Pet Shop Boys – A Red Letter Day
Go to work and take your callsHang the fruitsOf your labor on the wallsSuch precision and careWhat does it matterIf there’s no one here to share
The flowers in the gardenThe wineThe «Waiting for Godot»And so much modern time?
All I wantIs what you wantI’m always waitingFor a red letter day
The years perfecting a stanceOf measured coolFade into insignificanceThe moment one starts to understandWhat on earthDoes it profit a man?
All I wantIs what you wantI’m always waitingFor a red letter day
For something specialSomehow newSomeone saying ‘I love you’Baby, I’m waitingFor that red letter day
You can sneerOr disappear behind a veneerOf self-controlBut for all of those who don’t fit inWho follow their instinctsAnd are told they sinThis is a prayer forA different way
All I wantIs what you wantI’m always waitingFor a red letter day
Like Christmas morningWhen you’re a kidAdmit you love meAnd you always didBaby I’m hopingFor that red letter dayToday
