John Martyn - Look In Lyrics






Just another voice in the wilderness
Just another cry for peace
Just another voice full of loneliness
Just another prayer for release
Look up! Look out! Look in! Look all about
Look everywhere but look at yourself
Hold on! Hold up! Hold out! Hang in
Please everyone, but please yourself
And try to make the world a better loving, living peaceful place

There's too many fat, there's too many thin
There's too many outside trying to get in
There's too many trapped
There's too many pinned
There's too many winters that should have been springs, now
Get in! Get up! Get it out! Get it on
Get everything you can for free
Look in! Look up! Look out! Look back
Look everywhere, but don't look for me
And try to make the world a better loving, living peaceful place
Please!

It's nothing but a look in a two-way mirror
It's just another cow in the corn
It's just another gift for the Indian giver
It's just another blow on the horn
Look in! Look out! Look up! Look down
Look everywhere, but don't look for me
Get it in! Get it up! Get it out! Get it on
Get everything you can for free
And make the world a better loving, living, giving peaceful place

John Martyn Look In Comments
  1. V.... A....

    Just superb

  2. D.... B....

    He was in his own musical world, nobody could conjure up that feeling that John portrays through music. Always been part of my musical life and luckily saw him at the jazz cafe in the late 90s. God bless you John .We are all just looking on 😊

  3. G.... ....

    If the universe had a voice this would be it. Proper musicians here.

  4. m.... ....

    I AM JOHN WAYNE

  5. b.... ....

    this is painful to watch....but I can't stop.

  6. J.... C....

    The more out of it the better

  13. j.... n....

    They don`t come any better. Always a pleasure never a chore.

  14. R.... M....

    Brilliant !

  15. H.... J....

    I'm in love with this. Wish I had seen him live. I was introduced to 'Solid Air' in '94; I then bought 'Sunday's Child' around the same time. I once heard he was playing 'Lochgelly Centre' but he just wasn't my boyfriends cup of tea and I didn't want to go on my own. Years down the line , out of all the music I've listened to he was the only one that stuck to me emotionally (and the Cocteau Twins and other bits here and there) that I started watching him on You Tube and he is my deep favourite ....will order 'the man upstairs' on DVD soon so I can watch in awe and get a bit drunk and have a night in. That boyfriend, (he's now my husband) just leaves me to it when I put him on TV, although on a night out he's come in drunk and serenaded me with 'Gun Money' which was well entertaining.

  16. C.... H....

    Can't work out if it is theatre, or just pissed, great though.

  17. M.... ....

    Alan Thomson.... One seriously underrated player.

    M.... ....

    They are all underrated that's why we love them.

    M.... ....

    BRILLIANT BASSIST ALAN

  18. H.... ....

    40 years in November since I saw him in Southampton - and still I come back to John; just love him!

  19. R.... T....

    it says everything about John Martyn that he mastered two kinds of music, this jazzy style and his Solid Air Period too.

  32. P.... P....

    I often think how underestimated were the superb musicians John surrounded himself with. His 80's lineup were superb.

  33. R.... R....

    John Martyn after a few too many is a million times better than most, he was unbelivably brilliant

  34. r.... b....

  38. M.... t....

    Brilliant.

  39. G.... P....

    Sorry. Alan Thompson on bass.

  40. G.... P....

    THIS is the great period of his life. He went from sublime to simply genius the closer to the end he got. Magical. Pino Palladino and Spencer. They cook it up. Fantastic.

    G.... P....

    I agree.......as some one who was a close friend for thirty years. https://www.facebook.com/groups/495218443957702/
