lyrics

Mirrored Windows (- Norm Baker)
It would seem to me that you feel,
The world you hide from's far too real,
With world reporters casting glares
Off reflective glasses that you wear
The movies made a star of you
the critics write a page or two
Forcing you to view your climb
Through mirrored windows where you hide

Does the blue sky look serene
Through tinted glass of limousines
You turn your head away and laugh
As faces press for autographs
The movies made a star of you (3 part harmony)
the critics write a page or two
Forcing you to view your climb
Through mirrored windows where you hide
Does the stardom get to you
When fans & critics say that you're a

Star, shining star (3 part harmony?)
Burning so bright
Falling so hard
Oh star, shining star
Burned out so fast
Your light dissolves

Shine..... On (x4) <R-'shine' | G-'On'>





We never ever see your face
The silver screen's the only place
You hide out miles away from view
We need to know the things you do
The movies made a star of you
the critics write a page or two
Forcing you to view your climb
Through mirrored windows where you hide

Reflect a world that praises you
Reject the words that critics choose
The hardest role you played is gone
The headlines said you died alone
The movies made a star of you
the critics write a page or two
Forcing you to view your climb
Through mirrored windows where you hide
Does the stardom get to you
When fans & critics say that you're a

Star, shining star
Burning so bright
Falling so hard
Oh star, shining star
Burned out so fast
Your light dissolves

Skookum image

Skookum Vancouver, British Columbia

‘Skookum’ is slang for “Big n’ tough”, impressive 'n' cool; but its origin is a Pacific Northwest term for Sasquatch, or fearsome and swift. With powerful riffs, big grooves & a walloping vocal punch they sound Skookum: A scrappy groovin’ band from Vancouver, not afraid to slow down once in a while. Making great music is serious business for this group who claim creativity & laughs as their mantra ... more
