Behind Blue Eyes

Months ago I bought Gothika, a decent movie, especially if you like Halle Berry, which, I mean, yeah, come on!
Anyway, the song for it was Behind Blue Eyes, which I'd heard a million times growing up, by The Who, only the soundtrack was Limp Bizkit, who I also like a lot (shame on me, being an Eminem fan AND liking Limp Bizkit) Anyway, here are the lyrics, because I love this song in ways I can't even explain. Note that there is no L-I-M-P say it - discover lyrics in here, because Pete Townshend did it better with the real words that go in there. I like Fred Durst's voice better, but that L-I-M-P thing gets on my nerves and the original just reminds me of things more substantial than the movie.


Behind Blue Eyes
by The Who
Pete Townshend
(not Limp Bizkit, though I love that rendition equally)

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
