A Case of Misplaced Optimism Songtext
von The Tangent

I might have found it
I might have found what I′ve been looking for (yeah)
But I'm suspicious
I run my fingers ′cross it just to make sure
I might have found it
I'm really pleased 'cause all the things will fall into place
Once I′ve found what I′m searching
Hold my cards, or play my ace
Such a good idea, I think it's the way to go
Such a good idea
I thought that you should know
I might have found it
I might have found it, but put it into practice
Wouldn′t mean that I was free, no
Born at the wrong time into the wrong house
This was not meant to be, not for you, no
I might have found it
I might have found it, but for all the good it did me
Because I didn't have the guts
To stand up for what′s inside me


And what's inside me, the world screwed up
It′s such a good idea
I think it's the way to go
Such a good idea, I thought that you should know
Such a good idea
Such a good idea, I thought that you should know
And all this time I've let the music do my talking
A kind of proxy for the man I want to be
I was a prisoner in this gender from the offset
A hidden person in a world in which I′m apparently free
Am I happy in my life
Like you′re happy in yours
Can you give me some pointers
I might have found it
I might have found it
Such a good idea, I think it's the way to go
Such a good idea, thought that you should know
Such a good idea, I think it′s the way to go
Such a good idea, thought that you should know
Such a good idea, I think it's the way to go
Such a good idea, thought that you should know
Such a good idea, I think it′s the way to go
Such a good idea, thought that you should know
Am I happy in my life
Like you're happy in yours
Can you give me some pointers
