Pet Shop Boys - A Red Letter Day lyrics

Hang the fruits of your labor on the wall

With such precision and care

What does it matter if there's no one here to share?

The flowers in the garden

The wine

The "Waiting for Godot"

And so much modern time

All I want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a Red Letter Day

The years perfecting a stance

Of measured cool

Fading to insignificance

The moment one starts to understand

What on Earth does it

Profit a man?

All I want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a Red Letter Day

For something special

Somehow new

Someone saying "I love you"

Maybe I'm waiting for a Red Letter Day

You can sneer

Or disappear behind your veneer

Of self control

But for all of those who don't fit in

Who follow their instincts and are told they sin

This is a prayer for a different way

All I want

Is what you want

I'm always waiting

For a Red Letter Day

Like Christmas morning when you're a kid

Admit you love me and you always did

Maybe I'm waiting for that Red Letter Day

I'm always waiting

I'm always waiting

Waiting

For something special

Somehow new

Someone saying "I love you"

Maybe I'm hoping for that Red Letter Day

Today
