The Optimist

by The Blow Monkeys

Lyrics
Well, I tried and I failed
That's right, yes, I failed
To glide away your coffin nails
But I'm not interested in your victory

Yeah, I tried and I failed, yes I did
Some people say I'm an optimist, yes I do
Oh, it's a beautiful day!

Well, I rode into town on my high horse
Yeah, I rode into town on my high horse
I said, "I love you, of course, I don't want to divorce
But I love you, of course, and I want to divorce"

Yeah, I rode into town on my high horse, yes I did
Some people say it'll be okay
But I... oh, it's a beautiful day!
Honestly, it's a beautiful day

Some people say I'm an optimist, yes I do
Oh, it's a beautiful day, really!
Oh, it's a beautiful day, yeah
Okay, okay
