lyrics

What's It Take To Make You Smile Again?
Some say the glass is half empty, and some say the glass is half full
But you say it’s made out of plastic, and others got more than you
Well, it may be true the design isn’t new and it might have a crack down one side
But at least your glass still holds water, and much more besides

Chorus
If you count your blessings it’s not so depressing
You’ll find you’ll be counting all day See the Pied Piper lead all of your demons away
But even their banishment feels like a punishment
What’s it take to make you smile again?
What’s it take to make you smile again?

Some people curse the darkness, while others will light up a flame
But you seem to curse every candle as well as complain
And don’t even start on the weather, cos I know just what you’re going to say
It’s either too hot or too cold or there’s too much or not enough rain

Everyone stands at life’s entrance, rolls a few dice before the game
If you get three sixes you’re loaded with riches or fame
Well, you got a six and a six and a three, and still you decide to complain
Well go back and roll them again if you like, see if you get that lucky again
