Champagne Year Lyrics
So I thought I'd learned my lesson
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the fall night air
I'll make a living telling people what they want to hear
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear
Cause it's not a perfect plan
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we've got
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we've got
Cause I make a living telling people what they want to hear
But I tell ya, it's gonna be a champagne year
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the fall night air
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we've got
But it's the one we've got
But I tell ya, it's gonna be a champagne year

This song is about how we are all grasping at straws for easy answers to life's questions. Sometimes that can cause us to lie to ourselves and others. At the end of the song she makes a seemingly sarcastic remark about the upcoming "Champagne year." In actuality anything can happen and you just have to make the best of the situation whatever it may be. There will never be a perfect solution and yet as problem solvers we usually find a way to keep on the right track. The song is somewhat melancholic but I'm sure everyone has answered "well/fine/good" to the "how are you?" question without really meaning it... and thats the tone of this song.
im not sure what the song means but the first verse sounds SO similar to the verses in jeff buckley's version of "hallelujah"
Yes, I definitely thought this too upon first hearing it.
