Question
I'm thinking it was 1980 or 1981 that I heard a song.  I don't remember the title but I thought the name of the band was Eye to Eye.  Can't find anything about them.  I remember a partial of the lyrics," Gotta stay up late and get my fantasies wound".  Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Lorrie,

You were looking for the song 'Nice Girls' from Eye to Eye. This single, released in 1981, peaked the US Billboard Charts at # 37, and is from the self-titled debut album released that same year.

Below is the complete lyrics:

Disappointed youth
Where is all the flash
I can't be uncouth
I can speak no trash

What's gonna happen to me
Don't want to turn out to be
Not another nice girl

Wanna stay out late
With those ostracized guys
Silver glitter on my face
Smear a little round my eyes

What's gonna happen to she
Who can't turn out, can't be
Nothing but a nice girl

Oh, what a shame
She's nobody's dream
She's got nothing to say
Remains lonely and clean

Body pressure up
Gets my fantasies wound
Wanna eat you up
Pull you down to the ground

Whats gonna happen if she
Spends her life all pristine
Like a proper nice girl

Such a game, middle class
Throwing sticks in the mud
Shame, shame, shame middle class
Nipping girls in the bud

Wanna stay out late
With those ostracized guys
Silver glitter on my face
Smear a little round my eyes

What's gonna happen to she
Who can't turn out, can't be
Nothing but a nice girl

What's gonna happen to she
Who can't turn out, can't be
Nothing but a nice girl
