Too Real - The Levellers

Here she comes, the great leveler

King and serfs bow before her

If you feel her eyes on you, run

She’ll come and put her arms around you

You lie and say, she hasn’t found you

You’ll run to her she’s there to greet you

Are you lost to us forever

Tied in lust strapped in leather

Is the cost way beyond you

Do you love her more than you love yourself

Is it just too real

Cold clear for you to feel

Is it just too real

Cold clear for you to feel

Am I far in the distance

Am I the cure or a symptom

Should I go when you tell me to

Can you tell I’ve never loved her

Because my life is for another

Who’s up and down, but will take me there

I don’t claim to understand her

But hand in hand I am with her

Bright and clear and with a future

You can come and join us if you dare

Is it just too real

Is it just too real

Too cold too clear for you to feel

Is it just too real

Is it just too real

Too cold too clear for you to feel

I sing — But you can’t speak

I laugh — But you can’t smile

L love — But you lie low

You’ve got to let her go …

I look — Then you don’t see

I talk — Then you don’t hear

I walk then you will crawl low

You’ve got to let her go

Is it just too real

Is it just too real

Too cold too clear for you to feel

Is it just too real

Is it just too real

Too cold too clear too real
