Your Eyes Lyrics
You ask me why I'll tell you then
Two worlds collide we bury them
We're far too drunk to see these things as they are
You painted me and I sat quite still
A tiny room in Notting Hill
It was far too dark to look at things as they are
I've seen the light vanish out of your eyes
(Ah oh no, from your eyes, ah oh)
So goodbye
You tell me now I'm young and wild
You spare the rod and you spoil the child
I'd love to stay but I think I'm off to Japan
Anyway
I've seen the light vanish out of your eyes
(Ah oh no, from your eyes, ah oh)
So goodbye
(From your eyes, aah oh no, where has it gone?)
Your eyes have lost their shine
Two worlds collide we bury them
We're far too drunk to see these things as they are
You painted me and I sat quite still
A tiny room in Notting Hill
It was far too dark to look at things as they are
(Ah oh no, from your eyes, ah oh)
So goodbye
You spare the rod and you spoil the child
I'd love to stay but I think I'm off to Japan
(Ah oh no, from your eyes, ah oh)
So goodbye
(From your eyes, aah oh no, where has it gone?)
Your eyes have lost their shine

I'm thinking this song is about the realization that your significant other is losing interest in you/the relationship:
"We're far too drunk to see these things as they are"
"Your eyes have lost their shine"
Such a sad song about the imminent demise of a relationship.
Harriet’s multi-tracked “oh… no!” in the choruses absolutely gets me every time, and made all the more powerful in that it’s followed by Cry on the album.
