Song lyrics
North to South
Empty
Running on
Bravado

As if to say, as if to say
As if to say, he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different

Stop being, so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean, so blue jeans
He's gonna save the world, he's gonna!

Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?

Three out of five, three out of five (It's not enough)
Six out of ten, better luck next time
Just like his Dad, just like his Dad (The same mistakes)
Some things will never be different

Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (So wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault (Just this once)
They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be, more European?
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head, in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle? (It's not enough, it's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle? (It's not enough, it's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle? (It's not enough, it's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle? (It's not enough, it's not enough)

Heavily tipped for 2005, these guys. I wouldn't say it's their best but it's a lot of fun. They look great too. 3 out of 5! 3 out of 5!

"Empty/Running on bravado.../Bastard child of guilt and shame/Bury your head in the sand/I'm thinking six.../Are you hoping for a miracle?/It's not enough."
Searing. Rabid guitars. Perfect lyrical portrait of Bush.

Ok first of all, to the person above me, your president has influenced our prime minister in the past, and I think you'll find a lot of British people who hate George Bush.

Second of all - this song is the cool. Has such a good tune to it, and drums.

Just looked at the lyrics and didn't realise they were about Bush.

Off course the British care about Bush when our soldiers are in Iraq fighting his war for his Daddy.

Brilliant song (regardless who it is about)

Amazing song, I didn't know til I read this board that the song is about Bush. I thought it was about some American girl, but they aren't so different are they, Bush and an American girl.

Great song =) True British greatness
