	作曲 : Paul Heaton & Dave Rotheray
	作词 : Heaton, Rotheray
	When was the last time you felt so happy
	You had to give yourself a good pinch
	When did you ever fail one of life's highs
	Without using stepladder or winch
	That's why the lifeless crave the past
	'Cause when they're flogged, stoned, lynched
	They can watch the living fizzle out to nought
	Without even moving one inch
	That's what keeps you alive
	The thought of undeserved death
	That's why cynics deep-sea dive
	Just to watch someone healthy lose breath
	That's what really makes you tick
	When the fearless are stopped in their tracks
	Optimism looks up counts the stars
	Pessimism looks down and counts cracks
	That Monday morning moaners club
	That meet every week on park bench
	At least they've earned their grumble stripes
	When they fought tooth and nail in the trench
	If you ever sat down in one place too long
	They'd need a fork-lift truck and a wrench
	Indecision drip feeds modesty
	But apathy fails even to quench
	That's what keeps you alive
	The thought of undeserved death
	That's why cynics deep-sea dive
	Just to watch someone healthy lose breath
	That's what really makes you tick
	When the fearless are stopped in their tracks
	Optimism looks up counts the stars
	Pessimism looks down and counts cracks
	And even when it's every man for himself
	You still like to stick with the bunch
	You'd rather tag along at the back of the crowd
	To risk anything on a hunch
	That's what keeps you alive
	The thought of undeserved death
	That's why cynics deep-sea dive
	Just to watch someone healthy lose breath
	That's what really makes you tick
	When the fearless are stopped in their tracks
	Optimism looks up counts the stars
	Pessimism looks down and counts cracks
