Lyrics

REAL STUFF

I?M GETTING HYPNOTIZED BY THIS FILM ON THE BIG SCREEN
THAT?S SHOWING EVERYTHING FROM ADAM TO JAMES DEAN
AND MY EYES GET ALL TRANSFIXED ON DEBUTANTES AND HICKS
WHILE THE REAL WORLD IS BREATHING THE SACRED AND OBSCENE

BUT THERE?S THIS GROOVY LITTLE GIRL OVER HERE
SHE?S NOT A FANTASY, CATASTROPHE OR A TALE WHERE THE HERO GETS GLORY
OR THE CELEBRATORY FAREWELL
OR A PRISON CELL

ALL THE THINGS I?VE EVER DREAMED OF
THE ONE I CRAVE IS A MIGHTY BIG LOVE
A MIGHTY, MIGHTY BIG LOVE
THE REAL STUFF

I?M GETTING PACIFIED BY STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT
AND DRINKING JACK AND COKES AND GETTING INTO FIGHTS
AND THE CONVERSATIONS WANE FROM THE DEEP TO THE INANE
WHEN THE SUN COMES PEEKING UP I FEEL LIKE I?M INSANE

BUT THERE?S THIS FUNKY LITTLE GIRL OVER HERE
SHE?S NOT A HOEDOWN, A SHOWDOWN
A GAME OF GRAB-ASS TO SEE WHO CAN GET LOW DOWN BUSTED
I?M FEELING DUSTED

ALL THE THINGS I?VE EVER DREAMED OF
THE ONE I CRAVE IS A MIGHTY BIG LOVE
A MIGHTY, MIGHTY BIG LOVE
THE REAL STUFF
