Mirror Mirror

The closing track from the debut EP by Loris and the Lion.

Thank you to Eloise for this and so many years of friendship.

 -----------  
Hush my darling, 
don't you say a word.  
The Devil isn't listening.  
For in has flown his 
Sunday silver bird,  
and I can't stop him singing.  

I was a candle dove.  
Sent to save,  
from fires above.   
Sing in your forbidden tongues,  
But stop before the woodsmen comes.  
He'll cut your laurel and your stolen Gods away.  
He'll say pot, kettle, are you black?  
and turn the feathers on your back, 
and make you sing for sixpence you have yet to pay.  

Hush my darling, 
pray you pay no heed.  
The magpie's only whistling.  
For she did steal 
that diamond for a star,  
and I can't stop it glistening.  

 I was a sun so bright.  
Sent to count the stars at night.   

One for sorrow,  
two for mirth.  
Stop before you count the earth.  
Why else do you think was Jacob's fiery angel slain?  

She swept to save his burning heart,  
but scattered when the ash bled dark,  
and cast a ring of roses round  the lover's flame.  

Hush my darling,
rest your head strong hands.  
The ring won't stop them shaking. 
 For it has shattered to a looking glass,  
and I can't stop it breaking.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you mean
Are you lean
Is your mind a machine?
Do you come home in the morning, you don’t know where you’ve been?
Are you a power house not watered down
Coming back to claim your crown
Are you a freak?

And are you six drinks in with a nightmarish dream
Are you the ghost of all the people I wish I didn’t meet?
And she’s so Aeropostale but you’re a freak in the sheets
If you know what I mean

[Chorus]
She said Jenny, Jenny
Watch your self esteem
Jenny, Jenny
Don’t go being mean
Said Jenny, let me be your queen
Jenny won’t you watch yourself
Jenny don’t you watch yourself
Just watch me

[Verse 2]
Are you a scream queen pursuing demons between your ears
Between your cold, black eyes that are brimming with tears?
You can light yourself on fire just to know that it heals
We all know how that feels

[Pre-chorus]
Oh Jenny my dear
Jenny why don’t you disappear?
Jenny, just so you know
I think you just sold your soul

[Chorus 2]
Jenny, Jenny
Watch your self esteem
Jenny, Jenny
Don’t go being mean
Said Jenny, let me be your queen
Jenny won’t you watch yourself
Jenny don’t you watch yourself
Just watch me

[Bridge]
Just watch me
Just watch me
Just watch me
Just watch me
You could be royalty
If you listened to me
You could be royalty
If you listened to me
You could be royalty
If you listened to me
You could be royalty

[Chorus 3]
Jenny, Jenny
Watch your self esteem
Jenny, Jenny
Don’t go being mean
Said Jenny, let me be your queen
Jenny won’t you watch yourself
Jenny don’t you watch yourself
Just watch me.

Jenny

I was alone 
and you were around
and that's how it started
I laid my face 
down onto your shoulder
You turned your head 
and everything changed

One moment we were friends
Then we were something more
One kiss that never ended
I'm seeing double 
but I know you're the one

Climbing the stairs
up into your room
to lie down on your bed
Funny this morning
we'd never have known
Now we're here in the dark
and I can see

The shape of you, it's new to me
But I think I know you well
I play it out after, over and over
in the back of my mind 
in the back of the taxi home

I was so hurt before
Now I am thankful for
everything you are
Cos you showed me
how it really feels
to be loved
