about

The classic tale of Snow White and the evil queen, with hints of Elton John and Tori Amos. The echoed screams at the beginning of this rollicking New Romantic-style track underline the connection between excessive narcissism and self-flagellation.

lyrics

MIRROR MIRROR
1. Your Majesty seems to be displeased/ Did the toast fall butter-side down/ With a glare with a frown/ You sweep past that damned looking-glass
Ch.1: Mirror mirror on the wall/ Who is the fairest of them all/ She used to be beautiful/ knows that she is no more/
Someone’s walked off with her crown
2. Your Majesty could you be deceived/ Paper over cracks in your soul/
With plaster and trowel/ A thousand and one nights are gone
Ch.2: Mirror mirror on the wall/ Who is the fairest of them all/ Split personality/ see what you want to see/ Are you Snow White or the evil queen (Your Majesty)/ Mirror mirror on the wall/ Paper over cracks in your soul/ Split personality/ see what you want to see/ Are you Snow White or the evil queen
Mid. 8: Reflection wasn’t good enough/ Apologize or sympathize/ does none of those/ Wasn’t good enough for you
3. Your Majesty how are we to please/ You’re shattered you are broken tell us why/ You tremble and sigh/ Your head in your hands as you cry
Ch.3: Mirror mirror on the wall/ Who is the fairest of them all/ It lies to nobody not even to a queen/ won’t give her the answer she wants/
With a glare with a frown/ She sweeps past that damned looking-glass/ Someone’s walked off with her crown/ She crosses the hall/ The staircase she throws herself down
