The Brogues - I ain't no miracle worker

Uno degli inni di questa dura estate, e una delle canzoni preferite di sempre dei coniugi Zaio. La ripresero i Corvi e diventò "Un ragazzo di strada", ma il significato cambiò. Quando parte l'assolo ho i brividi.

"Don't ask me to move a mountain
Don't ask me to swim your sea
Don't think that I am a tower of strength
Don't lean too much on me
When looking to the future
Don't build your dreams too high
I beg you to remember
I'm just an ordinary guy
I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man
And I don't have a fortune
You know I sweat for each dime I make
But I'm always living now just looking
To that get love you bring
Every day I keep on trying
To do my best for you
And every trying just ain't enough, baby
Well, tell me what would you have me do?
I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man
Ask me to be tender
Ask me to be true
Ask me for all the love I have
And girl, I'll give it all to you
But girl, I just can't offer
No storybook romance
Girl, that's what you're looking for, baby
I tell you, we just don't have a chance
I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I'm not a miracle man"

Non l'avevo mai ascoltata bene. I coniugi Zaio hanno ragione lol: è un testo molto bello.

Un classico del garage-punk! E mica sarà autobiografico, no? ;)
