Heading to the other coast – some New York punk, though that label is kind of a mismatch. Very stripped down, but not so heavy on the crunch and with a decided nod to the Allmans (at least in this one).

My own vocals in no way can match the angst of Tom Verlaine – but it’s fun to do anyways.

See No Evil – 1977, Television
Written by Tom Verlaine

What I want
I want now
And it’s a whole lot more
Than ‘anyhow’

I want to fly
Fly a fountain
I want to jump, jump, jump
Jump a mountain

I understand all, I see no
Destructive urges, I see no
It seems so perfect, I see no
I see, I see no, evil

I get ideas
I get a notion
I want a nice little boat
Made out of ocean

I get your point
You’re so sharp
Getting good reactions
With your BeBo talk

I understand all, I see no
Destructive urges, I see no
It seems so perfect, I see no
I see, I see no, no evil

Don’t say unconscious
No don’t say doom.
If you got to say it
Let me leave this room

Cuz what I want
I want now
And it’s a whole lot more
Than ‘anyhow’

I understand all, I see no
Destructive urges, I see no
It seems so perfect, I see no
I see, I see no, I see no evil

I’m runnin wild with the one I love
I see no evil
I’m runnin wild with the one-eyed ones
I see no evil
Pull down the future with the one you love
Pull down the future
