    Lyrics:
    Toxic eye- laughter is in short supply
    Tell me why- when a punch line lands in my lap I’d rather cry
    You tell a joke but you tell it wrong
    Sharing my disdain for a simple song
    You can call but I seldom answer after all
    So tonight I really should confide
    Annie, I’m either prophetic or pathetic I just can’t decide
    Oh to deter a reoccurring dream
    Slipping down a hill as you watch me scream
    Lately they all end the same unless I lie awake
    Toxic Eye
    Toxic Eye
    The ocular deceiving
    All the poison I’m perceiving
    Toxic eye
    Gouge my toxic eye

    I want nothing more in this world than to see Choir Boy get the recognition they deserve. I am going to say something that might shock some people but it is the truth and must be said. Gathering Swans is literally on the same level as The Queen is Dead. It really is.

      They are a fantastic band and they did some of the best songs in modern music for sure - I have often thought of the Smiths, the comparison is not risky -
      what about the first album ? That's terrific as well - such a great band

    This song will always have a special place in my life. I randomly had this suggested by yt algorithm, prob after checking Genesis P. Orridge out. Anyway i was waiting for the hospital to call as my partner was awaiting to give birth an i wasnt allowed there until the birth was underway due to covid 19 limited access etc. I played this song on repeat to get me through longest night of my life an it will always remind of the time my beautiful daughter was born. So thank you to choir boy an dais recs for bringing light to me an permanently capturing the most emotional/intense time ive known x

    This song is perfection. The dance of the melodies across this ballroom floor of my dreams has both chilled and warmed me every one of my 15 listens so far. If there was ever a song that would be playing as I awoke from a coma at the funeral of my past misery Toxic Eye would be that song.
