I just searched RT's website and neither of those songs mention green eyes.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting, Hec. I knew the context of the Chuck Berry song, but not the Van Morrison. (Which came out around the time I started kindergarten.)
But "Jolene" (in both the Parton version and the Olivia Newton-John version that's on her live album) is definitely supposed to be A Beauty.

I think there's a song on Rumor & Sigh or Mirror Blue that does mention green eyes, though. Beeswing, maybe?

According to the RT Song-o-matic, Calvary Cross is the only song to mention green eyes, or eye:
I was under the Calvary Cross
The pale-faced lady she said to me
I’ve watched you with my one green eye
And I’ll hurt you ‘till you need me
You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes
You do nothing with reason
One day you catch a train
Never leaves the station

That ain't no love song.

What does the world need? More flaming tubas! The Phoenix Projekt and the Tubatron.
Corwood & Hec, I finally put those books in the mail. Been a madhouse here.

Thanks, Joe!

Has anyone pointed out the existance of the Hype Machine? [link]
It's an audio blog aggregator. Looking for mp3's by a band you suspect may have been recently hyped in a music blog like, say, the Pipettes (a British group with a Phil Spector fetish)? The Hype Machine will help you find over a dozen songs! [link]
Seriously, this thing rocks.
