The Real Thing (Letra)

They say that you don’t
You promised you will
I’m calling my number
To sort out the thrill

Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?

Am I the only one?
Your Lancelot
20 year-old and bored
Run for a better future

Pour lava in the ocean
Drown into the throne that you sit on
Follow, follow, follow me

Holy father and son
It’s odd enough for you to live on
So long, so long Salomé

Tell me that’s what you wanted
Follow, follow me

You’re more than I want
I figured you will
Back in september
We’ll make it a deal

Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
Your Lancelot
20 years often bored
Run for a better future

Pour lava in the ocean
Turn the eternal carousel on
Follow, follow, follow me

Holy father and son
It’s odd enough for you to live on
So long, so long salomé

Tell me that’s what you wanted
Follow, follow me

(l. stansfield/i. devaney)

Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing

No more living in shame
And i’m not gonna run or gonna hide away
No more telling all those lies
It’s been too long

No more living in chains
No, i don’t give a damn whet the people say
There’s no use holding back desire
We’ve burnt our fingers now lets jump into the flames

Chorus:
Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
Never mind the rain and the storm
We’ll keep each other warm
We got something stronger than strong
This is the real thing

Gonna walk out hand in hand
So let them criticise ‘cos they don’t understand
We’ve got nothing to hide
It’s just love

I’ve had enough of shy
So let’s go out and show them what we have inside
There’s no use holding back desire
We’ve burnt our fingers now let’s jump into tho fire

Chorus

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
‘cos i’ve got a feeling that’s higher than high

Oh, what you do to me, baby
Oh, what you do to me, baby

This is the real thing

Chorus

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby

Don’t want your picture in a frame on the table
Don’t want your notes on the wall
Don’t want your voice on the phone machine baby
Don’t want your stuff in the hall

Don’t want your smell on the pillow next to me
No roses at my front door
No dedication on the radio station
No substitutions no more

I just want the real thing that’s how it is
Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
No imitation darling, that’s not my business
I’m talking ‘bout the genuine thing
The real thing

Don’t wanna hear about how much you miss me
And wish you had a little more time
But if you really want to try to convince me
Try with your lips next time

I just want the real thing that’s how it is
Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
No imitation darling, that’s not my business
I’m talking ‘bout the genuine thing
The real thing

In my arms, in the flesh
A little ole fashioned tenderness
No ruby ring, no taj mahal
I just need you and that’s all

I just want the real thing that’s how it is
Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
No imitation darling, that’s not my business
I’m talking ‘bout the genuine thing
The real thing

Amanda, i know what you’re thinking,
You and i have much to say,
And you’ve been making me crazy,
Trying to understand
But it’s impossible at your age.

I know i said i’ll always try,
But you’re going to bed alone again tonight,
And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There’s only one thing,
You can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that’s the real thing you need in love.

You’re so afraid your life is over,
And nothing i can say can change your mind.
How can anybody be so selfish,
And treat you all so cruel,
The woman screamed at me and cried.
I’ll always hold you in my soul,
And i’m never going to leave you all alone
But your daddy doesn’t live here anymore.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There’s only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that’s the real thing you need in love.

Everybody’s got a boat upon the ocean,
Not everybody’s sailing out to sea,
And is there someone there for me?
I’m ready to believe.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There’s only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that’s the real thing you need in love.

I know the feeling
It is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment
That golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
You can’t refuse the embrace…
It’s like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
And you feel like you’re too close
So you swallow another dose
The pinnacle of happiness
Filling up your soul
You don’t think you can take any more
You never wanna let go
To touch the roots of experience
The most basic ingredients
To see the unseen glitter of life
And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
Cherish the certainly of now
It kills you a bit at a time
Cradle the inspiration
It will leave you writhing on the floor…
This is so unreal, what I feel
This nourishment, life is bent
Into a shape I can hold
A twist of fate, all my own
Just grit your teeth, make no sound
Take a step away and look around
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
The whisper is but a shout
That’s what it is all about
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
Like the dream you know one day will come to life
Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
It’s the jewel of victory
The chasm of misery
And once you have bitten the core
You will always know the flavor
The split second of divinity
You drink up the sky
All of heaven is in your arms
You know the reason why
It’s right there, all by itself
And what you are, there is nothing else
You’re growing a life within a life
The lips of wonder kiss you inside
And when it’s over the feeling remains
It all comes down to this
The smoke clears, I see what it is
That made me feel this way…
This is so unreal, what I feel
Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
Pump through your veins, can’t explain
The element that’s everything
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
Like the first time love urged you to take it’s guidance, in silence
Like your heartbeat when you realize you’re dying, but you’re trying
Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending…
I know

They met up in rockport
Where the moon rose early and the days were short
And the miles between were still too many to mention

The blue ridge rides at starfall
Oh, the epic scope of it all
Those days before the double-edged blade of contention

Chorus

Sometimes passion’s like a cigarette
Burning clean out ‘fore it really takes wing
But you always fly high for a little while
When you think you’ve got the real thing

He moved in for the long haul
The ’81 hog, the guitar and all
They got an apartment, a conversation piece

But the big spark dimmed substantial
You know it’s always financials
That give the portrait of happiness its nasty crease

Chorus

Sometimes they’d find common ground
Some days he’d run to where he couldn’t be found
A ride in the pines can truly inspire
The need for a soul to come clean from a waning desire

He laid there deciding
What side of a man should come out of hiding
While she laid there, the key to his conventions

She had brought some changes
But how could he pretend with all these empty pages
And the miles to go, still too many to mention

Chorus

Do you think you got the real thing

A mongoose can smile at a cobra

But that cobra will always be a snake

Diamante can shine like a diamond

But you know, like i know

That rock will be fake

It’s the real thing

The real thing

Nothing but the real thing

It’s real

You can xerox the mona lisa

Deadpan da vinci in every detail

Might beat customs on a home-made visa

But false papers

Only gets you in jail

It’s the real thing

The real thing

Nothing but the real thing

It’s real

Life wears a smile on its face

But it comes with a sting in its tail

Make believe fables have their place

But only a fool. only a fool

Believes fairy tales

I heard all the lies that they tell ya

‘phone me baby. the cheque’s in the mail’

Well as fantasy. it may please ya

As the real thing

It does nothing but fail

It’s the real thing

The real thing

Nothing but the real thing

It’s real

It’s the real thing

The real thing

Nothing but the real thing

R: it’s the real thing that makes your body swing
Open your ears for the techno rap sing
Back on the track, no my name ain’t jack
You try to criticize, so now step back
I travelled the world all round and round
Make a lot of heads go upside down
If it ain’t rough, no, it ain’t no thing
Just let yourself go cause you’re rolling with the real thing

A: we’re going for the real thing

R: i select the thoughts and need from people’s minds
Combine it with my own style, i ain’t blind
One of a kind make sure i’ll find
A way to gain and win cause it’s the real thing
The music flows, i lay these rhymes
Time for some action, cause it’s about time
Pay close attention, are you out, are you in?
‘cause if you roll, you’re rolling with the real thing
