I love Billy Idol but he had better than this. Still, good song.

One of Idol's better songs. He never was a favorite of mine; but I liked "Eyes", as well as the overplayed "Mony Mony".

Casey credited the female singer on AT20 earlier this year. Can't remember her name though, but she's singing "Eyes Without A Face" in French.

"Eyes Without A Face"
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

Remains brilliant to this day.
Who remembers the Frankie J sample?! (Low key a jam too)

One of my favorites from Billy Idol alongside "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell". Of the 3 songs, however, "White Wedding" is my all-time favorite from him.

37 years ago today, "Eyes Without a Face" by Billy Idol reached its peak position on the Hot 100 Singles chart at No.4. where it stayed for 2 weeks. It was released as the second single from his sophomore album "Rebel Yell." The song features the voice of Perri Lister who sings "Les yeux sans visage" (French for "Eyes without a face") as a background chorus. I love it!
