Lyrics
Real One (David Goard)
Creeping creatures are null and void – now the
Real One’s – at home
The Real One is a blessing –
a precious – comfort zone.
Lay, lay – lay on my doormat –
lay at the – Sultan’s feet
Tell me – who needs a stunt cat
The Real One is complete.
Fetch me up - a spinster –
catch me a courtesan
Fan it, fan it - fan it to life –
the dancing – leopard - of Kurdistan
No competition – no inhibition –
no concern - for consequence
Tell me – who needs a stunt cat
No one - with common sense.
She was the kinda girl
that wouldn’t leave ya
She was - the sweetest - one of all.
We knew the Real One
couldn’t de - ceive ya
But then she heard –
the call – of the wild.
Did she see a meerkat – alert –
and - off all fours
Did she see a cheetah – that leapt –
and ran - and roared
Pre-Raphaelite-hermaphrodite –
Ophelia meets Maine Coon
Whatever - creature you are
You’ll be – with them soon.
Real One tensed on the roadside –
she felt her time had come
Real One knew she was -
on the slide – goodbye to – days of fun.
Order me a stunt cat –
that can jump – and purr – and claw
A stand-in that does – everything -
so what was the - Real One for?
Real One recalls -
the days of grey – pants - and bra’s
Even when - she’s in the gutter
Wide-eyed – be-neath the stars.
She was the kinda girl
that wouldn’t leave ya
She was the sweetest one of all.
We knew the Real One
couldn’t de - ceive ya
But then she heard – the call –
of the wild…wild…wild and free.
