[Verse 1]
Mrs Green talks to pigeons on the corner
Says they listen better than her son
Postman’s late again, blames the weather
While the sirens sing their morning song
Man in a suit’s shouting at a lamppost
Kids are dancing round a broken sign
Everyone’s acting like it’s normal
But nothing here is feeling fine
---
[Pre-Chorus]
They say “keep calm, carry on”
Like we don’t see what’s going wrong
We just laugh it off, play along
Tap our feet to the end-of-days song
---
[CHORUS]
We’re perfectly mad and we love it that way
Dancing through the wreckage of another dull day
Call it insane, call it sad
But we’re perfectly—perfectly mad
---
[Verse 2]
Man on the telly says “don’t panic”
While the picture’s fading out
Neighbours arguing over nothing
Still politely screaming loud
Phones are ringing, nobody answers
Everyone’s talking but nobody hears
So we raise a glass to the madness
And toast to our collective fears
---
[Pre-Chorus]
They draw lines and make new rules
Say we’re clever, say we’re fools
But if this is how it’s meant to be
Then madness looks good on you and me
---
[CHORUS]
We’re perfectly mad and we love it that way
Laughing at the chaos like it’s cabaret
Call it insane, call it sad
But we’re perfectly—perfectly mad
---
[MIDDLE 8 / BREAKDOWN]
Clap your hands, lose your head
Say it loud, say it dead
If this world’s lost control
Then madness is rock ’n’ roll
[Half-time feel → big build back in]
---
[FINAL CHORUS, BIGGER, ROWDIER]
We’re perfectly mad and we love it that way
Singing hallelujah to a crooked parade
Call it insane, call it sad
But we’re perfectly—perfectly mad
Perfectly mad!
Perfectly mad!
