It was in the winter of '79 When the band was at a low Then we met yer man that they called The Mouth At a party there on show
He said "Why'd you carry on this way I could never go to dat" But he had to learn he was just the same One step forward two steps back
Chorus Can you hear me now Oh do you believe in miracles Just as only dreamers can And if he can work with a miracle Like a bloody minded man Like a bloody minded man
It was in the autumn of '84 Going live through '85 When he made the greatest show on earth To help a country to survive
Chorus Can you hear me now, hear me now Oh do you believe in miracles Just as only dreamers can And if he can work with a miracle Like a bloody minded man Like a bloody minded man
So yer man determined he found a cause When the powers just couldn't cope Or did you ever think that old rock and roll Could give the world some kind of hope
Chorus Can you hear me now, hear me now Oh do you believe in miracles Just as only dreamers can And if he can work with a miracle Like a bloody minded man Like a bloody minded man
Oh do you believe in miracles When the dream has just begun And if he can work with a miracle Just like Irelands favourite son And the dream has just begun
