As the lyrics of Real Life are strictly related to movies and the song was released a whole year before Crush, I don't think there would have been any sense at all to include it on the album.
I don't think the lyrics had anything to do with it not making Crush. You have a point with the time period though. I think it's funny that there's a clip from an interview from that era where Jon says he wrote the song for the movie, which in no way can be true. Oh well. I still really dig the song, dislike the box set version and love the orchestra outro. I'd love to combine the two versions but for some reason one of them is half a step lower. Or half a step higher in key. I wish I knew why.
