Hoping For A Miracle
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 SongtexteFiring 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
