HEAVY METAL KIDS - RUN AROUND EYES


An early example of ROCK REGGAE from GARY HOLTON's HEAVY METAL KIDS.Released on their 1974 Debut LP.It shoulda been a single...It coulda been huge.DAVID BOWIE copped a good earful during the recording session at OLYMPIC STUDIOS and it may well have inspired THE STONES to have a stab at Reggae on their BLACK AND BLUE LP



SHE LOOK AT ME AND SYMPATHIZE
HER STARE CUT THRU ‘FORE I REALIZE
THEY JUST SPARKLE AND A TINKLE
AND I’S ALL EYES
THEN THEY TROUBLE MY MIND
AND I’M HYPNOTIZED

SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES
(OH YES SHE HAS)
SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES


I TOOK A BOOK AND LOOK IT UP NEED TUITION
IT ONLY LEAD TO CONFUSION
I ONLY BELIEVE IT’S ILLUSION
THEN I GET NOWHERE NO SOLUTION


SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES
(OH NO IT’S NOT)
SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES


WHEN SHE’S ON THE MOVE HER EYES ROTATE
IF YOU HAVE A DATE WELL DON’T BE LATE
WHEN SHE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO TOO
YOU DON’T DEBATE
CAUSE THE EYES THAT YOU LOVE
YOU BEGIN TO HATE


SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES
(OH YES SHE HAS)
SHE GOT RUN ROUND, RUN ROUND RUNAROUND EYES
