Lounge-y bossa-pop thing about optimism as a state of mind. Thanks to Dave Biggs for splendid tremelo guitar.

Lyrics
a cold wind rolls in from the shore and tries the handle on my door I'm going to wrap this ragged blanket round my soul I make some tea, turn up the heat and gaze into the empty street I'm going to wrap this ragged blanket round my soul Well you might believe, it's never going to ease my friend but in the optimists world, even all the bad times end The nation blunders to the right but under here I'll sleep tonight I'm going to wrap this ragged blanket round my soul when greed is good and bad is blurred compassion is a retro word I'm going to wrap this ragged blanket round my soul Well you may insist, that this is just a pantomime but it's the optimists wish, that all of us call out in time (oh yes it is!) The wreckers gather in their clans and joke about our hopeful plans I'm going to wrap this ragged blanket round my soul and Sisyphus is trying still to push his boulder up that hill I'm going to wrap that ragged blanket round my soul Do I hear you sigh, that all our trying is in vain? well to an optimist's eye, we've got all the world to gain
