And by Muki

Don't Want to Know
John Martyn

I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
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
And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love
I'm waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till the sea a grow
Yes, it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
'Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
Only…

1. Great choice!

The only version I had ever heard was John Martyn's

[Lodestar]

2. This version is good but the one on No Little Boy is the best imo.

Also love the song One World from that same album.

4. Saw John many years ago in Adelaide

He was supposed to be having a joint concert with Bert jansch. My mate and I wanted to see Bert and didn't know much about John. But Bert punched John in the face and damaged his wrist. We could have cancelled, but decided to take the chance.

Brilliant concert. Just John and his guitar.
