Pet Shop Boys - Hoping for a miracle lyrics
[Pet Shop Boys - Hoping for a miracle lyrics]
On Waterloo Bridge, you got lost in the fog
Performing a crazy monologue
About love and luck and do they coincide?
And how you can feel disqualified
With no room for manoeuvre
And all routes explored
Because you're ignored
You're hoping for a miracle
To get you out of here hoping for a miracle
A miraculous career where everyone loves you
Everyone wants you a photo on their phone
You're on the rebound life is a playground
A taxi takes you home
You're hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no room for manoeuvre
No room for manoeuvre
A meadow in Oxford where you sat in the sun
Those were the days you had just begun
Firing verbal shots like a Tommy Gun
In the expectation you'd be number one
A child of the sun, a leader of men
You know, not if, but when
You're hoping for a miracle
To run and win the race hoping for a miracle
To earn a famous face everyone loves you
Everyone needs you you've got what it takes
You're everywhere now you have the know-how
And all the money it makes
Hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no thought of surrender
No thought of surrender
No thought of surrender
No room for manoeuvre
Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
You need a break
You could take it from anywhere
Could they beam you out of here?
Hoping for a miracle been waiting too long
You're hoping for a miracle
To help you carry on when nobody loves you
Nobody needs you you're out here on your own
(You're out here on your own)
Who can you turn to? Where can you run to?
There's nowhere you call home
(There's nowhere you call home)
You're hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no room for manoeuvre
No room for manoeuvre
It's been this way since life began
The child lives on inside the man
You have to eat, you have to sleep
You sometimes feel you're in too deep
Performing a crazy monologue
About love and luck and do they coincide?
And how you can feel disqualified
With no room for manoeuvre
And all routes explored
Because you're ignored
You're hoping for a miracle
To get you out of here hoping for a miracle
A miraculous career where everyone loves you
Everyone wants you a photo on their phone
You're on the rebound life is a playground
A taxi takes you home
You're hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no room for manoeuvre
No room for manoeuvre
A meadow in Oxford where you sat in the sun
Those were the days you had just begun
Firing verbal shots like a Tommy Gun
In the expectation you'd be number one
A child of the sun, a leader of men
You know, not if, but when
You're hoping for a miracle
To run and win the race hoping for a miracle
To earn a famous face everyone loves you
Everyone needs you you've got what it takes
You're everywhere now you have the know-how
And all the money it makes
Hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no thought of surrender
No thought of surrender
No thought of surrender
No room for manoeuvre
Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
You need a break
You could take it from anywhere
Could they beam you out of here?
Hoping for a miracle been waiting too long
You're hoping for a miracle
To help you carry on when nobody loves you
Nobody needs you you're out here on your own
(You're out here on your own)
Who can you turn to? Where can you run to?
There's nowhere you call home
(There's nowhere you call home)
You're hoping for a miracle
Still hoping for a miracle
With no room for manoeuvre
No room for manoeuvre
It's been this way since life began
The child lives on inside the man
You have to eat, you have to sleep
You sometimes feel you're in too deep
