This song, “Back In The Real World “, started off completely different from the finished version thanks to Dain who pointed out the weakness in the music of the first version. Then we went into the studio, and, with the help of Carl, we sped it up from the demo to give it some life! In case you missed it, the song may be heard here.

Back In The Real World
(Orton, Bedford-Pugh)

Had My head so high in the clouds and was,
Looking for an easy way out.
Then I realized what the truth was,
And now I know I needed to shout,
I’m back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. I found out.

Nobody ever really told me,
The facts were all there, I have no doubt.
Finally, the light came on so brightly,
Had to do a turnabout,
Now I’m back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. Oh, yeah

I couldn’t see that my ego had me.
I was so blind, now I find…

I thought I was so enlightened,
Everybody else had no clue.
Suddenly I learned I was average,
That’s what a wakeup call can do,
Now I’m back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. I Found out.

I couldn’t see that my ego had me.
I was so blind, now I find…

I thought I was something so special,
Maybe I was in certain ways.
Didn’t make me better than others,
I guess I was going through a phase,
Now I’m back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
‘Cos I found out. Yeah, I found out.
