angry eyes (or maybe, Hungry eyes ??)


i would like to know who sings it (a male) and/ or the title
thank u for your help

Answer
Dear Fadi,

Sorry for the late reply. The song you're probably looking for is "Hungry Eyes" from the British rock band Sniff N The Tears. The song was released in 1982 from their "Ride Blue Divide" album.

Below is the complete lyrics.

This line I shoot has no disguise
straight from the rim no end in sight
so if you need proof that I'll survive
then take one look at these hungry eyes

Hungry eyes hungry eyes
just take one look at these hungry eyes

No fortune tellers crystal ball
can shut me out or make this heart feel small
I've just one shot in my lifetime
I'm gonna rule the roost you suckers stand in line

Hungry eyes hungry eyes
just take one look at these hungry eyes

Fancy women fancy cars
fancy talk in fancy bars
I'll live the life that money buys
to hide what lies behind these hungry eyes

Hungry eyes hungry eyes
just take one look at these hungry eyes

Regards,

Expertise

Although born in the mid-60's, i learned to love music dating back to the 50's and specifically during the mid-70's and late 80's up to early 90's, where my love for music reached its zenith. Knowledgeable and can answer questions relating to 70s and 80s music...from mainstream to somewhat obscure or less-popular ones. I'm not much into OPM. Used to listen to American Top 40 hosted by Casey Kasem every week.

Experience

Mostly by listening to radio and quite a lot of background research on artists. Huge collection of 45's and LPs from mid-70's to 80's. I find music very therapeutic. Watches game shows about music and plays musical trivia stuff. Hangs around in DJ's booth. Buys old and rare music albums. Collects mp3 music of different genres.
