that's not real to me

bullshit dinners and the free champagne,
men in suits who think they know it all
no one knows me but they know my name
that's not real to me

hotel lobby to the aeroplane
another country but they start to look the same
watch the world behind a window pane,
that's not real to me

when i see my babies run
when all the madness has been and gone,
i'll raise my family and live in peace
now that's what's real to me,
real to me

dying flowers in the dressing room
a dangerous time to let your head make up its own mind
got me thinking that the spirit's flown
that's not real to me

when i see my babies run
when all the madness has been and gone,
i'll raise my family and live in peace
now that's what's real to me

picnics in the garden
and the children, they can play
the first day of the summer
and i laze here all the day
then we'll invite the family round
and drink some english tea
then i raise up my finger and
watch football on tv

yeah, that's what's real to me

when i see my babies run
when the madness has been and gone
i'll raise my family and live in peace
now that's what's real to me
real to me

wake up you might be dreaming,
wake up you might be dreaming now

so true. a testament that fame is not always an easy ride.
