I believe in miracles

Lately, me and Evey have been jamming to Pearl Jam's "Live at Benaroya Hall, Oct. 22., 2003." It's a two-disc live CD, almost all acoustic. They pull out a lot of the lesser known PJ songs, a few of Binaural, a few B-sides, and even a few covers (including Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes to Go").

Anyway, my favorite track off the whole set is probably disc one track 11 -- "I Believe in Miracles," a cover of a Ramones song. Lyrics follow:

i used to be on an endless run

believed in miracles 'cause i'm one

i have been blessed with the power to survive

after all these years i'm still alive

i'm out here kickin' with the band

suddenly i'm a solitary man

every day my time runs out

lived like a fool, that's what i was about

oh i believe in miracles

oh i believe in a better world for me and you

oh-oh-oh, i believe in miracles

hey i believe in a better world for me and you

tattooed your name on my arm

i always said my girl's a good luck charm

if she can find a reason to forgive

then i can find a reason to live

i used to be on an endless run

believed in miracles 'cause i'm one

i have been blessed with the power to survive

after all these years i'm still alive

oh i believe in miracles

oh i believe in a better world for me and you

oh-oh-oh, i believe in miracles

oh i believe in a better world for me and you

i close my eyes and think how it might be

the future's here today

it's not too late

it's not too late, no!

oh i believe in miracles

oh i believe in a better world for me and you

oh-oh-oh, i believe in miracles

oh i believe in a better world for me and you

alright!

I don't know any Ramones off-hand, I probably would if someone told me what they sang. But this is just a great song, the one I have stuck in my head these days.
