Real Life Lyrics - Real Life - Simple Minds

Paula came from Washington with long golden hair 

Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear 

Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green 

Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams 

Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park 

Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark 

Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand 

He said listen babe we gotta take what's ours do it or die 

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

Real life's the only life what's it all about 

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

Way out on the dock that night the colour is red 

23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath 

Outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean 

Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

Real life's the only life what's it all about 

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

All my love, you're my all 

They way you move, you're in control 

The way you talk, the way you dress 

Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress. 

All my love, you're the best, 

Every little thing that I possess, 

It's all emotion when you take control, 

I can feel wild horses running in my soul. 

Oh my love, all I see 

The stars, the sun, the energy, 

If this going to kill us then let it go, 

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream, 

Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.

Quit dreaming this is real life baby 

Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby 

Real life's the only life what's it all about 

Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby 

Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth, 

It's a sweet life baby 

All my love, you're my all 

The way you move, the way you go 

I'm all emotion when you take control 

I can feel wild horses running in my soul. 

All my love, you're all I see 

The stars, the sun, the energy, 

The way you move, you're in control 

Quit dreaming this is real life baby
