Billy Idol é o nome artístico do punk rocker William Albert Michael Broad, que nasceu em Middlesex, Inglaterra no dia 30 de novembro de 1955. Iniciou sua carreira musical como integrante do Bromley Contingent, um grupo de seguidores do Sex Pistols, que incluía membros do The Clash e Siouxsie and the Banshees. Billy uniu-se a Tony James (que depois foi para o Sigue Sigue Sputnik e Sisters of Mercy), ambos faziam parte da primeira formação da lendária e famosa banda punk Chelsea, logo depois deixaram o Chelsea e formaram o Generation X, cujo nome veio de um livro sobre a Cultura Rock da Juventude dos Anos 60. O Generation X que além do próprio Idol na guitarra e vocal, trazia Tony James no baixo e John Towe na bateria, estourou em Londres em 1979. Após três discos lançados, o grupo acaba em 1980 e já no ano seguinte, Billy Idol resolve investir em uma carreira solo. Mudou-se em definitivo para os Estados Unidos e ao lado do respeitadíssimo guitarrista Steve Stevens, lançou grandes hits como "Dancing With Myself", "Mony Mony", "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without a Face", "Flesh For Fantasy", "Sweet Sixteen", "Don't Need a Gun" e "Cradle Of Love". O cantor permaneceu um longo tempo em silêncio na década de 90, onde lançou apenas o álbum "Cyberpunk". Em 2002, ele gravou o acústico “Storytellers” para o canal de TV norte-americano VH-1 e em 2005 volta as paradas com o álbum Devil's Playground.

I'm all out of hope
One more bad break could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
CHORUS:
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
CHORUS
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the State Line
Turning holy water into wine
Bringing it down, oh
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize
CHORUS
Such a human waste
Your eyes without a face
You know it's getting worse
I'm all out of hope
One more bad break could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
CHORUS:
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
CHORUS
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the State Line
Turning holy water into wine
Bringing it down, oh
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize
CHORUS
Such a human waste
Your eyes without a face
You know it's getting worse
