Corey Taylor was inspired to write “Black Eyes Blue” after a trip to London with his wife:
We were there in the winter, checking stuff out, freezing our asses off, but she didn’t care, she had a smile that was ten-miles-wide and enjoyed every second. I realized that not only is this one of the main...
[Verse 1]
I stood alone in Trafalgar Square
I looked around, I didn't see you there
Before they closed the roads, I made it down to Hyde
I just need you now, I need you by my side
[Chorus]
I know that there's no other way
I know that there is nothing more that I can say
Make my black eyes blue
I fall for you
[Verse 2]
Behind the trees in front of Golden Gates
I was never beholden to the hands of fate
Consternation in the middle of my chest
You know me better than the ones who know me best
[Chorus]
I know that there's no other way
I know that there is nothing more that I can say
Make my black eyes blue
I fall for you
[Verse 3]
London Eyes, they give me Russian looks
Ooh, this winter wind is all it took
Lights are comin' up just as the sun is goin' down
The sentiment and all of it is all I want, I need you now
[Pre-Chorus]
We all need
A little red on our horizon, baby
We all live and breathe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Red on my horizon)
[Chorus]
I know that there's no other way
I know that there is nothing more that I can say (Red on my horizon)
Make my black eyes blue
I fall
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Ooh, oh, all I need
I need your red on my horizon, baby
You make me live, you make me breathe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Red on my horizon)
[Chorus]
I know that there's no other way
I know that there is nothing more that I can say (Red on my horizon)
Make my black eyes blue
Make my black eyes blue (Red on my horizon)
Make my black eyes blue
I fall

For the longest time, this song was called ‘Clash rip-off’. I just wanted to write something that cool, you know? I failed miserably but it’s a great fucking song.
