• Baker as a youth and today

    From Michael P.@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 7 16:04:21 2022
    He was a lonely boy no good at sports
    He couldn’t run his legs were short
    He walked the streets inside his head
    And spent a lot of time in bed

    He practiced on his way to school
    His friends all said you’re off the wall
    He played a tight elastic band
    His mike was just his empty hand

    Mirror mirror mirror star
    He posed in front of every car
    They all called him crazy kid
    He ran up to his room and hid

    He greased his hair with Vaseline
    And practiced looking really mean
    He saw a face that’s going far
    He posed right there with his guitar

    Heads in the clouds on school reports
    He’s always lost in other thoughts
    Makes no difference shut them out
    He’ll be a star someday no doubt

    Mirror mirror mirror star
    He posed in front of every car
    They all called him crazy kid
    He ran up to his room and hid

    Mirror mirror on the wall
    You’ll never treat him like a fool
    In his room he is the king
    The wild applause is deafening

    You see his face on every wall
    From Camden town to Liverpool
    He lays a groupie when he’s down
    And wreaks the best hotel in town

    The kids hang round to see his face
    And wish that they were in his place
    Reflection plays the Mirror maze
    Cause posing helps them make the grade
