★ Harmony的自我診療室 ★

The Alan Parsons Project (亞倫派森實驗樂團)，一個活躍在70年代中期到80年代的英國二人組合。
固定成員為Alan Parsons以及Eric Woolfson.


一般被歸類在前衛搖滾，但好幾首歌樂風其實還蠻親民的，別被前衛二字嚇到。
80年初期的幾首單曲都非常暢銷，像這首Eye In The Sky，相信有非常多人聽過，
只是你可能不知道名字，或是不知道誰唱的...
這些帶著比較多流行味的歌，讓一般人接受這個團，也成了許多人接觸搖滾樂的開端...

先聽聽看吧！

這首歌收錄在1982年發行的同名專輯中，在美國的Billboard單曲榜上最高紀錄是第三名！

Lyrics:

Eye In The Sky

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Don't think sorry's easily said 
Don't try turning tables instead

You've taken lots of Chances before 
But I ain't gonna give any more 
Don't ask me 
That's how it goes 
Cause part of me knows what You're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret 
Don't let the fire rush to your head

I've heard the accusation before 
And I ain't gonna take any more 
Believe me 
The sun in your Eyes 
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky 
Looking at you
I can read your mind 
I am the maker of rules 
Dealing with fools 
I can cheat you blind

And I don't Need to see any more 
To know that 
I can read your mind, I can read your mind 
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false Illusions behind 
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind

So find another fool like before 
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing 
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky 
Looking at you
I can read your mind 
I am the maker of rules 
Dealing with fools 
I can cheat you blind

And I don't Need to see any more 
To know that 
I can read your mind, I can read your mind 
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
