Steve Harley, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Mirror Freak Lyrics

Oh exhibition yourself, we'll hold a show on the shelf
'Cause we can feel a change is on the way
You're not a skin or a spiv, boy who are you trying to kid
You're jolly handsome, super wizard, okay?
Would you resort to telling all your friends lies
When they can see right through your flimsy disguise?
We all consider you far out so there can be little doubt
You're gonna make it in a big, big way

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the yobs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
Oh what a shame, such a bore!
Oh well I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I, I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I don't want to turn on tonight
I said I don't want to turn on tonight

You put your hand in the air and when they ask you say yeah
And they'll be happy to believe you're both kinds
Then shake a fist or a leg and prove the image is dead
Or the chances are you'll rip up their minds
Oh, you're too cute to be a big rock star
But if you're cool you may not push it too far
Oh just believe in yourself and take a tip from the elf
And sing a boogie to the image fatale

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the yobs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
Oh what a shame, such a bore!
Oh well I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I, I don't want to turn on tonight
I said I don't want to turn on tonight

You feel Loretta's deep breaths, you put a hand on her breast
You feel her come on like some movie-star chick
You slide your body across, you fight so hard to be boss
But sweet Loretta, she knows all the tricks
So you perform like it's your very last show
You turn her on but she's never gonna know
Then you can shuffle your hips or M-M-Mae West your lips
But you're the same old thing we've always known

Oh, we can feel a new existence beginning
And the yobs have made a go at forgiving
And the new man he appears to be winning
Oh what a shame, such a bore!
Oh well I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I, I don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I don't want to turn on tonight
I said I don't want to turn on tonight

I said I don't want to turn on tonight night night
You know, don't want to turn on tonight night night
I said I don't want to turn on tonight night
I said I don't want to turn on tonight
