Peter Hammill - Mirror images

If I^Dm'm the m^Airror and ^Dmyou're the i^Amage then ^Dmwhat's the ^Gsecret bet^Dmween the ^Atwo, these '^Dmme's and '^Ayou's, how ^Dmmany can there ^Gbe? Oh, ^CI don't mind all t^Ghat around the place, as ^Clong as you ke^Fep it well away from^Esus4 me. ^E

I'v^Dme begun to re^Agret that ^Dmwe ever m^Aet bet^Dmween the di^Gmensions. ^{Dm A} It ^Dmgets such a str^Aain to pre^Dmtend that the c^Ghange is ^Canything but ch^Geap... with your ^Cinfant p^Gique and your ^Cangst pret^Fensions sometimes you act like a ^Esus4creep.

And ^Amnow I'm standing in the corner, looking at the room and ^Gthe furniture ^Dmin cheap imitation^F of alienation and g^Esus4rief. And ^Amnow we're going to the kitchen, fix ourselves a drink and a ^Gcigarette, ^Dmgetting no closer ^Fto being the joker or thi^Esus4ef. ^E

^DmStill, I refl^Aect, this n^Dmervous wr^Aeck w^Dmho stands bef^Gore me c^Dman see as w^Aell, can ^Dmsurely te^All that h^Dme's not yet f^Gree; he can t^Curn as^Gide, but ^Ccan no more ig^Fnore me ^Fthan know which one of us is ^Ehe, ^Fthan tell what we are going to ^Ebe, ^Fthan know which one of us is ^Eme.

And ^Amnow we're going to the kitchen, fix ourselves a drink and a ^Gcigarette, ^Dmgetting no closer ^Fto being the joker or thi^Esus4ef. ^E

^Esus4These mirror ima^Eges, ^Esus4these mirror ima^Eges won't^Dsus4 stay, these mirror images go aw^Csus4ay, these mirror images are no he^Bsus4lp. In these mirror images of myself^{A Dm A} t^Dmhere are no ^Gsecrets.
