Description

AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT OF THE SONG Evilpublished on the album "Love Anarchy 70", Title no. 6 on side D. This version is prior to publication, the sentence "and you know"The song is shorter and ends differently.

"In your eyes
the lingering evil
Like an idea for a crucifix
In your hands
evil on the move
With an old reddened dream
In your heart
the evil that gets drunk
A few minutes of oblivion
And where you know
le bien qui coule
In the river of night

In your eyes
the evil that loves itself
In a corner where I don't go (am)
In your hands 
your eyes
your hands
your heart
and where you know"

On the back is a printed proof with autograph corrections from the same song. Longer than the manuscript, the sentence "And where you know"is crossed out three times and replaced by "then in the shadows as in the final version.

Handwritten documents by Léo Ferré are very rare.
