THE HUMAN LEAGUE - LYRICS

MIRROR MAN

(Oakey/Callis/Burden)

“It is actually about Adam Ant. It’s not anti Adam Ant and we didn’t want to offend him,

but he was having to respond to his public more than was good for him.”

Oakey, Tracks Magazine 1989

ALBUM VERSION:

The water shines
A pebble skips across the face
A dozen times

Then disappears
Not a trace

Left behind
The thrower turns and walks away
A change of mind
Another start a brand new day
You know I`ll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
Here comes the mirror man
Says he’s a people fan
Here comes the mirror man
And if it seems

I’m not the one you used to know
Our little friendship

Left behind not long ago
Don’t feel too hurt
As distance heals the strongest pain
Things are much better now
And just a nagging doubt remains
You know I`ll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
Here comes the mirror man
Says he’s a people fan
Here comes the mirror man
Here comes the mirror man
Says he’s a people fan
Here comes the mirror man

DEMO LYRICS:

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

The water shines
A pebble skips across the face
A dozen times

Then disappears
Not a trace

Left behind
The thrower turns and walks away
A change of mind
Another start a brand new day
You know I`ll change
If change is what you require
I’ll be your wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

And if it seems

I’m not the one you used to know
Our little friendship

left behind not long ago
Don’t feel too hurt
As distance heals the strongest pain
Things are much better now
And just a nagging doubt remains
You know I`ll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night

I can’t get to sleep at night
