 Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I ain't gonna give any more Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what You're thinkin' Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't Need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind Don't leave false Illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving I am the eye in the sky...
Eye in the Sky is a 1982 album by The Alan Parsons Project. Songs on this album are in a number of different styles, from cool and funky to lyrical and heavily orchestrated. The sleeve was green with an image of the Eye of Hours, which was gold-foil stamped for early pressings of the LP. Variously reported as the band's best-selling album, although others claim that Ammonia Avenue gets this honor. Vocal performers were Eric Woolfson, David Paton, Chris Rainbow, Lenny Zakatek, Elmer Gantry and Colin Blunstone. Eye in the Sky contained the Project's greatest hit, the title track, which had lead vocals by Eric Woolfson and hit #3 on the Billboard charts in the US and #6 in Canada. Says Parsons of the song, "...I hated the song when we first started recording it — I was quite ready to drop it altogether. Then we hit upon the hypnotic guitar chugs and it all came together." "Mammagamma" is an instrumental piece performed almost entirely on a Fairlight CMI computer. Astute listeners have noticed this track's melodic similarity to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall". The title is also a clear reference to Pink Floyd's Ummagumma. A disco remix featuring portions of both songs was released in 1982 by an Italian disco production team under the name "Pink Project".
