You Can Judge A Book By It's Cover - David Essex, Saint Etienne

You can judge a book by it’s cover almost always

You can judge a book by it’s cover almost always

I still remember the day that we met

Just holding hands on the library steps

You quoted Keats and I very near wept

Now my savings all got spent

Then my birthday came and went

And the rent is in arrears

'Cause you spent it all on booze

But I love you, yes I do, almost always

Went back to yours and you paid my train fare

You even offered to give me your spare

First edition of 'Hanover Square'

Oh, if only I could see

What the future held for me

Every night with Sky TV

Every pub in West 14

With the jukebox playing Queen

You can judge a book by the cover almost always

You can judge a love by the lover almost always

You can judge a book by the cover almost always

You can judge a book
