A Red Letter Day Lyrics
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?
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
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?
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
Of measured cool fade into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth does it profit a man?
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
Behind a veneer of self-control
Who follow their instincts and are told they sin
This is a prayer for a different way
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

One of their better songs!!!! I think they talk about routine and the lack of diversity in people's life in our society, something like a constructive criticism like he made in others several songs like "Flamboyant". Nevertheless, the part "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" can make you understand other tings I think.
