I'm looking for tracks which feature variants of the lyric "I see the world through different eyes".
It originates, I think, from a Fats Comet session, and as a left-over it was used on the tune that Barker and Sherwood did at Southern Studios ~1986 that never got released (see www.mixcloud.com/OnURoast/steve-barker-on-the-wire-interview-exclusives/ about 32:45)
The line then emerges as "Different Eyes" on Late Night Endless, but the vocal there had actually been recorded for the 2Badcard Meets The Ghetto Priest "Earthquake In The Heart Of Rome" album (unreleased, some featured in the Ramses show that was lately posted). GP's version is here: soundcloud.com/ghetto-priest/ghetto-priest-different-eyes
However, I thought I'd heard it again more recently on something else, but I be mistaken and it might just have been I played the GP one. So let me know if you think you know any other tracks that use that lyric!
As an aside, the Soundcloud link claims lyrics were by Jeb Loy Nicols, but it seems unlikely to me he wrote the "I see the world through different eyes" line itself (likely something Skip came up with), also note in the GP version he sings the line "I see you in the church on Sunday; there is no love left in their hearts on Mondays", based on the lines in Purify Your Heart (presumably written by Johnny Osbourne).
