Mirror Star

He was a lonely boy, no good at sports He couldn't run, his legs were short He walked the streets inside his head And spent a lot of time in bed He practiced on his way to school His friends all said, you're off the wall He played a tight elastic band His mic was just his empty hand (CHORUS) Mirror, mirror, mirror star He posed in front of every car They all called him crazy kid He ran up to his room and hid He greased his hair with Vaseline And practiced looking really mean He saw a face that's going far He posed right there with his guitar Head's in the clouds on school reports He's always lost in other thoughts Made no difference, shut them out He'd be a star someday, no doubt (CHORUS) Mirror, mirror on the wall You never treat him like a fool Here in his room, he is the king The wild applause is deafening You see his face on every wall From Camden Town to Liverpool He lays a groupie when he's down And rents the best hotel in town The kids hang round to see his face And wish that they were in his place Reflections paid, the mirror made 'Cause posing's helped him make the grade (CHORUS) Mirror, mirror on the wall You never treat him like a fool Here in his room, he is the king The wild applause is deafening Mirror, mirror, mirror star Mirror star Mirror, mirror star Mirror, mirror, mirror star Mirror, mirror star Mirror, mirror
