Can anyone here decipher the lyrics to the Fureys song Irish Eyes - it'snot the same as Irish Eyes are Smiling, it's a completely different song. I have run it over and over again and can get very little that I understand. Would appreciate better ears having a listen. Thanks. |

18 Sep 05 - 07:53 PM (#1566305) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fureys 'Irish Eyes' From: GUEST,Hoges in WA The track is called simply "Irish Eyes". It's on the album The Best of The Fureys & Davy Arthur (not the one subtitled Celtic Dreams, the one where they are sitting in the lounge room). It's track 18. It starts off (I think) Girl of Mine, Girl of Mine you've got Irish Eyes, Irish Eyes... I can't make out any more. Hope this helps someone out there. Thanks Hoges in WA |

Normally a good searching technique is to listen to a sound sample, transcribe what you can, and then Google with a phrase or two, but I'm stuck at the transcription step. Can anyone help? By the way, it's attributed to "Lyle, McGuiness." Hey, this page says there's a band called The Lyle McGuinness Band, that recorded IRISH EYES on an album called "Acting on Impulse," originally released in 1983, re-released as a CD in 2002. I couldn't find a sound sample, though. |

You're a champeen, Jim but you've just given me hundreds more pages to search. Google is not forthcoming on string searches - I've even gone further into the track to the line "don't go giving me no dirty looks now" but no luck. This is driving me mad. I wish I could find a snippet from the Acting on Impulse cd. On, On... I'll find it one day I hope. |
