The Man in the Glass

[Kingsland Red]

When you get what you want in your struggle for self

And the world makes you king for a day,

Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,

And see what that man has to say.

 

For it isn't your father or mother or wife,

Who judgment upon you must pass;

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the one starring back from the glass.

 

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest.

For he's with you clear up to the end,

And you've passed the most dangerous, difficult test

If the man in the glass is your friend.

 

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,

And think you're a wonderful guy,

But the man in the glass says you're only a bum

If you can't look him straight in the eye.

 

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years.

And get pats on the back as you pass,

But your final reward will be the heartaches and tears

If you've cheated the man in the glass.

 

Be true to yourself - Nigel Adkins. Legend. He was one of us.

Ahh, who has been listening to the Radio Solent phone-in then? I almost did the same thing, but decided it was too transparent and settled for a little post on another thread instead

when they played this earlier on solent sport it really hit me how much of a legend he is and how upset and angry I am about how he's been treated

Seriously?... Don't tell me you don't understand this?

I might not be slick,

Or have little to say,

I'm a bit of a pr1ck,

and a little bit gay

 

I post on a forum,

And all my posts suck,

So most people ignore 'em,

I don't give a f#ck.

Hope Cortese can look at himself in a mirror tonight.
