brown, blue, green...

The fact that I have green eyes has caused me to notice that most of the songs I hear with eye color mentioned use either blue or brown. What are some other songs that mention eye color? I want to know if there's any out there about me. :grin:

"Blue-eyed boy meets brown-eyed girl." ~ The Sweetest Thing, U2

Brown-Eyed Girl ~ Van Morrison

"Roses should be standing here

Brown eyes shouldn't cry

Hearts be made unbreakable

Blue eyes shouldn't lie" ~ Winter In Your Heart, RCPM

Green Eyes - Husker Du

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue? - Crystal Gale

And as for hazel eyes, a little known band mentioned them in a song once...

Memory Motel - The Rolling Stones

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl

Her eyes were hazel and her nose were slightly curved

"Temptation" by New Order focusses (haha!) very much on the theme of eye-colour.

Heaven, a gateway, a hope

Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke

And though it hurts me to treat you this way

Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home.

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try

To break this circle that's been placed around me

From time to time, I find I've lost some need

That was urgent to myself, I do believe

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home.

Oh, you've got green eyes

Oh, you've got blue eyes

Oh, you've got grey eyes

Oh, you've got green eyes

Oh, you've got blue eyes

Oh, you've got grey eyes

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before

No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Thoughts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Meanwhile "Rottweillers" by Nerve Rack -

- doesn't really refer to eye-colour as such, but is nonetheless very eye-descriptive:

"My eyes...terrorise

These bloodshot eyes,

My eyes are hollow ground"

One of my favorite songs! And MY eyes, too!

Erykah Badu - Green Eyes It's very smoooooth and jazzy. Think Billie Holiday. and uh-oo, a curse word too, I guess I have to put it on that thread, too!

"It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

My eyes are green

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables

It don't have nothing to do with your new friend"
