[Verse 1] 
I met up with my good friend Bob today
Told him 'bout the men who walk away
Said I'm searching for that shining knight
But all I find are shadows in the night

[Chorus] 
Oh, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
Chasing dreams that always let me fall
While the one who holds the light
Stands unnoticed to my right
Oh, mirror on the wall, I just can't see at all

[Verse 2] 
Bob just smiles and buys another round
Listens close when no one else is around
He's the rock that I lean on
But not the one I'm dreaming of

[Chorus] 
Oh, mirror on the wall, am I blind or standing tall?
Reaching out for stars that burn and fall
Ignoring hearts that beat so near
Whispering words I refuse to hear
Oh, mirror on the wall, why can't I see at all?

[Verse 3] 
I told Bob about that actor on the screen
Tall and strong, the man of my dreams
He just nodded with a knowing grin
Said, "Sometimes love is closer than it seems"

[Chorus] 
Oh, mirror on the wall, is it me who built this wall?
Running circles in a endless hall
The better deal I try to find
Leaves the best behind
Oh, mirror on the wall, I'm starting to see it all

[Verse 4] 
Bob looked at me with hopeful eyes
Said, "I've loved you for all this time"
But I laughed it off, couldn't read the signs
Now I'm alone, and the fault is mine

[Outro] 
Oh, mirror on the wall, now I see beyond it all
The love I chased was just a curtain call
Turning 'round, I found my way
Into the arms I pushed away
Oh, mirror on the wall, we're dancing after all

Mirror On The Wall

[Verse 1]
Do you remember when you walked with me
By the Common, spring just touchin' the air?
How the chestnut blooms fell soft and free
Landed white stars tangled up in your hair
You smiled like maybe you belonged right there
Said Ealing felt like home, beyond compare
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Verse 2]
Do you remember when you walked with me
How your eyes just caught mine, held me quite still?
Felt like fate had spun us carelessly
Onto paths that crossed against my own will
I was settled years, stood on my own hill
Then you came along, a sudden bright thrill
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Chorus]
Oh, the springtime youth against my fading sun
A fire lit, a race I couldn't run
I turned my back on all that I'd begun
Just to walk with you, my lovely one
Now the path goes on, but mine's alone, undone
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Verse 3]
Do you remember when you walked with me
Past the glowing shops, reflections in the glass?
Showed you places I thought you should see
Felt the future stretchin' out before us
But your stride grew quick, too keen to pass
The quiet world I offered, built to last
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Verse 4]
Do you remember when you walked with me
How you swore that I was everything you need?
Whispered plans beneath the willow tree
Planted promises just like a scatter seed
Now ambition's grown, a different creed
And the roots you laid have long since run to weed
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Chorus]
Oh, the springtime youth against my fading sun
A fire lit, a race I couldn't run
I turned my back on all that I'd begun
Just to walk with you, my lovely one
Now the path goes on, but mine's alone, undone
Do you remember when you walked with me?

[Bridge]
This town moves on, the seasons turn the page
The leaves fall gold on that same empty stage
Where we once stood. I'm caught inside this cage
Of memory, just prayin' time might assuage
This hollow ache, this quiet, helpless rage.

[Outro]
Do you remember when you walked with me?

The silence answers now, won't talk to me...


Do You Remember When You Walked With Me

[Verse 1]
I'm up and heads are turning now
Whispers in the hallways and a different kind of vow
Fit physique and a confident sway
Every day's another reason I chose my own way

[Refrain]
I thank my vivid dreams, escaped that narrow phase
Oh, this new freedom, it's been good these days
Might not make them proud, it's gonna start a scene
They see this fierce new girl, I know they're gonna scheme

[Pre-Chorus]
"Girl, what have you done?
You're a whole different girl, and you're showing too much," oh darling
I'm just owning it
On this stage of my life, it's where I fit, down at the

[Chorus]
Body Electric Club, I'm gonna keep on shining at the
Body Electric Club, I'm gonna keep on moving down in
My own spotlight, I'm gonna keep on vibing at the
Body Electric Club, Body Electric Club
"That's right!"

