Evil
UFO · An Introduction To Ufo [2011]
Drive me crazy, you drive me wild
Get home from work I don't feel all right
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Movin' in, you're movin' out, baby you move my mind about
Don't give me no reasons, don't give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you've broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is a bit of your love
All I want is a part of you
Heaven knows that you're an evil child
Drive me crazy, you drive me wild
Get home form work I don't feel all right
Go in your bedroom you just wanna fight
Movin' in, you're movin' out, baby you move my mind about
Don't give me no reasons, don't give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you've broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is to hold you tight
All I need is a part of you
Evil - UFO
Released in 1972, 'Evil' stands as a defining track in the progressive rock canon, showcasing the UK band UFO's mastery of complex time signatures and atmospheric soundscapes. The song features the iconic guitar work of Jimmy Bain and the driving rhythm section of the late Tony MacAlpine, establishing a template for the group's later fusion of hard rock and progressive elements. While the track was originally recorded for their debut album, it has since become a staple of their live performances, often appearing on bootleg recordings and reissues that highlight their energetic stage presence. The composition reflects the era's fascination with sci-fi themes and existential dread, delivered through a dense arrangement that balances melodic hooks with technical proficiency. Its enduring popularity underscores its role as a cornerstone of UFO's discography, frequently cited by fans and critics alike as a prime example of 1970s British progressive rock.
