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

 [bad word] 
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

 [bad word] 
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

 [bad word] 
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

Do you believe in miracles

Repeat to fade
Oh do you believe in miracles
