2. Born in London, Harry spent her early life living in Singapore and New York as well as in the UK, and was raised under strict conservative family values – a vicar grandfather and mother in charge of a local Sunday school. At a young age she turned her back on this strict background and alongside Madonna, Harry connected with singers like Patti Smith and Janis Joplin – great influences in both her youth and musical stylings.
As she grew up, Harry became more and more involved in the London music scene, throwing herself into the social scene at early age. She first experienced the London nightlife at 14 – frequenting the club circuit and London fetish clubs Torture Garden and Slimelight in particular – earning her ‘Dirty’ tag along the way and building a reputation for herself on the underground music scene before launching a music career of her own.
She appeared on Tommy Lee's album Tommyland: The Ride in the track Makin Me Crazy. She also sang vocals on Cradle of Filth's song Temptation, from the album Thornography, which is a cover of the Heaven 17 song.

So Real
Dirty Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who hasnt even been born
It's like someone who has everything
And yet feels nothing
It's like not knowing where you stand
When your laying down on the floor
It's like being unfaithful to someone you just don't
You just don't have faith in
Would you?
Would you?
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
It's knowing what's in your hand
But having no arm
It's dealing with dices you know
Someone else should be dealing
It's making a living on
The lives you are stealing
And having control
On the things you are
The things you are are
Feeling
Would you come round for T if I gave you your Q,
Would you?
Would you?
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
Wouldn't it be so nice to feel something so real you wouldn't have to live at all
In "So Real," Dirty Harry sings about the paradoxical nature of existence, and how it can feel like one is both alive and dead at the same time. The lyrics describe a feeling of disconnection from oneself and the world, a sense of numbness and emptiness. The lines "It's like someone who is dead who hasn't/Who hasn't even been born" convey the idea that living in such a state is like being neither dead nor alive.
The song continues to explore this theme, with the line "It's like not knowing where you stand/When you're laying down on the floor," suggesting that even when you're at your lowest, there's still a sense of confusion and disorientation. Additionally, the lyrics describe feelings of guilt and remorse, as Dirty Harry sings "It's like being unfaithful to someone you just don't/You just don't have faith in."
Overall, "So Real" is a haunting and introspective song that explores complex emotions and experiences that are difficult to put into words. The title itself is ironic, as the song suggests that feeling something that's truly "real" might be so intense that it's almost unbearable, to the point where you "wouldn't have to live at all."

Sad thing is the album version wasn't the same as this :( this is excellent.
moonsystem666
I agree .This version is way better......

James Stanger So true. I like putting my headphones on, blending the volume with my guitar amplifier, and jam. I saw Harry live in the UK, C. 2003, at the Camden Barfly. She rocked the place that night.

@iangraham6730 thanks for reminding me this exists. Haven't listened to it for years
CHRISTOS FRAGIAS
Had the pleasure of seeing Harry live in London around the time this single came out. Rocking performance. In one song, she sampled Salt n Pepa's Push It. Sounded wild. Glad I bought the single too.
