lyrics

I dont want to know,
about evil,
Only want to know about love,
I dont want to know one thing about evil,
only want to know about love...

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen,
Hard for me to use my eyes,
all the time that gold is glistening ,
trying to cut me down to size.

Waiting for planes to tumble,
waiting for the towns to fall,
waiting for the cities to crumble,
waiting till I see you crawl.

I dont want to know,
about evil,
Only want to know about love,
I dont want to know one thing about evil,
only want to know about love...

Written by John Martyn
From the magic record 'Solid Air'

Ballads of The Godless

Its got that 'stab you in the heart' effect when you listen to it. It might even take a few listens to get that feeling, but believe me when it hits, you'll know my meaning and thank me!! enjoy! Johnathan Martin