[Bridge]
Don't think I've forgotten all the pain
Still feel those old whispers, like a haunting refrain
And haters, every single day
I can hear your judgments from a million miles away, saying

[Pre-Chorus]
"Girl, what have you done?
You're a whole different girl, and you're showing too much," oh darling
I'm just owning it!
On this stage of my life, it's where I fit, down at the

[Chorus]
Body Electric Club, I'm gonna keep on shining at the (Yeah, I'm shining!)
Body Electric Club, I'm gonna keep on moving down in (Keep on moving!)
My own spotlight, I'm gonna keep on vibing at the (In my spotlight!)
Body Electric Club, Body Electric Club
"Shine on," "Be free," "My body"

[Bridge]
I'm gonna keep on shining...
I'm gonna keep on being free...
Yeah.

[Verse 2]
I know they wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore these brand new visions of me my own way
And I found that there's a different space
Where my body and my soul can finally shine every day

[Outro]
I'm having vivid dreams of breaking out this cage
Feel my own power, it's a brand new age
Might not make them proud, it's gonna start a scene
They see this fierce new girl, I know they're gonna scheme

Body Electric Club

[Refrain]
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
My pie and mash, yeah, that's my tribe
They say we're worlds too far apart
But babe, you've gone and nicked my heart
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
'Cause, man, you're not like the local guys
Baby, just ignore their stares
When you are there.

[Verse 1]
My girl gotta go, to her council block
Blows a kiss to me, 'round the bleeding clock
Lying in her bed, suddenly feels rough
Roll out, get some air, had more than enough
A quick walk through her estate, so grey
Turns to a soundclash, with the tunes we play
Nick her brother's scooter, feeling kinda flash
Ride it through the market, nearly 'ave a crash, what a dash!

[Pre-Refrain]
He's my flavour, makes me grin
From a place I've never been
Barely notice that he's "new 'ere"
Makes my boring world feel clear
He's my flavour, makes me grin
From a place I've never been
Barely notice that he's "new 'ere"
Makes my boring world feel clear

[Refrain]
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
My pie and mash, yeah, that's my tribe
They say we're worlds too far apart
But babe, you've gone and nicked my heart
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
'Cause, man, you're not like the local guys
Baby, just ignore their stares
When you are there.

[Verse 2]
My girl likes my stories, from my ends (Hah, hah)
Says my lingo's "bare" cool, a different blend (Hah, hah)
Now I'm chilling in her Nan's old front room
Everything's a bit worn, but it beats the gloom (Yeah)
Her Nan's old photos, on the window sill
And they show a mad life, when the world stood still
The old dear next door peeks out
And I do everything her mum says "don't you dare!" no doubt, yeah!

[Pre-Refrain]
He's my flavour, makes me grin
From a place I've never been
Barely notice that he's "new 'ere"
Makes my boring world feel clear
He's my flavour, makes me grin
From a place I've never been
Barely notice that he's "new 'ere"
Makes my boring world feel clear

[Refrain]
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
My pie and mash, yeah, that's my tribe
They say we're worlds too far apart
But babe, you've gone and nicked my heart
Your spicy wrap, that's your vibe
'Cause, man, you're not like the local guys
Baby, just ignore their stares
When you are there.

Spicy Wrap

[Chorus x2]
Yo, I'm fiendin' for your vibe
Got me trippin', can't hold back
Yeah, you know you got that somethin' special, babe
And I'm hooked on you, yeah, every single day, for real!

[Verse 1]
Your tan lines got me hypnotized
That porn star hair, such a sweet surprise
High heels or Converse, girl, you always slay
Don’t mind smile lines, or your Botox face (for real!)

