==Lyrics==
<nowiki>I know you wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in LA
And I heard that there's a special place
Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day

I'm having wicked dreams
Of leaving Tennessee
Oh, Santa Monica
I swear it's calling me
Won't make my mama proud
It's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl
I know she's gonna scream

God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

I'm up and jaws are on the floor
Lovers in the bathroom and a line outside the door
Black lights and a mirrored disco ball
Every night's another reason why I left it all

I thank my wicked dreams
A year from Tennessee
Oh, Santa Monica
You've been too good to me
Won't make my mama proud
It's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl
I know she's gonna scream

God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

Don't think I've left you all behind
Still love you and Tennessee
You're always on my mind
And mama, every Saturday
I can hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away
Saying

God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club
Oh mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>ie ist ein Model und sie sieht gut aus
Ich nähm' sie heut gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kühl, an sie kommt niemand ran
Doch vor der Kamera, da zeigt sie, was sie kann

Sie trinkt in Nachtclubs immer Sekt (Korrekt)
Und hat hier alle Männer abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Lächeln strahlt
Sie sieht gut aus und Schönheit wird bezahlt

Sie stellt sich zur Schau für das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von Millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiederseh'n, ich weiß, sie hat's geschafft</nowiki>

The sun always shines on TV

'''"The sun always shines on TV"''' is a song by a-ha from 1985. The song was re-recorded by [[The Gliding Faces]] for their 2026 covers album, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

I reached inside myself but found
Nothing there to ease the pressure
Of my ever-worrying mind

All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me these days

Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way
I'm drifting gloomily through time

(touch me)
I reached inside myself today
(give all your love)
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
Give all your love to me
To me</nowiki>

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny

Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now we're ashes on the ground

Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me

I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win

I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win

Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me
Yeah you, you wreck me</nowiki>

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>We live on a mountain
Right at the top
This beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

And when it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you</nowiki>

'''''Eye to eye''''' is the sixth album release by [[The Gliding Faces]] and the second album entirely of cover versions. With at least one song from each decade from the 1970s to the 2020s, this eclectic mix of tracks were carefully chosen by Dan and Max out of the twenty-plus tracks that were recorded for the project.

==Concept==
We've learned nothing. The signing off of the commentary from [[On the nose|the first covers album]] was something The Gliding Faces wanted to prove wrong. So they did pretty much what they had done and learned nothing again, but this time, with Leonardo da Vinci artwork.

==Tracklisting==
# "[[The bell]]" - 6.59
# "[[Hyper-ballad]]" - 5.30
# "[[Common people]]" - 6.16
# "[[We share our mothers' health]]" - 3.41
# "[[Wrecking ball]]" - 3.41
# "[[Stay]]" - 4.03
# "[[I feel love]]" - 5.09
# "[[The sun always shines on TV]]" - 5.16
# "[[Das Model]]" - 4.01
# "[[Pink Pony Club]]" - 4.24
# "[[Forever autumn]]" - 4.19
# "[[A spaceman came travelling]]" - 5.02

Total running time: 58 minutes 21 seconds.

==Personnel==
* All tracks produced and performed by Daniel Graham and Max Herring.
* Songwriting on tracks are as follows:

# Mike Oldfield

Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of his name
Well, it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you</nowiki>

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell

If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide?

They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean you'll never drown
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes
Northern star

Fulfil the longing in your heart
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true

They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go

I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see she's not far

'''"A spaceman came travelling"''' is a song by Chris de Burgh originally released in 1975. The song was re-recorded by [[The Gliding Faces]] for their 2026 covers album project, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid

Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la
Peace and goodwill to all men
and love for the child
La la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la
Ah ah ah
Ooh ooh ooh

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
And travellers on the road, the village they found
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round

Then just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said, "now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry."

And it went la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la
This song will begin once again
to a baby's cry
And it goes la la la la, la la la, la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la
Peace and goodwill to all men, and
love for the child

Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry</nowiki>

Did he mention my age, love?
Or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair?

I'm in love with your brother

I'm in love with your brother
Yes I am
But maybe I
Shouldn't ask for his name
And you dance
Oh what a dance
And you laughed
Oh what a laugh

Does he know what I do and
You'll pass this on, won't you? And
If I asked him once what would he say
Is he willing
Can he play?

