[Verse]
So I thought I'd learned my lesson
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the falling air
[Refrain 1]
I make a living telling people what they want to hear
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not a perfect plan
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got
[Refrain 2]
'Cause I make a living telling people what they want to hear
And, boy, I tell you, it's gonna be a champagne year
Champagne Year was written by St. Vincent.
Champagne Year was produced by John Congleton.
St. Vincent released Champagne Year on Mon Sep 12 2011.
A “champagne birthday” is when you turn the same age as your birthdate, which in Annie Clark’s case is 28. So her “champagne year” would be most of 2011, when Strange Mercy was released.
