Adverts, The lyrics - Gary Gilmore's Eyes


Title: Gary Gilmore's Eyes
Artist: Adverts, The
Album: Wonders Don't Care
Year: 2001
Submitted by: skeptix gal


I'm lying in a hospital
I'm pinned against the bed
A stethoscope upon my heart
A hand against my head

They're peeling off the bandages
I'm wincing in the light
The nurses look anxious
I'm just quivering with fright

I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

The doctors are avoiding me
My vision is confused
I listen to my earphones
And I catch the evening news

A murderer's been killed
And he donates his sight to science
I'm booked into a private ward
And I realize that I must be

I smash the light in anger
I push my bed against the door
I close my lids across the eyes
I wish to see no more

The iris receives messages
And send them to my brain
No guarantee the stimuli
Must be perceived the same
