Pet Shop Boys - Red Letter Day


Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits
Of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share

Flowers in the garden
Blue 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
Fade into 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'
Baby, i'm waiting
For that red letter day

You can sneer
Or disappear behind a 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
Baby i'm hoping
For that red letter day
Today

Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits
Of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share

Flowers in the garden
Blue 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
Fade into 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'
Baby, i'm waiting
For that red letter day

You can sneer
Or disappear behind a 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
Baby i'm hoping
For that red letter day
Today
