Sherlock Holmes- No-one knows what it's like...

Clips of Sherlock Holmes, as portrayed by the brilliant Jeremy Brett, set to one of my all-time favourite songs, 'Behind Blue Eyes' by The Who.

Now I know Jeremy didn't actually have blue eyes but you can think of 'behind blue eyes' as a metaphor, if you like, for Holmes's ice cool facade ;)

I thought I'd write the lyrics out in case anyone is interested:

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

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
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


Thanks for watching!

Oh, I haven't heard this song in a long time! It's nice to see it with Jeremy! *claps* Nice Job!

Where is that clip from at 3:04?

[givemeanimeanyday]

It's in 'The Eligible Bachelor', from The Casebook.

Thank you for commenting!

Excellent video!! THIS is true, 100% Holmes! Sophisticated, and yet, bohemian. Intellectual, and yet, adventurous. Not that nightmare Guy Ritchie is going to unleash upon us! Long live to Jeremy Brett's Holmes. And again, congratulations for such a wonderful video clip.

Well, I do find the song's use of the words 'no one' odd as I find it fitting.

But true, there's only one Batman.

¬¬ Too bad he wasn't real.

[rlh14618]

BRILLIANT!!!

[Izayoiaki24]

Is it wrong that I always hear it as "No-one knows what it's like to be the Batman"?

[DoctorMasterRoseOT3]

Wow, hold on a second, what episode is that at 0:27 where he's getting beat up, I haven't seen that one.

By the way - this video was fantastic, and great song choice, I love this version so much more than the limp Bizkit one :)

[haleyspakanik]

this is my dads favorite song
