Folks, it was 40 years ago John Lennon was killed in NYC. Patch On His Eye is a collaboration Rick Whitehouse and Clay Wilson wrote, performed, recorded, and finished on Monday, December 8, 1980. Our song isn't a tribute to Lennon but a remembrance of that very sad day and Patch On His Eye is coincidentally about a murderous pirate. ENJOY.~~~Clay Brian Wilson
PATCH ON HIS EYE!
Lyric & Music/Clay Wilson & Rick Whitehouse
Verse: When the crystal ship arrived
It was close to nine.
And the fog rolled in
With a howl in the wind.
Pre-Chorus: Arrrg, arrrg,
Arrrg, arrrg.
(Chord Instrumental)
Verse: See the PATCH ON HIS EYE
That can’t conceal his lie.
Some victims he had chosen
Are in intertidal zone.
Pre-Chorus: Arrrg, arrrg,
Arrrg, arrrg.
(Chorus Instrumental Guitar Solo)
Verse: When the crystal ship arrived
Nineteen bodies were knifed.
The lie that he tried to hide
Caused the pirate suicide!
Pre-Chorus: Arrrg, arrrg,
Arrrg, arrrg.
(Chorus Instrumental Guitar Solo)
Coda: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggg!
(Scream)
