“See No Evil” is the first song of off Television’s debut album Marquee Moon. It features impressionistic lyrics and a focus on guitar arpeggios to create melody in the guitar part. The song discusses the morality of one’s actions through the lens of the Asian tale of three monkeys who “see no evil”...
See No Evil Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What I want, I want now
And it's a whole lot more than "anyhow"
I wanna fly, fly a fountain
I wanna jump, jump, jump, a-jump on a mountain
[Chorus]
I understand all (I see no)
Destructive urges (I see no)
But it seems so perfect (I see no)
I see, I see no evil
[Verse 2]
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 evil talk
[Chorus]
I understand all (I see no)
Destructive urges (I see no)
But it seems so perfect (I see no)
I see, I see no evil
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Don't say unconscious, no don't say doom
Well, if you got to say it, oh let me leave this room
'Cause what I want, I want now
And it's a whole lot more than "anyhow," get it?
[Chorus]
I understand all (I see no)
Destructive urges (I see no)
But it seems so perfect (I see no)
I see, I see no evil
[Outro]
I'm runnin' wild with the one I love (I see no evil)
I'm runnin' crazy with the one I love (I see no evil)
I keep on dancin' with the one I love (I see no evil)
You control the feelings of the one you love (I see no evil)
You control the feelings of the one you love (I see no evil)
You can feed the fires of the one you love (I see no evil)
You combine fusion with the one you love (I see no evil)
Pull down the future with the one you love (I see no evil)
You pull down the future with the one you love (I see no evil)
You pull down the future with the one you love (I see no evil)
You pull down the future with the one you love (I see no evil)
You pull down the future with the one you love (I see no evil)
You pull down the future with the one you love...
