- can’t find the lyrics!)

“Looking Through Gary Gilmore’s Eyes.” (The Adverts)

	(Gary Gilmore’s eyes.....!)

I’m lying in the hospital, pinned against the bed,
A stethescope upon my heart, a hand against my head,
They’re peeling off the bandages, I’m wincing in the light,
The nurse is looking anxious and she’s quivering with fright,
I’m...

	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes 
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	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 locked into a private ward, I realise that I
Must be....

	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes

(Musical break)

	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes

I smash the light in anger, push my bed against the door,
I close my lids and cross the eyes, don’t wish to see no more,
The irises are messages that says into the brain
‘We’ll guarantee the stimuli, most people see the same
When...

	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes
	Looking through Gary Gilmore’s eyes

Gary don’t need his eyes to see,
Gary and his eyes have parted company!’


And our version!!


		(Giggerota’s eyes.....!)

I’m standing on the Lexx’s bridge, my hands around Stan’s throat,
Another meal of liver planned,  I lick my lips and gloat, 
Tweedman’s looking terrified, he’s quivering with fright...
Then - damn Kai to the protein bank! - I take an unplanned flight...
I’m...

	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes?
	Last I knew she’d cut me down to size,
	Killed, flayed and eaten - cannibalised...
	And now I’m looking through Giggerota’s eyes...!

I struggle in the Bug’s guts, find my way to solid ground, 
Refuel with a lunch of moth - and then I hear that sound...      
.... The brains have made me promises I only hope they’ll keep,
And take me to a world of plenty, milk-fed, rich and deep 
In flesh.....

	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes,
	Might’ve known the brains would tell me lies -
	I can only watch as off Lexx flies!
	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes.....

(Musical break)

	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes -
	Never had time to say my goodbyes...
	Talk about a nasty surprise!
	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes!

I’m standing on a stabiliser, flying meat has fled,
The Brunnis sun turns supernova, I will soon be dead,
A wailing cry breaks from my throat, I’m drinking in the light,
Her life begins to flash before me, cannibal’s delight....
Oh no! I’m

	Looking through Giggerota’s eyes,
	No-one to hear my furious cries,
	Should’ve listened to His Shadow’s advice,
	But it’s far too late now to be wise!
	Looking through (what’s left of) the Wicked’s eyes....

She don’t need her eyes to see -
Giggerota and her eyes have parted company....!
