She Was Real
It was cold, and it was dar-ark, when I stopped my Yamaha-a When I looked down at my road map, I thought I'd gone too far-ar It was one of those Autumn nights, pitch black, with a mist in the air-air When you can't see anything close up, but you know there's someone there-ere So I pulled out my flashlight, and I shone it in the ni-ight I heard a voice calling softly, and I caught her in the li-ight She was all dressed in jeans and leathers, she looked lost and afrai-aid And she whispered, can you help me, I must have lost my way And she was real, my heart did a somersault, she was real, she came near I said hey-ey, you gave me quite a turn, just what the hell are you doin' out here-ere? She was real, she said, I don't remember, she was real, she looked at me-ee So I said, where do you want to go? She said, I live by the sea-ea And she was real, I swear she was real Ooh, well, I ain't no Greek statue, but she was somethin' to be see-een She had this long dark hair, eyes like a cat, she was no more than ninetee-een You see, I didn't think it right to a-ask, just why she was was all alo-one I just took it to be boyfriend trouble, so I said, I'll take you ho-ome She was real, she gave me her address, or else I wouldn't be here-ere She was real, she climbed up on the back of my bike, and she showed no fear-ear She was real, soft, she put her arms around me, she was real, she held on tight And she was real when we shouted our conversation, as we thundered through the night Faster, she was real, I swear she was real...

And the cops came, and found nothin' It was sunrise, when they got there, nine a.m. when the searchin' broke I guess it must have been the look on my face, that told 'em it weren't no joke So I gave them Suzy's address, and they took me 'round there in the car-ar I just wanted to go with them, I couldn't face my Yamaha And Suzy's mother answered, she had Suzy's hair-air and Suzy's eye-eyes And when I told her what had happened, she just broke down and she cri-ied And she told me I was cruel and heartless, to tease an old lady so And she told me, Suzy died on that roundabout, twelve years ago But she was real, there's a photo on the fireplace, dated nineteen-sixty-fi-ive But she was real, she was on the back of my bike, she was soft, she was ali-ive I swear she was real, I ain't goin' crazy-y, I touched her and she touched me So I guess I'll get on back to that roundabout, she's waitin' there-ere for me-ee She's waitin', She's real, I swear she is real She was real, she was real, I ain't crazy She was real, she was real, I ain't crazy...
