It's In My Eyes - Minor Threat
Brown Eyes - Fleetwood Mac
These Eyes - The Guess Who
Must they have 'eyes' in the title?
I'm Looking Through You - The Beatles
"The Look of Love" and such, yes.
Chas Jankel - Eye No Corrida
Haircut 100 - (eye eye eye eye, eye eye -R)
On the real tip
Crystal Gayle - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue
The Billy I - Eyes w/o A Face
Segueing into Modern Romance - Eye eye eye eye Moosey
At this point, "Hush Hush, eye to eye" pops into my mind. But too tenuous, even for me.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - The Platters
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Tears From My Eyes - Ken Boothe
EYES SUBTITLE RELATED BUSINESS
Surely:
Reminds of the Dee Edwards lyric, which always worries me - "If only I could get your eyes to look in my direction". Makes me think she's after Marty Feldman.
He must be trending on the Internet just from SS traffic alone.

A mix of tracks by blind dudes?
Stevie, Ray, Jose, any number of Blind Lemon-R blues dudes. Who else can be down?
Peters n Lee, natch.
"Welcome ho-oh-me, we-e-l-come
Come on iiiiiin
And clo-oh-se the door".
Yes.
I wondered, was tribute man like, a real blindness? Who knows what lay behind dem shades?
Later, I wondered... WAS OG A REAL BLINDNESS?? I mean, if he was knocking the back out of the bird, he hadn't done bad. IIRC.
Also, add Raul Mid??n to the blindnesses. Dude is

Also, the entire catalogue of Eyeless In Gaza? I once had a pained conversation with a foreign bloke with heavy accent and pidgin English who told me this was his favourite band. I'd never heard of them. I thought he was on about Isla St. Clair for the longest time. Serious. I cannot imagine how he'd heard of either as this was like in the stone ages, before the internets and everything. How we laughed, as we drew bison on the walls later on.
