Can anyone help me scratch an itch i can't reach. Steve sang a song a long time ago that is not on any album of his or anyone elses that i know of. Part of the lyric was " don't shoot 'til you see the whites of thier eyes". Is it 'the last starfighter'? Can i get a copy anywhere? It's keeping me awake!

Wow. I've never heard this before. Thanks.
But this isn't the song the Phantom is looking for.

I have found an unofficial Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel site which mentions "Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes"

Scroll down to 1981-1989 (link below)

Hope this helps.
