For our 15th project the Lab Band is excited to bring you the music of the Eagles. Rolling Stone writes, "Specializing in broadly appealing, masterfully crafted tunes, the Southern California band has sold more than 100 million albums. The 1976 compilation, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, was the first album ever certified platinum and has sold 29 million copies in the U.S.” The band has five number-one singles, six Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, and six number one albums. We start each project by deciding on a set list, this was no easy assignment for the Eagles. We’ve settled on five timeless songs we feel represent what could arguably be called America’s biggest band. We hope you enjoy each one! LLB

 

City girls just seem to find out early

How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man

And she won't have to worry

She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely

I guess every form of refuge has its price

And it breaks her heart to think her love is only

Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down

But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting

With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the night anticipating

'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms, they fall together

She whispers that it's only for awhile

She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't now way to hide your lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night, it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew in school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?

She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well, so carefully

Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?

You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

 

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
