The Optimist / What's It To You

What’s It To You  paypal.me/aircrashdetectives



Verse 1 

Sparkling

Like champagne

On a Saturday afternoon

Wandering

Through the lemon grass

On the commons of Wimbledon

And Coldstream boys

In their funny hats

Are still fuming

Smoking

Cigarettes

Suffering from Wanker’s Doom


Verse 2

Chuckling

Like comedians

From iPhone photographs

Siblings

Chew the fat on the bacon

Having a laugh

Troubling

Good conscience

When you lie to me

Whispering

The knowledge

Like you are in some kind of trance


Ramp

In solitude

And silence

Looking for relief

From a war-torn girl

That beggar’s belief

Suffering from

Violence

Instead of

Playing violins

For the crowds

At the Albert

In the Saturday

Matinee

 

Chorus

What’s it to you

What difference does it make

I get so confused

With all this reckless hate

What’s it to you

What difference does it make

What if I am love

With someone you don’t like

What’s it to you

 

M8

Nothing is perfect

Except

All the lines and the creases

She makes with an iron

On the shirt

That he wears

To the home

Of the soldiers

Who fought and they died

For the right to escape

From the monsters of Moscow

On any given night
