Sophie Ellis-Bextor
A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Does anyone believe?
Am I judged or I achieve?
You'll know what I mean
By what I leave
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yet I must be so humble when I'm praised
Like I've reached the higher ground, I have come of age
It's crazy I think of you
I know that you're coming too

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

It's a karaoke climate and we all sing the same fuckin' song

[Chorus]
Hey sunshine! I'll never shake your pride
You're what I need
You've been anointed
This is the highlight of your miserable life
A pessimist is never disappointed
Yeah a pessimist is never disappointed
[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
