A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

It’s unfashionable, I guess

To knock success.

It’s magnified and blessed,

Folk are so impressed.

This is uniformity.

Remember something, please,

As we travel up the tree

We show worse anatomy.

Yet we must be so charming when we’re praised.

Like kids when we are trashed we come of age.

It’s crazy

I think of you

I know that you’re coming too.

Hey, sunshine

I’ll never shake your pride;

you’re what I need,

You’ve been appointed.

This is the highlight of your miserable life.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

Does anyone believe, am I judged

Or I achieve?

You’ll know what I mean by what I leave.

Yet I must be so humble when I’m praised.

Like I’ve reached the higher ground, I have come of age.

I’m crazy

I think of you

I know that you’re coming too.

Hey, sunshine

I’ll never shake your pride;

you’re what I need,

You’ve been appointed.

This is the highlight of your miserable life.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, Â…

It’s a karaoke climate and we all sing the same fucking songs.

Hey, sunshine

I’ll never take your pride;

you’re what I need,

You’ve been annointed.

This is the highlight of your miserable life.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, Â…
