Sympathy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sympathy, won't you come around?
I don’t need the commotion
Usually, though I'm up and down
You just need rollercoasters
[Pre-Chorus]
Good-goodness me, all you talk about
Is how you'll beat all the others
Sympathy won’t come around
So make peace and discover
[Chorus]
Why you make it up?
Party on and tear it down (Down, ooh)
Don't you wanna get it on? (On, yeah)
Everybody believes you now
[Verse 2]
I can see what you're all about
You don't need to be clever
If you don't speak your thoughts aloud
You just feel them forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Good-goodness me, all you talk about
Is how you'll beat one another
Sympathy is gonna come around
So make peace and discover
[Chorus]
Why you gotta make it up?
Party on and tear it down, down
Don't you wanna get it on?
Everybody believes you now
[Bridge]
You don't need to be clever
You don’t need to be clever
You don’t need to be clever
[Outro]
(Sympathy's gonna come around)
(You don’t need to be clever)
(Sympathy's gonna come around)
(You don't need to be clever)
(You don't need to be clever)
(You don’t need to be clever)

What did Declan McKenna say about "Sympathy"?
‘Sympathy’ is a summery tune, and it feels like the most outwardly upbeat song I’ve made, with the most positive message. It made a lot of sense as the first single. It’s a bit of a stark introduction to the new world I’ve created; I’ve made a new record that is as probably as different as it could...
What did Declan McKenna say about "Sympathy"?
It’s funny how it follows on from ‘ Write the News’ I mean, it’s completely intentional, but it has the opposite side of things, like, you don’t need to be clever, you don’t need to show everyone how smart you are, open up and listen to each other and to your mind. Find some value in that. It’s a bi...
