lyrics

Oh mirror, mirror
What’s your problem?
Those eyes which follow me around
It’s been ’09 for 69 hours
But I can’t contemplate the ground
Here in the debris of the buffet
You’ll find the rubble of a heart
Part is buried on Dog Island
And another’s in a bin in Dartmouth Park
Don’t go there in the dark

Cos you might just find something inside
A handwritten note passed on in the night

Don’t hide away, hideaway
From the world up here
Don’t h-h-hide away
Hideaway, don’t you hide away
Oh, no!
Don’t hide away, hideaway
From your friends out there
Don’t… Don’t hide away
Hideaway, don’t you hide away
Yeah!

I read you have to look into the mirror
To see what kind of man you really are
Well, that’s OK for jocks and boxers
But mine cracked right across and fell apart
So mirror, mirror
What’s the answer?
I’ve got a tenner riding on Option D
You can take the boy from Sutton
But he’ll never leave a bedroom in North Cheam
D’you know what I mean?

Reload and refresh compulsively
With half a percent believing you’ll see

Don’t hide away, hideaway
From the world up here
Don’t h-h-hide away
Hideaway, don’t you hide away
Oh, no!
Don’t hide away, hideaway
From your friends out there
Don’t… Don’t hide away
Hideaway, don’t h-hide away
Yeah
Hideaway, don’t hide away…

But when I took a hammer to the mirror
A thousand pieces lodged inside my heart

Their new album SPITFIRE is out now. ... more
