JUST LOOK INSIDE THE COVER (Pete Ham)
[Iveys demo from "How Much Is The Sky (The Iveys Anthology Vol. 4)" CD - recorded 1968 - released 2024]

You say my hair is getting long
Surely, that ain't bad
You say the way I dress is wrong
That don't mean I'm mad

Just look inside the cover
I'm sure that you'll discover love

You say my life's a waste of time
Man, I disagree
I don't know anything so fine
As the life God gave to me

So I'll just go on living
And all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it, too

[guitar solo]

You say that I should be secure (You say that I should be secure)
That's all very well (That's all very well)
But there's no point in making sure (But there's no point in making sure)
Tomorrow may be hell (Tomorrow may be hell)

So, I'll just go on living
And all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it, too

It's not the colour of the hair (It's not the colour of the hair)
Or the colour of the skin (Colour of the skin)
That tells you if a man is good (That tells you if a man is good)
Or if he's full of sin (If he's full of sin)
(Colour of the skin)
(If he's full of sin)
(The colour of the hair)
(If he's full of sin)
