lyrics

The older I get, the less interested I am in new things. New movies, new music, new books, new experiences... Of course, I still enjoy music, movies, books, and other things that are new to me, but I find I really only enjoy them if they were created sometime during my youth, or before I was born. With music, 1994 seems to be a general cut-off date for my ability to really enjoy it on a deep, soul level. Ten or twelve years ago I worked at a record store called Fascinating Rhythm and I thought the older customers who only wanted to buy rare copies of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple records were pitifully stuck in 1974. I'm just like that now but with shoegaze and acid house.

Up and down, side to side
Back’n’forth, you decide
To the left, to the right
I’ll follow you all through the night
Wherever you go, wherever you lead
If you wanna vomit, if you wanna bleed
If you wanna kiss, if you wanna leave
If you wanna get lost at sea

Mirror mirror, in or out
Twist and crawl or Twist and shout
You wanna go out dancin’ but not to dance
Your poker face leaves nothing to chance
Shoop shoop, whoop-de-doo
Hello Mary-Lou and Peggy Sue
You know Johnny will never be good
You wouldn’t change him if you could

Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
If you wanna play pinball, beat my score
Set a new record and I’ll beat yours
This DIY space has the shittiest beer
But there’s a harsh noise band you gotta hear

Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
I don’t like music made after ‘94
Young bands sound good, but I get bored
Like the old guys I used to make fun of at the record store
Everything feels like I heard it all before

Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
Mirror mirror, tell me the truth
Why do people hang on to their youth
