PERFECTION - demo (Pete Ham)
[from "Demos Variety Pack" CD - recorded 1970 - released U.S. 2022]

There is no real perfection
There'll be no perfect day
Just love is your connection
Truth in what you say

There's no good revolution
Just power changing hands
There is no straight solution
Except to understand

So listen to my song of life
You don't need a gun or a knife
Successful conversation
Will take you very far

There is no real perfection
There'll be no perfect man
Just peace is your connection
Forgiving all you can

There's no good kind of killing
Just power taking life
It's all good blood that's spilling
To make a bigger knife

So listen to my song of life
You don't need a gun or a knife
Successful conversation
Will take you very far
Successful conversation
Will take you very far

[electric guitar solo]

So listen to my song of life
You don't need a gun or a knife
Successful conversation
Will take you very far
Successful conversation
Will take you very far

[electric guitar solo:
Successful conversation
Ooo, yeah... gotta, gotta...
We gotta let it too far, will take you very far]