[Pre-Chorus]
You look good in tight jeans, makin' all the heads turn 'round
Or twirlin' in short frocks, best damn sight in this whole town (no doubt!)
The bigger the better, yeah, that's the truth I gotta spill
Uh-huh, for your sweet jelly, I'd probably kill

[Chorus x2]
Yo, I'm fiendin' for your vibe
Got me trippin', can't hold back
Yeah, you know you got that somethin' special, babe
And I'm hooked on you, yeah, every single day, for real!

[Verse 2]
Your energy's electric, buzzin' like a live wire
Every single look from you just takes my soul up higher
No frontin', baby, you set my heart on fire
This ain't no game, you're my number one desire (that's right!)

[Pre-Chorus]
From your perfect smile to the way you walk that walk, yeah
Every little thing 'bout you, it makes me wanna talk, yeah (uh-huh!)
This attraction's magnetic, can't leave you alone, boo
Damn, I love your tan lines, everything you do!

[Chorus x2]
Yo, I'm fiendin' for your vibe
Got me trippin', can't hold back
Yeah, you know you got that somethin' special, babe
And I'm hooked on you, yeah, every single day, for real!

[Outro]
Your jelly!
Your jelly!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, got me hooked on you!

Sweet Jelly

[Chorus]
For real
You really make my poor brain shut down
When you hit me with those angel eyes
I'm shook
I ain't never been this stupid high
Just trippin' on your angel eyes
Those angel eyes

[Verse 2]
I forget the words I'm tryna say
My whole vocabulary goes away
Heard you got a venerable soul
You make me lose all my self-control
With those angel eyes

[Chorus]
For real (For real!)
You really make my poor brain shut down
When you hit me with those angel eyes (Those angel eyes!)
I'm shook (I'm shook!)
I ain't never been this stupid high
Just trippin' on your angel eyes
Those angel eyes

[Bridge]
(seye legna esohT)
(seye legna ruoy no 'nippirt tsuJ)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh (hgih diputs siht neeb reven t'nia I)
(koohs m'I) Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh (seye legna esoht htiw em tih uoy nehW)
Mmm (nwod tuhs niarb roop ym ekam yllaer uoY)
Mmm (laer roF)

[Chorus]
For real!
You really make my poor brain shut down
When you hit me with those angel eyes
I'm shook!
I ain't never been this stupid high
Just trippin' on your angel eyes
Those angel eyes

Angel Eyes

[Chorus]
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits

[Verse 1]
Aight then, what's good? (Ayy)
Wagwan? What's popping?
She had them big eyes online, saw her on the road she ain't half as passive
Said my chat-up lines hit like bass, but they're comin' out silent like Charlie Chaplin
My brudda's right there in his new top, this kid's looking like he's on Google Maps, lost
Got so many, so many strategies, got so many lines that have now been forgotten
I mean, I love when my confidence hits me, but true say, I think the whole plot is rotten
Right now, her face is just lovely, I wish you could've seen the look that I just got
When I walked up there to extend my hand, and she said 'Wait a sec, I know you from ends...'

[Pre-Chorus]
I got one girl that I want, look, I don't need a hundred flings
And this girl's got me shook for my life, I can't, I gotta say the right things
Don't think that I ain't on froze just 'cause I ain't bought the rings
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits

[Chorus]
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits (Gimme that!)
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits

[Verse 2]
Mandem dream of a mortgage, don't you want dinners and fancy things?
I came to her with a plan, but I got patience like I'm stuck in traffic
Sweat drippin' down, I'm looking all claggy
One look from her, my whole world's gone static
If my heart beats more, tell a man 'Sure!', like 'Luke, I am your...' - wait, that's dramatic
She looks at me funny, sees the mole on my left, can't take me for just some fanatic
If you wanna be a big man for your girl, my nan would tell you 'Don's be erratic!'
She squints her two eyes, the blues are intense, then she smiles and her voice is ecstatic...

"I know you from Nan's house in Santander! Aren't you my little cousin Patrick?!"

[Pre-Chorus]
I got ten people that I love, look, I guess I got a new friend
And this girl wants to stay for a chat, I can't, I think I gotta just go by ten
Don't think that I ain't on road just 'cause I'm stuck here with my kin
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a man I'm with my cousin.

