elvis costello – miracle man [live, el mocambo 1978] lyrics
[verse 1]
you never asked me what i wanted
you only asked me why
i never thought that so much trouble
was resting on my reply
[pre+chorus]
i could say it was the nights when i was lonely
and you were the only one who’d come
i could tell you that i like your sensitivity
when you know it’s the way that you walk
[chorus]
why do you have to say that there’s always someone
who can do it better than i can?
don’t you think that i know that walking on water
won’t make me a miracle man?
[verse 2]
baby’s got to have the things she wants
you know, she’s got to have the things she loves
she’s got a ten+inch bamboo cigarette holder
and her black patent leather gloves
[pre+chorus]
and i’m doing everything just trying to please her
even crawling around on all fours
oh, i thought by now that it was gonna be easy
but she still seems to want for more
[chorus]
why do you have to say that there’s always someone
who can do it better than i can?
don’t you think that i know that walking on water
won’t make me a miracle man?
oh yeah!
[spoken]
i wanna introduce you to the attractions one by one!
on the drums, mr. pete thomas!
on the bass guitar, mr. bruce thomas!
on the keyboards, in a very sophisticated mood indeed, mr. steve nieve!
[outro]
a miracle man
a miracle man
a miracle man
a miracle man
a miracle man
a miracle man
a miracle man
