Real Love

NoMeansNo


Real love is scary 
You try to hide when it looks for you 
You never know what it will do 
Not real love 
Real love is a long stone bed he said 
His face a mask of indifference 
And it don't care about 
You or me 
Not real love 
Real love 
On a sunny day is a crow on a telephone pole 
With something to say 
And you feel like someone has just walked on your grave 
That's real love 
The glory of love, the glory of love 
That precious rain that falls from above 
First a gently murmur that calls from the heart 
And then a great wind that will blow you apart 
That's real 
Love like a ghost it will pass through you 
A spirit that lives on when you are through 
And there is nothing that you can do 
There is nothing that you can do 
The wind in the trees 
The smell of wet leaves 
The rumble of a passing truck 
A streak of blood 
Please forgive me for what I've done to you 
And lord forgive me for what I'm going to do 
In the name of real love 
Is scary you try to hide when it looks for you 
You never know what it will do 
And it don't care about me or you 
And there is nothing that you can do about real love anyway 
That's what I heard a crow say 
But who cares what a crow say anyway 
'Specially 'bout, 'specially 'bout 
Something so strictly personal 
Can you feel it, can you feel it 
Like wind on your face 
You can get down on your knees 
And pray but nothing 
You do or say will make it go away 
It's like thunder, lightening 
The way you love me it's frightening