[Chorus]
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits
It's a family ting!
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits
Tell a girl I want them seven digits, and tell a girl I want them seven digits
Forget it!
This situation's looking real awkward, tell a girl I want them seven digits

For Real (Angel Eyes)

[Verse 1]
They all called me the coward of the North End
I never raised a single fist to prove the whole town wrong
My daddy told me, "Son, just never be a bad boy"
Something in my gut told me they were reading me all wrong

[Pre-Chorus / Build-up]
He was only thirty when he died inside a prison
I looked after Mom 'cause I was my father's only son
I still hear the last words that my good old daddy told me
"Son, my race is over, but yours has just begun…"

[Chorus / Drop]
"Promise me, son, don't repeat the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you're able!"
Now it don't mean you're weak to not turn the other cheek
But they came and smashed my girl against a table!
Son, you don't have to fight to be stable!

[Verse 2]
There's a line for everyone, and my love's name was Gina
In her eyes, I didn't have to prove I was a man
Then one night the lawmen came, the blue lights and the sirens
They tore her dress and shattered her, it wasn't in my plan

[Pre-Chorus / Build-up]
I opened up my front door, saw my Gina crying
That broken look upon her face was more than I could stand
I looked up at the ceiling, saw my daddy's disappointed face
As a single tear fell from my eye, I heard his words again…

[Chorus / Drop]
"Promise me, son, don't repeat the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you're able!"
Now it don't mean you're weak to not turn the other cheek
But they came and smashed my girl against a table!
Son, you don't have to fight to be stable!

[Post-Chorus / Hook]
Don’t push me… I’m a cowboy
Don’t push me… I’m a cowboy now

[Bridge]
I promised you, Dad, I wouldn't do the things you'd done
I dealt in weed and traded speed 'til my new war was won
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
And Papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta deal the fight to be the man.

[Final Chorus / Drop]
I promised you, Dad, I wouldn't do the things you'd done!
I walk away from trouble when I'm able!
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek!
And Papa, I just turned the damn tables!
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're the man!

[Outro]
No one calls me the coward of the North End…

The Coward Of The North End

[Verse 1]
The city’s a jungle, Babylon’s concrete walls
I’m trying to find cover before the whole thing falls
They tell me sing like Madonna, a hollow echo’s call
They tell me dance like a machine, before you lose it all
I try to move like Jagger and block the sun
Scream something hollow, bang on empty drums

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, broken boy, where do I begin?
Have you grown old or can you still pretend?
With every step, I feel less like me
Where is the life that was promised to me?

[Chorus]
I wanna build you a house by the water
I wanna have two sons and forget the dollars
I wanna tear down this Babylon
I just want to get the girl
And sleep in the sun
Yeah, I just want to get the girl

[Verse 2]
I’m in a crowded room, a cage of flashing lights
I don’t look up at the stars, I need them shining on me tonight
I put on a steel pulse, a rhythm I don’t feel
Just trying to escape something that feels too real
I wanna be better than everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, broken boy, where do I begin?
Have you grown old or can you still pretend?
With every step, I feel less like me
Where is the life that was promised to me?

[Chorus]
I wanna build you a house by the water
I wanna have two sons and forget the dollars
I wanna tear down this Babylon
I just want to get the girl
And sleep in the sun
Yeah, I just want to get the girl
(Oh, you foolish boy)
I just want to get the girl
(Oh, you foolish boy)

[Bridge]
Oh, by God
Let me be honest, let me be brave
Oh, by God
From this performance, let me be saved
Oh, by God
Let me feel your body
And kiss you until dawn

[Chorus]
I wanna build you a house by the water!
(Wanna build it for you!)
I wanna have two sons and forget the dollars!
(Forget the dollars!)
I wanna tear down this Babylon!
I just want to get the girl
And sleep in the sun!

