Miracle Man

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

Intro: You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why. I never thought that so much trouble was a restin’ on my reply I could say it was the nights when I was lonely And you were the only one who’d come. I could tell you that I like your sensitivity When you know it’s the way that you walk. Why do you have to say that there’s always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don’t you think that I know that walking on the water n.c. Won’t make me a miracle man? Baby’s gotta have the things she wants. You know she’s gotta have the things she loves. She’s got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder and her black patent leather gloves. And I’m doing everything just tryin’ to please her Even crawling around on all fours. Oh I thought by now that it was gonna be easy But she still seems to want for more. Why do you have to say that there’s always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don’t you think that I know that walking on the water n.c. Won’t make me a miracle man? Oh yeah Yeah they’re givin’ you a bad reputation just because you’ve never been denied. You try to say you’ve done it all before. Baby you know that you just get tired. Yet everybody loves you so much girl. I just don’t know how you stand the strain. Oh but I’m the one who’s here tonight and I don’t wanna do it all in vain. Why do you have to say that there’s always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don’t you think that I know that walking on the water n.c. Won’t make me a miracle man? Oh yeah A miracle man? Oh yeah A miracle man? Oh yeah A miracle man? Oh yeah

Cette chanson aborde la tension dans une relation où l'un des partenaires se sent insuffisant, comparé aux attentes de l'autre. L'interlocuteur se demande pourquoi son amour est toujours en quête d'idéal et insiste sur le fait qu'il ne peut pas atteindre des sommets extraordinaires pour prouver son amour. Il met en lumière le fait qu'il fait tout pour plaire à l’autre, mais se rend compte que ses efforts ne semblent jamais assez. Le contexte évoqué peut être celui des sacrifices et des luttes propres aux relations amoureuses, où l'un ressent constamment la pression d'être à la hauteur. La dynamique de cette recherche de reconnaissance et d'estime se mêle à une réflexion sur l’absurdité des attentes irréalistes, créant ainsi un portrait à la fois touchant et révélateur des défis relationnels.
