Eye of The Lens is a track by the Comsat Angels from the EP of the same name released in 1981

lyrics

I'm walking down a street where children play
When they see me they run away
She will not look at me, she won't say why
And when I ask her she just cries

No one will talk to me, they turn to go
Their faces say there's something I should know
Could I be a victim of the games of all my friends
Or am I really being watched by the eye of the lens

My world is empty now, no-one comes near
No-one can stand the smell of fear
Hours pass so slowly, time beats a drum
As I wait for what I hope won't come

No-one will talk to me, they turn to go
Their faces say there's something I should know
Could I be a victim of the games of all my friends
Or am I really being watched by the eye of the lens

Something's coming closer, I can only stare
The scream of silence fills the air
I was not a victim of the games of all my friends
Now I find myself behind the eye of the lens

about

72RPM Records Wirral, UK

Everything sounds better at 72RPM because the control is with the artists...because 72rpm Records is run by the artists.
What else can we say about 72rpm?
..well, it's not quite as fast as 78rpm....which is pretty much how we like it.
