AIN'T THAT PECULIAR (Mike Gibbins)
[Mike Gibbins demo from "How Much Is The Sky (The Iveys Anthology Vol. 4)" CD - recorded 1968 - released 2024]

Ain't that peculiar
Life and everything
The day, it turns to night

Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar watching people fight
Don't know wrong from right

Don't it go through you
Knowing that you don't last long
Long enough to see what the future will show

Must be a reason
Our life and everything
Gave us the sun and moon

Must be a reason
There must be a reason for all its strife
Something must have give us life

Knowing if it's gonna last or pass you by

You wonder what it's all about
But you can't know it all
'Cos you ain't got time
You're only here so long
That's the way it's always been

You try your best to understand
What makes the world
Go 'round and 'round
You look for a reason
Why you should be here at all

Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar we're here at all
Living on and on, la la la la la la
