Subject: ID Help...#4 (?Phil Collins)

Written By: Peter G. on 5/6/2000 at 10:36 a.m.

This one has a Phil Collins sort of sound:

This situation isn't all it seems There's more here than meets the eye There's something I don't see Ah, but my imagination Can read between the lines And you're a real naive deceiver Thinking you can hide all the signs

With your innocent eyes You've been telling me lies You've been making a fool of me With your solid disguise I'm living a fantasy You're lying with your innocent eyes

This situation I can do without So don't trouble yourself because I just found you out While your lying eyes are saying You wanted only me Your heart is with another And you say what you think I will need

At least I can hear the lyrics on this one...Peter G.

I don't have this song in my extensive collection of '80s music myself, so I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure your "mystery song" here is "Innocent Eyes" by Graham Nash, a minor hit here in the U.S. in the Spring of '86. (As you probably know, Nash was a founding member of '60s band The Hollies, and later the '70s group Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. And yes, he does sound a lot like fellow Brit Phil Collins, IMO.) The song was off his 1986 solo album, also titled "Innocent Eyes". Unfortunately, the album is long out-of-print in all formats, although it was issued on CD here in the U.S...
