Here's how I think I hear it. The bridge doesn't make sense to me grammatically, so I think I must have some words wrong, but I don't know which ones!


IS IT REAL?
As sung by a female voice unknown to me on Bert Jansch's album "Dazzling Stranger" (2000)

1. 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?

2. You fill my head with words and clever songs.
You drifted off as though you're never wrong,
And all I want to know from you tonight:
Is it real?

BRIDGE: Who lets you sit and figure out
Have the right to fill my head with dreams
If not of things ringin' out from your guitar
Did you think that life's not always what it seems?

REPEAT BRIDGE

3. 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?

4. Do you work to live like normal people do?
Do you love completely, let your heart run true?
And if you broke your own heart, would you ask:
Is it real?
Is it real? [REPEAT AND FADE]
