Electric Light Orchestra - Buildings Have Eyes Lyrics






Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Silly silly are the thoughts that fill your head
Wish I'd never set out, wish I'd stayed in bed
You see reflections from across the street
So you better start movin' stop draggin' your feet

The cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Money money, gotta get some money and run
It's an issue I find unenviable
It doesn't matter which way you turn
But you gotta keep trying cause you never learn

The cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Funny funny how the world goes round and round
You better watch your step don't make a sound
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Pretty pretty
Chilly chilly
Silly silly
Money money

  1. M.... L....

    Like this song 👍🥰

  2. G.... ....

    At this point the band should've been renamed to 'Electric Light Synthesizer'. Most of the songs on this album were overworked and the lyrics running out of gas. There's only a few songs worth keeping.

  3. A.... ....

    Glad this song finally got released on the Secret Messages double album last year.

    A.... ....

    It was a UK B-side and then appeared on Afterglow, so....

    A.... ....

    @TVonthePorch Right, but now it finally got its due on the actual album

    Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
    Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
    The windows watch you as you walk along
    And the streets lead back to where you started from

    The cities watching and you can't get by
    No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
    This place is lonely but you can't get away
    No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

    Silly silly are the thoughts that fill your head
    Wish i'd never set out, wish i'd stayed in bed
    You see reflections from across the street
    So you better get movin' stop draggin' your feet

    The cities watching and you can't get by
    No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
    This place is lonely but you can't get away
    No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

    Money money, gotta get some money and run
    It's an issue i find unenviable
    It doesn't matter which way you turn
    But you gotta keep trying cause you never learn

    The cities watching and you can't get by
    No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
    This place is lonely but you can't get away
    No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes


    Funny funny how the world goes round and round
    You better watch your step don't make a sound
    The windows watch you as you walk along
    And the streets lead back to where you started from

    The cities watching and you can't get by
    No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
    This place is lonely but you can't get away
    No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

    Pretty pretty
    Chilly chilly
    Silly silly
    Money money
    Funny funny

    Buildings have eyes

    why are the Unreleased or B side singles / 12'' maxi's allways have the Best songs in a non album ?

    S.... R....

    This song, and Secret Messages as(almost) a whole was released exactly one year ago(at time of writing) on vinyl and digital

  14. S.... G....

    Better than a number of tracks on the album.
