ARROGANT MAN
(Ian M. Bruce/Charlie Milne)

It's a strange thing isn't it?
How people get it wrong.
How people, they just get it wrong?
They see you big and they think your strong,
But people they just get it wrong.

They say, "He's an offhand arrogant man.
Who does he think he is?
Over confident man!
Who does he think he is?
Windows and mirror walls the same,
He can't resist on the pass
The head turns to check reflections
Of his handsome self in the glass.

Chorus
So, come close, climb inside
And just for a moment be me.
Reflections through the looking glass
See the flaws that I see.

So look out, see what we will.
To do so we all are free.
We must keep an open mind
And live our lives reasonably.
To see ourselves as others see us-
A rude awakening that might be.
But for a moment "they" could be "us"
They might think different of me.

Chorus

So, come close, climb inside
And just for a moment be me.
Reflections through the looking glass
See the flaws that I see.
