Bert Jansch Is It Real
It's not the stage show that I want from you
It's not the glitter nor the bright lights too
All I want to know from you tonight
Is it real?
You fill my head with words and clever songs
You drift along as though you're never wrong
And all I want to know from you tonight
Is it real?
Who on earth do you sit and think you are?
Got the right to fill my head with dreams?
And melody's ringin' out from your guitar
Don't you think that life's not always what it seems?
Who on earth do you sit and think you are?
Got the right to fill my head with dreams?
And melody's ringin' out from your guitar
Don't you think that life's not always what it seems?
You live as though life were a Pinter play
With a happy ending you can explain away
But all I want to know from you tonight
Is it real?
Have you worked and lived like normal people do?
Have you lovеd completely, let your hеart ring true?
And if you broke your own heart, would you ask
Is it real?
Is it real?
