De Burgh, Chris - The Devil's Eye Lyrics






Can you hear me, are you listening, has your programme disappeared?
I can see you, I am watching you, I've been planning this for years.
I have blacked out you television, every station in the world is mine,
And there are millions who are just like you as you sit there, paralysed!
I have some orders which you will follow, and there's nothing you can do,
'Cos as you're looking at your T.V. screen, I am looking back at you...

Oh side by side,
We will cross that great divide,
'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's eye!
Oh nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's eye...

Turn your dial to the number that is shining on your screen,
You will notice that everything is red, you won't need blue or green,
All around me, fire is burning, yes I'm calling you from Hell,
And all those people who haven't seen me yet, will soon be under my spell.

Something's happening, sounds like thunder, maybe the Lord is on His way,
He's still angry and He's after me since I cheated on the Spanish Train,
Oh yes He's coming, and He could stop me, but He'd better make it soon,
'Cos the last time that I won a world, I made it into a moon...

Oh side by side,
We will cross that great divide,
'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's eye;

Oh side by side,
Forever we will ride,
'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's eye!

I can see you,
I can see you, I can see you...

    Can you hear me, are you listening, has your programme disappeared?
    I can see you, I am watching you, I've been planning this for years
    I have blacked out you television, every station in the world is mine
    And there are millions who are just like you as you sit there, paralysed!
    I have some orders which you will follow, and there's nothing you can do
    'Cos as you're looking at your T.V. screen, I am looking back at you...

    Oh side by side
    We will cross that Great Divide
    'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye!
    Oh nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye...

    Turn your dial to the number that is shining on your screen
    You will notice that everything is red, you won't need blue or green
    All around me, fire is burning, yes I'm calling you from Hell
    And all those people who haven't seen me yet, will soon be under my spell

    Something's happening, sounds like thunder, maybe the Lord is on His way
    He's still angry and He's after me since I cheated on the Spanish Train
    Oh yes He's coming, and He could stop me, but He'd better make it soon
    'Cos the last time that I won a world, I made it into a moon...

    Oh side by side
    We will cross that Great Divide
    'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye;

    When the first 1,000 stones strike there will be a minor shaking

    T.... c....

    This is your last chance of redemption. Beware!

  3. S.... B....

    Has society learned from this song? Apparently not as throngs of people worship the Game of Thrones series. Complete filth influenced by the devil through the evil genius George R R Martin. Wake up world!

    S.... B....

    What???

  4. M.... R....

    So my mum really likes Chris De Burgh and when I was a kid she put on a mix tape with some of his songs for me to fall asleep to as a kid. She forgot that she included this song on there. That was an interesting night...

    M.... R....

    Was it a Halloween night?The eerie sound at the beginning always gets me.

  5. R.... p....

    I remember in 78 or 79 that Chris opened up for Peter Frampton in San Antonio. I just love his music from that day. He mention that he hope one day that people will come see him like Frampton. I am sure he met that goal.

  6. S.... R....

    It´s unbelievable but true - This is from his Crusader - Album. Some Songs of this - like that one - have been overlooked because of it´s medieval style - Chris in a Crusader helmet. But only two Songs - the title track and the Girl with April in her eyes fit  to that style. The other´s were all in a modern style like "The Devil´s Eye" But anyway. It´s a great album

    S.... R....

    S. Rathgeber even Crusader picks up halfway through and sounds more modern.

  7. B.... ....

    The only way I discovered this song is that I made up the lyrics "It turned out to be a lie, Which means you will see the devil's eye"

  8. E.... ....

    What shocks me is that an artist as good as Chris is practically unheard of in N.America, not the song. It's just shocking that such talent was/is overlooked is all I'm saying. It just annoys me when an artist I love doesn't get the acknowledgement I feel they deserve.

  9. s.... ....

    Why does it shock you? Its just a Song.

  10. D.... L....

    ωραιος φιλε πολυ ωραιο τραγουδι

  11. P.... ....

    Yes, it's definitely off Crusader (or my Crusader CD is a one-off with this song in it).

  12. b.... s....

    not off Crusader

    b.... s....

    bill striemer hidden track. Not all the CDs have them as it's difficult for hidden tracks to actually be "hidden" I know for a fact the cassette had it.

  13. M.... R....

    pure class...

  14. T.... T....

    Tele-Vision bastard Greek Latin English Word
    'Channel'-ed and Medium

    I honestly hear this as either a Revelation or Pride Filled Chanson
    Of Lucifer himself or his underling the 'Spirit of Consumerism'

    There is definitely something nefarious here what I cannot discern yet.
    Some research is in order -timshub at gmail

    Une chanson de francs-maçons... Le Nouveau Ordre Mondial... ^^

    It is shocking De Burgh is almost unheard of in the Americas. It bothers me actually.

  17. L.... ....

    Excellent song!




  18. t.... ....

    listening and learning during english lessons in 1985, great moment !

  19. f.... ....

    It's great to see that some people still have good taste in music.
