Dear Billy,
My Troll friend and I, while never big Billy Idol fans per se, have always wondered what the song "Eyes without a Face" could possibly mean. We often joke around about one day sending someone to each other house who embodies this very lyric but have yet to come across someone who looks like this. Have you ever seen someone who had eyes but no face? Where did the face go? More importantly, what are the eyes resting on now? Wouldn't a more accurate depiction then be eyes resting on a neck lump? Just me?
We have both thought long and hard about what having eyes, but no face, might mean and I gotta tell ya - we are coming up with bubkiss here. If you can shed some light on this, we would be ever so grateful. Perhaps Billy himself could offer a few suggestions? He must have known someone suffering from this very affliction to write a whole song about them - its time to fess up there Billy. Who has eyes with no face?
How is this possible?
Help?!?!?!?!?!
If such a person were to be found we would gladly pay them $5 Canadian dollars to go to our other friend Candido's house and scare the bejeezus out of her. We still haven't got her back yet from the terrible "Clowning" incident of 05.
With many thanks,
Imogene and the Troll

I think when Billy wrote "I spend so much time believing all the lies, to keep the dream alive" I think what he really meant to say was "I'm convincing myself that such a person actually exists, so I have something to live for".
Or, it's a love song. But if it is then that person's gotta have pretty great eyes.
The photo you chose is super creepy, thanks!
