Loveblind Lyrics

Have I told you 'bout the case
Of the man who had no face? (Sure I have)
His wife suspected something
That's why she brought me in
We arranged to meet one night
At a bar called Aphrodite's (On Second Street)
When I looked into her eyes
I quickly realised (Danger)
The price was right, the deal was struck
I don't think that she gave it a thought
It was clear to see that the lady was love blind
It was clear to see, it was clear that she was love blind
Out into the foggy night
Into the city's blurry light (I drove alone)
I wondered then what kind of place
Would make a man lose face
I pieced together clue by clue
Just what a faceless man would do (It wasn't hard)
Who would he love, where would he go?
Places faceless men would know (On Second Street)
I was close, I was near
But that woman just wouldn't hear
It was clear to see that the lady was love blind
It was clear to see, it was clear that she was love blind
Love blind...
Next morning came, as mornings do
I had a shave that was close, too (A close shave)
In the mirror, in my space
There was a man without a face
I rang my client and I banged on her door
I told her it was me that we was lookin' for
It was clear to see that the lady was love blind
It was clear to see, it was clear that she was love blind

To me, a great great song. This song should get an award for brilliance!

 When I listen to this I go back to 1947. H. Bogart in "The Big Sleep". I would bet that Steve Kilbey was watching some film noir around this time period. Of course Steve put an LSD twist at the end. Please know that the chorus says things like “The Lady Was Love Blind”.  

SPOILER alert... So, Steve is a Private Eye. The story is about a woman looking for her husband. She suspects something. So Steve takes the chase. He starts his day off with a "close shave” then goes out lookimg for her husband. He's looking for this guy that doesn't have face! How is he going to find him? So, he's searching high and low. Where would he go? So he gets really close but the woman would listen to what he's finding out. THEN... The last verse is particularly potent. Basically... In the mirror while shaving he see's the man with NO FACE! So he runs to the woman and says "It was me we were looking for" Then... "It was plain to see that The lady was LOVE BLIND"
