COMMENTS
The title is Spanish, it means "the devil in the eye". It is derived from the title of a novel by Mexican writer Jesus Gardea, one of Dickon's favourite writers. The mumbled words in spanish are allegedly a paragraph taken from this book, but we haven't found the book yet to be sure. Maybe there's a native speaker who wants to try and find out what it means?

LYRICS  

I wouldn't shut your eyes just yet
I wouldn't turn the lights down yet
'Cos there's things you've gotta see here
There's things you've gotta believe of me

I wouldn't turn the sound down yet
Don't even touch the dials, not yet
'Cos there's things you've gotta hear here
There's things you've gotta believe of me

I wouldn't say a word just yet
Don't even open your mouth, not yet
'Cos there's things I've gotta say here
There's things you wanna hear from me
