Actually, this song was written after Showdown. When John recorded Slips and Tangles, he took a few of his Propagandhi lyrics with him, including the first verse of Showdown, which he then wrote a second verse for and renamed "Greenest Eyes". There's also a line in the song "Airport Lounge" that goes "She lays her body down and tries to say: There is no answer to a kiss", which was taken from a Propagandhi cover song...

Don't know which song was written first but "Greenest Eyes" was recorded nearly a year before "Showdown". I have the "Slips & Tangles" cassette and it says that "Greenest" was recorded in April '92, and the "How To Clean Everything" album was recorded in Feb '93.

The line i "Airport Lounge" comes from the song "Leg-Hold Trap" that JKS wrote for his pre-Propagandhi band Toothpick Hercules. But Propagandhi both recorded and performed the song. A live version has been available on the Quality/Quantity compilations. A studio recordning was made in...

A live version has been available on the Quality/Quantity compilations. A studio recordning was made in 93 and was supposed to be on the debut album but in the end never made the cut. It was released for the first time in 2012 as a part of the digital EP "Recovered".
When John was in Propagandhi, some of the lyrics from this song were spliced with others in Showdown. The contrast is brilliant.
