Harold's Amazing Eyes
from The Time Travelling Musical Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Musical by Flat 29
lyrics
When I first opened my eyes, my mummy and daddy looked on in surprise
They didn’t know what to say, about the beautiful big blues a-lookin' their way
And as I looked across the room, all the things that I could see
What a wonderful feeling feeling
I looked down towards the floor, and looked over at the door
And looked up at the ceiling ceiling
And oh, it was a kind of magic, because my infant vision was fantastic
Spoken: And that was just the beginning, as I grew older my vision became so acute that I could
see further than any man in England
And people started to talk, about the handsome young man with eyes like a hawk
And rumours started to spread, and all the ladies wanted to get in to my bed, they said…
All the things that you can see, I just wish you’d look at me
You’re the greatest of all the guys (I know)
Come on over to my place and bring your beautiful face
But you just want me for your eyes and oh
I really could see everything and so they crowned me king
It’s no surprise that a king so wise would have the world’s most beautiful eyes
I’ve got no horizons
And it’s no surprise, I take good care of my eyes because without them I would die
They didn’t know what to say, about the beautiful big blues a-lookin' their way
And as I looked across the room, all the things that I could see
What a wonderful feeling feeling
I looked down towards the floor, and looked over at the door
And looked up at the ceiling ceiling
And oh, it was a kind of magic, because my infant vision was fantastic
Spoken: And that was just the beginning, as I grew older my vision became so acute that I could
see further than any man in England
And people started to talk, about the handsome young man with eyes like a hawk
And rumours started to spread, and all the ladies wanted to get in to my bed, they said…
All the things that you can see, I just wish you’d look at me
You’re the greatest of all the guys (I know)
Come on over to my place and bring your beautiful face
But you just want me for your eyes and oh
I really could see everything and so they crowned me king
It’s no surprise that a king so wise would have the world’s most beautiful eyes
I’ve got no horizons
And it’s no surprise, I take good care of my eyes because without them I would die

LEVEL 1- The 2011 Collection
by Miracle Of Soundsupported by 4 fans who also own “Harold's Amazing Eyes”
I find it difficult to choose ONE favourite from this, but the end of Trip to Vegas always makes me crack up laughing. Even though I've never played Fallout: New Vegas, the exasperated "Not again" is so applicable to other games...or anything that involves computers being idiots.

4th Grade Talent Show
by the great Luke Skisupported by 4 fans who also own “Harold's Amazing Eyes”
Technically my favorite track is "You Don't Know Jack (Plan B)", because it's just a great reimagining (Some Jerk with a Camera is now officially a reimagineer). But a lot of the album is good, and the "Luke Ski Phase 2" stuff is also good, but different.
