Naked Eyes

A little something about Naked Eyes
Naked Eyes formed in the UK in 1981. Despite their relative short time on the musical scene, they were a key presence in the 'synth pop' movement of the early '80s. They debuted in March 1983 with the LP "Burning Bridges", reissued in the U.S. a month later (minus several tracks) as a self-titled effort. The lead single, a majestic cover of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David perennial "Always Something There to Remind Me," emerged as a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching the U.S. Top Ten on the strength of its video, which received heavy airplay on the fledgling MTV network. The American follow-up, "Promises, Promises" (not the Bacharach/David composition), was also a major hit, and Naked Eyes' future looked bright; however, 1984's Fuel for the Fire fared poorly, its lone single "(What) In the Name of Love" barely scraping into the Top 40. The duo disbanded soon after, and in 1988 Fisher resurfaced as one half of the pop duo Climie Fisher. He died August 25, 1999, of complications following stomach surgery.

Lyrics shown below : "Always something there to remind me", "Promises, Promises"

Always something there to remind me

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with meAnd every step I take reminds me of just how we used to beWell, how can I forget you, girl?When there is always something there to remind meAlways something there to remind meAs shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at nightAnd I can't help recalling how it how it felt to kiss and hold you tightWell, how can I forget you, girl?When there is always something there to remind meAlways something there to remind meI was born to love her, and I will never be freeYou'll always be a part of meIf you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to shareJust go back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be thereWell, how can I forget you, girl?When there is always something there to remind meAlways something there to remind meI was born to love her, and I will never be freeYou'll always be a part of me'Cause there is always something there to remind meAlways something there to remind meAlways something there to remind me

Promises, Promises


Never had a doubt in the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted you true in the beginning
I loved you right through

On and on we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did

You made me promises, promises
Knowing I'd believe
Promises, promises
You knew you'd never keep

Second time around, I'm still believing
The words that you said
You said you'd always be here
And love forever still repeats in my head

You can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart

You made me promises, promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?

On and on we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
But you can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart

You made me promises, promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe
All of your promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?

Promises
Promises
