lyrics

"Reality?"
as performed by Leopard Zeppard


yes, stay in touch with reality, won't you?
'cos if you stay in touch its easier to touch the ones around you.
yes, stay in touch with reality, won't you?
'cos if you stay in touch you can touch the ones around you.

fantasy's all very well when your lost out in the woods
the things you say the things you do only making sense to you
but don't loose touch with reality, will you?

it's true you must love and trust your imagination
the tool that bends and shapes your creation
the tool that is no tool, that boundless nation
go on head first chasing your dreamy horizons!

but believe in the love you have alway felt
even when love seems to pelt you in the head
not in the guts or through the eyes reaching out to touch it feels like miles...

whoops! here come the ridges of pain and the slough of cynicism
but don't be too hard on yourself your only human.
and out of field scathing judgement and 'constructive' criticism
but remember you're tired and probably coffee wired
and they're not out to get you!

but believe in the love you have always felt
even when love seems to pelt you 'round the head
not in the guts or through the eyes reaching out to touch it feels like miles...

now reality is hard to define, its in the mind most of the time,
but its an illusion we share and its everywhere
so stay in touch and reach out and touch

(and here some advice:)

be with it and move it,
laugh with it, play hard with it
be soft all the time and vulnerable,
let it show and let them know that the times
we're together are as precious as the sunrise in the morning
and every morning be in wonder
at all you have and all you do
'cos its all you have and
its never quite as good or quite as bad as it could be
believe me

and where ever you go well thats your home
and the stars above you mean you're never alone
and the lines of time are a book of wisdom you have to take with you
but don't loose touch with reality
breathe into your body
feel the earth 'neath your feet and the air on your face
and the time and the place will be one and the same with you
you, you ,you , you....

(oh! go on then!)

about

leopard zeppard Tennessee

lofi b4 lofi "tender wonder" (1997) recorded on tascam eight track reflected a unique voice in acoustic pop.

two decades later "kinda thingy" collected versions of queer festival favorites such as "12cup espresso maker" and "carolanne woke up today (and she didn't want to go to work)"

heartfelt, intelligent, witty - step into the wonderful slightly off key world of leopard zeppard.
