Cyclops

Taken from "Devil Between My Toes" 1987

"Tom the happy pretender
One eye on the mend
One eye on his watch
His parents told him
Don't worry, Tom, there's plenty o' jobs in the big
city but with one eye only
It gets so hard

No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception
Cyclops
No depth perception"

I wonder where Bob gets his musical ideas from? Did the Cyclops lead to the no depth perception just through riffing through his song? Or did he have a thought one day about Depth perception and wrote Cyclops? This song is from the very early days of GBV and has that brittle production sound but is quite a mature song. "Bom" as the packing singing goes.
