  Book by the Cover

(CHORUS)
Don't judge a book by its cover
Or hang some theatrical lover ...all out to dry
I'm gunna tell you why

1) Some power gotta push you along
Chew you up till your day is done
Sometimes... it's hard to take
You... feel like a big mistake

Come the night when the day is done
Come the night gunna get me some fun
Some place that I can be myself
Cipher this...to put your mind at rest

(CHORUS)

2) There she is in the spotlight now
By and by she's here at your side
Sometimes...she's easy to take

(CHORUS)

3) Dance to the beat while you are young
This is the pool of so much fun
Sometimes she tastes... like Christmas cake

Come the night when the day is done
Come the night gunna get me some fun
Some place that I can be myself
Cipher this...to put your mind at rest
 
(INST BREAK)
Don't judge a book by its cover! (x4)

Man you got a great voice. Wish I had that range. The strong piano banging out the rythym with the harmony leads over the top is a perfect match.

[Ray Brookes]

Another great song, Darren with excellent production and great vocal from Keith.

[StephenM]

I want to shout out that piano.  You have done the UK piano pop heritage proud imo.  There are so many great piano parts from the UK that were on the radio back in the day.  They almost seemed to be never ending.  There were so many great ones.  Piano and rock or piano and pop go so well together right?  This is a bit different from your normal direction.  That guitar work blisters over the top of that piano.  I think this ups the ante a bit here on SC's.  It's not a competition by any means but it seems that we do push each other toward greater and greater heights.  Obviously we each like differing things in music.  Piano, drums, bass, and guitar, along with great vocals is something I like very much.
I don't know I think you and Keith are up for something like Time Passages or Year of the Cat or something from Elton or McCartney! 
this just gets better and better... 3rd listen back to back.

[Ron D Bowes]

Cool song Darren. 70s pop rock vibe. Flows along smoothly.

[Zoltan]

I wasn't sure what to expect. The songs from these demonic hairpieces have been varied and always interesting. I was feeling slightly under the weather yet this managed to pull me back into the land of the living!

The vocals are great. The arrangement is beautiful. This has an air of 60's pop sensibilities to it and i'm a sucker for sounds like these. The guitar melodies are a real joy. 60s-70s are back again thanks to the merry gents!

I think this song is worth getting possessed for!

[Trist]

Always a pleasure to your songs and collabs Darren, always very inventive musically and songwriting wise this being no exception. catchy track and i liked that solo and catchy ending Thanks for the comments on mine appreciate it,
