Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Don't Want To Know

I don't want to know 'bout evil, I only want to know about love

I don't want to know 'bout evil, I only want to know about love

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen

Hard for me to use my eyes

And all around the gold is glistening

Making sure it keeps me down to size

I'm waiting for the plains to tumble

Waiting for the towns to fall

I'm waiting for the cities to crumble

Waiting till the sea ?...?

Yes, it's getting hard to listen

Hard for us to use our eyes

'Cause all around the gold is glistening

Making sure it keeps us hypnotised
