A Red Letter Day [Single Version] Lyrics by Pet Shop Boys

PopArt (The Videos)

1997

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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?
The flowers in the garden, the wine
The Waiting for Godot and so much modern time?
[Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
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?
[Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
[Post-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
For somеthing special, somehow new
Somеone saying, I love you
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day
[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
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
[Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
[Post-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
Like Christmas morning when you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day
[Interlude: Neil Tennant]
I'm always waiting
I'm always waiting
Waiting
[Post-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod]
For something special, somehow new
Someone saying, I love you
Baby, I'm hoping for that red letter day today
