FAWM: "Sad Eyed Girls"

Sad Eyed Girls

2025 by @dhiatt

Liner Notes

I'm not really into "funny" music, but I thought this title would work with a pop punk style and thought it was worth trying out.

I'm not thrilled with it, but 14 songs ain't gonna write themselves. The line "happy girls are people too" is probably my favorite; and finally a halfway decent guitar solo.

Lyrics

I her standing in the shade Her raven hair falls across her face I walk up to her; can she make my day? She smiles at me so I walk away

I just can’t deal with all… that

Whyyyy am I like this Is it meant to be this hard Something wrong with my nerves? Am I a sucker…? I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls

Smile that lights up a room? I’d rather find someone in the gloom Downward tilt to your eye? Can’t get you off my mind

And I’m making my… move

Whyyyy am I like this Is it meant to be this hard Something wrong with my nerves? I’m a sucker for the sad eyed girls? I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls

I know it can’t be good for me Happy girls are people too But if you’re a ray of sunshine Then I’ll go blind

Whyyyy am I like this Is it meant to be this hard? Something wrong with my nerves? I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls

I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls I’m just a sucker for the sad eyed girls Do you have sad eyes?

great opening riff! I like how that little trill with the guitar comes in by itself.

Wow, what a fun song! Reminds me of way back when Danny Elfman was busy with Oingo Boingo! Killer lead guitar parts! And I am really loving your clean vocals as a contrast to the punk crunch! Awesome hook/title too! I kinda think you should be thrilled with it! Great work!
