Real Life Woman
Neil Finn

No I’ll never understand
The criminal mind
It’s a nice soundtrack
For a late night
Narrative not so critical
My own thoughts are difficult
I’m so tired
And there’s nobody else to call

And I’ll never understand
Why you put up that wall
A woman so gifted and intelligent
You don’t like the way I’m telling it
From a distance
And I could feel your power
When we were singing lines together

Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking ‘bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption

You’re not dressing for a man
In your elegant gown
Still an incurable romantic
Under the lights
Like a bird in flight
Every single night
You bring everyone together

Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking ‘bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption

Someone hiding put that image in your mind
In the shape of a real life
Leave him locked inside
Keep him out of sight
Never take a chance
A love to waste them all
Giant creatures wait
On the beaches of the nile
It must be good for someone, yeah
