There's a glass half empty There's a glass half full I look in the mirror A friend or a fool? With ignorance or wisdom? Is he good or evil? Brave or a coward? A boy or a girl? When I look in the mirror What creature would I be? A mermaid or a fish? A monkey stuck in a tree? Shark or an eel? Eagle or magpie? Panther or snake? A graceful swan or a butterfly? When I looked in the mirror What did I dream? A managing director With a beautiful partner Maybe some kids one day Some pets and a goat Big house of my own A holiday home When I looked in the mirror What did I see? A flabby middle manager That's just getting by 45 years old thinking What have I achieved? Parents and teacher would agree I've under-achieved The elephants in the room are eating The elephants in the room are winning The elephants in the room are grinning This is what it means to be English To be reserved and not to speak out Going to break down the walls Release them into the wild I stop to question To follow the rules To do what you're told Accept your lot To not get cross To eat five a day And exercise lots Look in the mirror What would my wife say? Russ is Russ It is what it is He has his moments He's not an Adonis We're just getting by It makes me want to cry When I look in the mirror And I look real close Should I start wearing make-up? Or change my clothes? Remove my body hair? Wear nice underwear? Paint my nails And paint my toes? When I look in the mirror How do I explain this? Where do I start? Is it all in my head? Do I read a book? Do I see a doctor? Is it a passing phase? Or a crisis of middle age? The elephants in the room are eating The elephants in the room are winning The elephants in the room are grinning This what it means to be English To be reserved and not to speak out Got to break down the walls Release them into the wild Should I poison the reeds? Do I buy a large net? Do I get a gun? Should I tell my mum? Can I tell my wife? The elephants in the room are breeding The elephants in the room are mating
