UNIT Pale Green Eyes.

Note: all tracks recorded under the names Academy 23 or UNIT are the property of DNA Records and protected by copyright, regardless of who wrote the works concerned. This is a track recorded in October 2021 for our 49th album: Alone In A Quiet Place. It is based on a ballad from 1983 called Pale Blue Eyes but the inspiration is the same – Paul Novak, one of the boys I knew at school – a fearful period of my life. The pictures are by Noriko Nakagawa; she also provides many of the bird paintings for our other tracks.

Do you feel just like a wall?
In fact, do you feel anything at all?
Sometimes I wonder if you realise
how I feel when I look into your pale green eyes.

Sometimes, when I look at your face,
on one of those days when you’re staring into space,
your eyes look as if they’ve seen all the sadness in the world.

Crying pathetic tears, what am I doing here,
still cracking up with fear?
Oh how I wish I knew, what do I have to do
to mean anything to you?
This loneliness is nothing new
but then why should it matter to you?
