lyrics

LOOKOUT
Eye to eye
Station to station
Face to face
Nation to nation
Head to head
One on one
Heart to heart
All or none

Looking at me looking at you
We see each other’s points of view
In each other’s ways on each other’s face
A moment’s harmony a touch of grace

Falling for the fantasies
I can see behind your eyes
Reaching out and touching me
Smiling with your mind
Looking out and looking back
The feelings deep inside
Your mystery is plain to see
Too late to run and hide

Eye to eye
Station to station
Face to face
Nation to nation
Head to head
One on one
Heart to heart
All or none

Face to face we come in view
Eye to eye me touches you
A smile exchanged a remembered face
A chance to dream of days of grace

Falling for the fantasy
I can see behind your eyes
Reaching in and touching me
Smiling with your mind
Looking out and looking back
Cutting to the chase
A chance to dream eternally
Of perfect days of grace

The overdubbed guitar solo at the end of this song was intended to be a guide track.
It was recorded in one take using a lot of fingernail and hammer-ons to illustrate the existence of a guitar solo there.
The band liked the part and it was kept.
When this song started out its life it had the working title of Sponge, which the band would say in more and more preposterous ways until nobody could remember why they were saying it.
It was created at around the same time as another Ug Brothers song, also in the key of Gm, that had the working title of String.
When this song was first created, it had completely different words and the vocal melody was what became the second half of the guitar solo.
There are several key changes in this song:
the verse section is Gm-Bbno3rd-Dm7-Cno3rd, Gm-Bbno3rd-F-C;
the chorus is Em-Fmaj7-Am9-Bb(-5);
the solo section is Dm-Bb-F-C, Dm-Bb-F-Am-C.
Shortly before the words for this song were finalised, Dave went to a party where he met a girl whose name was Grace.
Natalie added the word ‘like’ to the line ‘One on one’ although no such simile was intended by the author.
