡º always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say ?
No eye communication always happens that way.

Marianne Faithfull's "Eye Communication" stands as a defining track from her 1966 debut album, "Asunder," capturing the raw vulnerability and introspective nature of her early solo career. The song reflects the turbulent emotional landscape of the mid-1960s, blending folk and pop sensibilities with a distinct vocal delivery that emphasized personal confession over polished production. As part of her broader discography, the recording showcases Faithfull's ability to translate complex inner states into accessible melodies, influencing subsequent generations of singer-songwriters who prioritized lyrical honesty. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to resonate with listeners seeking authenticity in popular music, cementing its place within her catalog of works that explored themes of isolation and connection.
