Nomeansno - Real Love lyrics

Real love is scary

You try to hide when it looks for you

You never know what it will do

Not real love

Not real love

Real love is a long stone bed, he said

His face a mask of indifference

And it don't care about me or you

Not real love

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

That's real love

The glory of love

The glory of love

That precious rain

That falls from above

First a gentle murmur

That calls from the heart

And then a great wind

That will blow you apart

That's real love

That's real love

Like a ghost it will pass right through you

A spirit that lives on

When you are through

And 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 you can do about

Real love

Anyway, that's what I heard a crow say

But who cares what a crow say anyway?

Especially about something, something

Something so strictly personal

(Real love)

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it? That wind on your face

You can get down on your knees and pray

But nothing that you do or say

Will make it go away

(Real love)

It's like thunder, like lightning

The way you love me

The way you love me

The way you love me

It's frightening
