The wild nature of the second set at Worcester on 11/27/98 is reflected in the appearance of this English Beat song in the middle of a raucous “Chalk Dust Torture.” While Trey took the reins at the start of the “Chalk Dust” jam, Mike’s mind was obviously contemplating the staccato ska of “Mirror,” one of the English Beat’s most popular singles. After Mike plugged the tune’s bass-line into the “Chalk Dust” socket a couple of times, Trey took the cue and electrified the whole thing with some appropriate chording and a couple of verses to boot. Fish and Page naturally complemented with respective drumming and organ work. By the way, this set is a must-have for fans of the wilder shows, and conveniently is captured as Live Phish 06.

Mirror in the bathroom please talk free
The door is locked just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself while you are eating
Mirror in the bathroom I just can't stop it
Every Saturday you see me window shopping
I find no interest in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections of my own sweet self, self, self
Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/english-beat-lyrics/mirror-in-the-bathroom-lyrics.html -]
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom recompense
For all my crimes of self defense
Cures you whisper make no sense
Drift gently into mental illness
Mirror in the bathroom please talk free
The door is locked just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself while you are eating
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
