The Real Thing single version by Pointed Sticks Lyrics

So casually unclean
She slips into a change, unfolds her magazine
Celluloid and shadow lines so thoughtfully obscene
Body hair's in vogue again
At least he wasn't mean
What's another stain?

Inspect, deflect
Waiting for the real thing
Inspect, neglect
Waiting for the real thing
Reject, reject
Waiting for the real thing
Oh yeah, you bet
She's going for the real thing

Exquisitely unsure
Exchanging attitudes, she takes the package tour
Emotional Quaaludеs so perfectly impure
Shе's got so many moves to try before she's sure
She's getting damaged goods
Inspect, deflect
Waiting for the real thing
Inspect, neglect
Waiting for the real thing
Reject, reject
Waiting for the real thing
Oh yeah, you bet
She's going for the real thing

[Guitar solo]

Mister Tan-And-Lean towering so high above her
Mister PhD tells her that I don't take your blather
Mister European [?]
Mister Stage-And-Screen, someone take your picture

And inspect, deflect
Waiting for the real thing
Inspect, neglect
Waiting for the real thing
Reject, reject
Waiting for the real thing
Oh yeah, you bet
She's going for the real thing