He wasn't really looking for some more than
Some company on the dancefloor and
Does he know what I do and
You'll pass this on, won't you? And

Perfect

2026-10-07T04:36:53Z

Tgfwiki:

'''"Perfect"''' is a song written by Ian Broudie and performed by The Lightning Seeds. The song was recorded by [[The Gliding Faces]] as part of their 2026 covers project, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>See the rivers filled with rain
I wish it could be blue again
Hazy petrol nights
Crimson sun on traffic lights

A perfect day, a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden till it's light
Streets get full up every night
With people buzzing round the lights
And waving at the taxis driving by

Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's todays just fade away
Watch the morning chase the night
Rolling home it's getting light
Feeling sleepy full of wine
Fall in bed just in time

The perfect stare of perfect eyes
That kiss you as they tell you lies
And wonder where you're going where've you been
In towers high with time to fill
Gardens on your window sill
In between the pavement and the sky

Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's todays just fade away
Tell me why
All the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind
I've been driving through the danger signs

A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden till it's light
Perfect silence me and you
It's really me I really do
Remember every moment magnified

Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's todays just fade away
Tell me why
All the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind
I've been driving through the danger signs</nowiki>

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>AI Overview
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here
'cause you're not here</nowiki>

'''"Self control"''' is a song by Laura Branigan. The song was covered by [[The Gliding Faces]] for their covers project, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall, something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul

(You take my self)
You take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
(You take my self)
You take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of my dreams
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
This night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of my dreams
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
This night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self (oh-oh-oh), you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)

What they call us

Tgfwiki:

'''"What they call us"''' is a song by Fever Ray and re-recorded as a cover version by [[The Gliding Faces]] for their ''[[Eye to eye]]'' album project.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>First I'd like to say that I'm sorry
I've done all the tricks that I can
Cinnamon bun in the oven
There's a fire in my hands

Did you see the light this morning?
Sometimes there's this extra air
Sometimes I can keep my mouth open
I would stay if I dare

Did you hear what they call us?
Did you hear what they said?
My plan was flexible
Don't get stuck anywhere

Can I just hold you for a minute?
Some things just ain't easy to repair
The person who came here was broken
Can you fix it, can you dare?

Did you hear what they call us?
(They call us, they call us)
Did you hear what they said?
I've got plan that's flexible
(It's flexible, it's flexible)
Just don't stop anywhere

It's a common misconception
This is not a band
Ready for a dissection
Now Mummy's gotta work, see the land

Did you hear what they call us?
(They call us, they call us)
Did you hear what they said?
I've got plan that's flexible
(It's flexible, it's flexible)
Just don't stop anywhere</nowiki>

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day in your own world
'Cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries in your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me</nowiki>

'''"True faith"''' is a song by New Order re-recorded as a cover version by [[The Gliding Faces]] for their album project, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see

That's the price that we all pay
The value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I feel you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

In the morning sun
In the morning sun</nowiki>

'''"Maria"''' is a song that was originally released by Blondie and subsequently covered by [[The Gliding Faces]] as part of their 2026 covers project, ''[[Eye to eye]]''.

==Lyrics==

<nowiki>She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry

She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire

Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights</nowiki>

'''"Common people"''' is a Pulp song from 1995, covered by [[The Gliding Faces]] from their 2026 ''[[Eye to eye]]'' project. The song details an encounter with class tourism.

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>She came from Greece
She had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at
St Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye

She told me that
Her dad was loaded
I said, "in that case, I'll have a rum and
Coca-Cola,"
She said "Fine."
And then in thirty seconds' time
She said

"I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you."
What else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket
I dunno why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started
There
I said, "pretend you've got no money"
And she just laughed and said, "ha! You're so funny!"
I said, "yeah!
Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here!"
Are you sure?

You wanna live like common people
Wanna see whatever common people see
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with
Common people like me
But she didn't understand
And she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still, you'll never get it right
And when you're laying in bed at night
Watching 'roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yes

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn ya, look out!
They'll tear your insides out
'cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah!
And the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

But you'll never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst
You can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still, you'll never get it right
When you're laying in bed at night
Watching 'roached climb the wall
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
Never do whatever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you

I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you
I wanna live with the common people like you

La la la la
You, la la la la la
You, la la la la la
Oh, la la la la la la
Oh yeah</nowiki>
