"See No Evil" (Television)

I've never been exactly sure what Television frontman Tom Verlaine was driving at in "See No Evil," the opener of the landmark album Marquee Moon (1977).  In any case, I never got the impression that he was using the phrase in the usual sense (i.e. turning a blind eye to wrongdoing).  Considering the rest of the lyrics are somewhat fantastical (i.e. jumping over mountains, flying fountains, etc.), he seems to be using the phrase to mean that, he's so optimistic and hope-filled, that he's seeing the good in everything.
Er.  Maybe.
Like any good New Yawk art punk band of the late 70s, things are always a bit more cerebral than they might seem on the surface.  And based on what I know about Television's long road to landing a recording contract, my guess is that it's a tongue-in-cheek dig at the music industry.  
The band did some demos with Brian Eno, circa December 1974, with the intent of recording on Chris Blackwell's Island Records.  Verlaine liked Eno but was disappointed with the results of the sessions.  So the project was shelved.  But the demos apparently got leaked to other artists at Island in the U.K.  Verlaine has even asserted that the entirety of Roxy Music's Siren was a complete rip of the early demos of Marquee Moon!
Anyway, it was 2 more years before the band finally landed a deal with Elektra Records, and even then, Verlaine wasn't allowed to produce the project on his own.  (He ended up with engineer extraordinaire Andy Johns as a production partner.  So it wasn't all bad.)
So that's why I think "See No Evil" is a bit of snark.  Sort of like: we finally have a contract, the A&R guys are blowing smoke up our various orifices, and no one has any ulterior motives.  Riiiiiiiight...
I don't know.  Just my interpretation.
What I do know is that "See No Evil" is jittery, guitar-driven nirvana, and Verlaine's nasal whine on the word eeeeevillllll! makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.  In a good way.
