Beauty is skin deep, ugly goes all the way to the bone.

The core members of the band that is Watson (Gary Pinkstaff, Bobby Rock and Watson Davis) first played together after a meeting at a high school talent show. They became fast friends, playing in several bands together and in various combinations until the early '80s. This CD, Psychics Are Standing By, brings them back together in 1999 and proves that once you've got chemistry, mathematics and biology really aren't so bad. The key to this CD is the songs; songs that combine message with wit. In this CD, Watson tries to merge extraordinary music with socially conscious lyrics in an attempt to answer the age old question: can great musicians write songs that don't suck?

Story behind the song
There was a challenge on RMMS to cover a song written by someone else on the group. This is my entry.
Lyrics
If you haven't got any of that skin deep beauty, you know you need a real thick skin Appearances can be deceptive but they are what the eye takes in If you have good looks go on and flaunt them, it's quite OK for you to steal the show But don't try to pretend it's not a privilege be-cause Ugly people know People often have to go on an impression first 'cause an impression's sometimes all they get Nobody spends good money on looking bad, at least I never heard it yet And if what you can't see is what matters why do people work so hard on what they show Just how much what's inside is the thing that counts - well Ugly people know UPK... they have it so much harder whatever anyone may say UPK... there'll be no love at first sight with someone looking the other way UPK... and they learned their lessons a long long time ago even though there are far more lessons of life that Ugly people Know You can't judge a book by its content till you've opened up the cover outside And you can't see a person's sensitive soul until after the tears are cried You can try to suppress your instinct, but the process can be hard and slow Just how much you can be swayed by a good looking face well Ugly people know UPK... they have it so much harder whatever anyone may say UPK... there'll be no love at first sight with someone looking the other way UPK... and they learned their lessons a long long time ago even though there are far more lessons of life that Ugly people Know
