I found it in the net, but I think are not complete and/or wrong lyrics. Please, could you correct and complete it? Thanks a lot! Is it real It's not the stage show that I want from you It's not the glitter nor the bright lights too And I want to know from you to right Is it real? You fill any haed with words and clever songs You sing are through you are never wrong And I want to know from you to right Is it real? 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? Do you work and play 1ike normal people do? Do you love completely, let your heart ring true? And if you break your own heart, would you ask Is it real? Is it real? Is it real? |

This is what I hear for the second verse: 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? |

(Bert Jansch) From: Leo Condie You fill any haed with words and clever songs You sing are through you are never wrong And I want to know from you to right Is it real? the first line is "you fill my head with the words from clever songs" and i think the second is "as though" as opposed to "are through" unfortunately i don't have the recording handy but as far as I remember the rest is right. enjoy singing jansch! |

01 Jan 12 - 07:34 PM (#3283137) Subject: Lyr Add: IS IT REAL? (Bert Jansch) From: Jim Dixon 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] |

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 drift along as though you're never wrong, And all I want to know from you tonight: Is it real? BRIDGE: Who on earth do you sit and think you are? Got the right to fill my head with dreams? And melodys ringin' out from your guitar. Don't 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. Have you worked and lived like normal people do? Have you loved completely, let your heart ring true? And if you broke your own heart, would you ask: Is it real? Is it real? (Bert Jansch) So, as an aside, who do we suppose this was directed at? David E. |
