Sung by Sarah White.

Someone asked me if I could write a Jazz song for her, and it's my one and only attempt at writing in this genre.
I think Sarah did a cracking job considering that likewise, she'd never sung any Jazz before.

Half-empty glass man,
You’re so closed in and dull
Half-empty glass man,
Why’s your glass not half-full.

Life treats you mean,
But stop complaining to me,
Don’t want a scene,
But I guess that’s the way you like it to be.

CHORUS
You’re in a negative, hole in the ground,
Compliments are few,
When a glass is half-full,
It’s half-empty to you,
You’re in a negative, hole in the ground,
I’m not positive why,
And you don’t really need me around,
‘Cause I can’t put the sun in your sky.
