I Ain’t No Miracle Worker
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nancie Mantz
As performed by The Brogues
This punk classic was penned by a gal who also co-wrote the Electric Prunes’, I Had Too
To Dream Last Night. Originally given to the Chocolate Watchband, this song made the
eventually reaching #1 in Italy! Its been said that there has never been a bad version
song, and I believe it. For me, the Brogues cover has just the right combination of
snarl, and garage-style riffs.

Ask me to be true
Ask me for all the love I have

I tell ya, we just don’t have a chance
