APPEARANCES
Music & Lyrics by James Webb
© 2011 Son Of Jack WAM

V1
You must walk behind her,
Rachel knows what people think,
And she is so much younger.
She’ll meet you for breakfast,
When her man’s not awake yet.
You’re all strung out on caffeine,
While Rachel hedges her bets.
Making her man jealous,
But not enough to leave her.
Appearances.

V2
Says she likes a scoundrel,
So you do your best to earn it.
As soon as people notice,
She’ll just treat you like a bastard.
But safe behind the curtains,
As if today her world might end
She’ll take you every way she can,
Then make it clear you’re just a friend.
She shows you her emptiness,
But the deal is you don’t notice.
Appearances.

CHORUS
Keeping up appearances,
Works so hard.
She says never let them see who you are,
1) Like in the school yard. 2) Been that way since the school yard.
Who she is and what she seems,
The life she makes,
She takes from dreams.

V3
He walks beside her,
Now she is so much older.
Wears her like a trophy,
Cause he is so much younger.
Her man left her years ago,
Truth fell out through the lying.
One more tale to spin and weave,
While gossips keep on buying.
Rachel knows how people think,
So she’ll give them something bolder.
Appearances.