[Outro]
I just want to get the girl
(Wanna sing like I mean it)
And sleep in the sun
(Wanna chant with my heart)
I just want to get the girl
(Tear it all down)
And sleep in the sun


I Just Want To Get The Girl

[Chorus]
I see all these lonely people, what are we waiting for?
The universe is screaming, just a "hello" is the cure
If you want a connection, and I bet you do
Just know I’m kinda lonely too

[Verse 1]
Oh, I look so good in that short skirt and boots
Been making up a story in my head
I’ve spotted you in here on all my lonely routes
Your laptop screen reflects the words unsaid

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm here, and you're still waiting
Just two tables, one degree of separation

[Chorus]
I see all these lonely people, what are we waiting for?
The universe is screaming, just a "hello" is the cure
If you want a connection, and I bet you do
Just know I’m kinda lonely too

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, what are we waiting for?

[Verse 2]
You’re sippin' coffee at Costa, your laptop for company
I watch you looking around the room (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You’re scanning faces now, a little desperately
Guess who you’re hoping to see soon?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm here, and you're still waiting
Just two tables, one degree of separation

[Chorus]
I see all these lonely people, what are we waiting for?
The universe is screaming, just a "hello" is the cure
If you want a connection, and I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know I’m kinda lonely too

[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Bridge]
Every time you check your phone
And feel that sigh, you're not alone
And every time you take a sip
My name is almost on your lip
You could meet her, if you like
I've sat right here and watched all night
And singing 'bout it don't make it true
Yeah, I think I'm waiting just for you

[Chorus]
Well, I see all these lonely people, what are we waiting for?
The universe is screaming, just a "hello" is the cure
If you want a connection, and I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know I’m kinda lonely too

[Outro]
Lonely too, ow! (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I see all these lonely people, what are we waiting for?
You, me, yeah, ah-ah (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I bet you're waiting for me, too.

What Are We Waiting For

[Verse 1]
I say... I remember when we used to sit
In a one-room flat downtown
Just ob-observing the city lights
While the real world spun around
Good times we had, and oh, some friends we lost
Along that way...
In this great big future, I can't forget those days...

[Buildup]
So I dry my eyes, I say...
Just one word to make it okay...
I dry my eyes, I say...
And all the loneliness fades away...

[Drop / Chorus]
Just say hello!
And no, woman, no cry
A single word is all I need
Then no, woman, no cry
(No, woman, no cry)
Yeah, just one hello
My little darlin', don't you shed one tear
'Cause no, woman, no cry

[Verse 2]
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In that little flat downtown
And you would make the candlelight bright
As the shadows danced around
Then we would cook instant noodles
Of which I'd always share with you
Our feet were our only carriage
So we had to just push on through
But now you're gone...

[Bridge / Second Buildup]
And they say everything will be all right
(Everything will be all right)
They say everything will be all right
(Everything will be all right)
They say everything will be all right!
(Will it be all right?)
They say everything will be all right!

[Second Drop / Chorus]
Just say hello!
And no, woman, no cry
A single word is all I need
Then no, woman, no cry
(No, woman, no cry)
Yeah, just one hello
My little darlin', don't you shed one tear
'Cause no, woman, no cry

[Breakdown]
Funny, isn't it?
We had nothing. A leaky roof and two-buck wine...
But we owned the world.
Now... now there's this penthouse view, a car I can't pronounce...
And the silence is so loud.
All the complications, the schedules, the space between us...
It all disappears if you just... if you just...

[Final Buildup]
Maybe everything can be all right!
Everything can be all right!
Everything can be all right!
Just say the word!

[Final Drop / Chorus]
Just say hello!
And no, woman, no cry
A single word is all I need
Then no, woman, no cry
(No, woman, no cry)
Yeah, just one hello
My little sister, don't you shed one tear
'Cause no, woman, no cry!

[Outro]
Just... say... hello...
(Little darlin', don't shed no tears)
Just... say... hello...
(No, woman, no cry)
Hello...
(Little sister, don't shed no tears)
(No, woman, no cry)

Say Hello (No Woman No Cry)
