Giles reveals a hidden talent in Where the Wild Things Are, that he can sing and play guitar. He sings ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ in the Espresso Pump. The song is by The Who and the guitar part was recorded by John King. The lyrics are as follows:
No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man,
to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.
No one knows what it’s like to be hated,
to be fated to telling only lies.
But my dreams, they aren’t as empty as my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance that’s never free.
No one knows what it’s like to feel these feelings like I do.
And I blame you.
No one bites back as hard on their anger,
none of my pain and woe can show through.
But my dreams, they aren’t as empty as my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance that’s never free.
When my fist clenches, crack it open before I use it and lose my cool.
When I smile tell me some bad news, before I laugh and act like a fool.
And if I swallow anything evil, put your finger down my throat.
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket,
keep me warm, let me wear your coat.
No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man,
to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.

I love hearing Giles sing, it’s amazing! Hannah is right though, the Scoobies’ reactions are brilliant…the look on Willow’s face makes the entire episode worthwhile.

Yes, the song is great, and Anthony’s voice is pleasent. BUT, the Scoobies’ reaction… that is briliant!!!! Mainly when the girls starts to say, that he is kinda sexy (Willow had a crush on Giles… YEAH, that is funny!!!!) and Xander having a total mental breakdown. :D
