Lyrics

[Intro, spoken]

Alright—

No panic, no drama, no doctors—

Everyone breathe in…

No, not you.

[Verse 1]

I’m perfectly fine, says the man in the bin

Lost my house keys but I’ve broken back in

I talk to my shadow, it owes me a tenner

My life’s a mess but it’s nicely arranged

I set off alarms by being awake

I make bad decisions for goodness’ sake

I’ve got skeletons dancing, they’re asking for rent

My brain’s on strike but it still takes offence

[Pre-Chorus]

They say “calm down,” I say “define it”

I tried meditation, my thoughts declined it

Chorus

I’m perfectly fine, don’t call anyone

The doctor ran away so I must’ve won

I’m perfectly fine, can’t you tell by my grin?

It’s a cry for help if you listen it in

[Post-Chorus]

PER-FECT-LY FINE

[shout] DEFINE “FINE”

[Verse 2]

I’ve got big plans, they fit in my sock

Ambition’s alive but it’s missing a clock

I read self-help but it read me instead

It said “mate, lie down” then crawled out my head

I keep it together with sticky-back tape

My future’s a blur but it’s well-priced escape

I’ve got confidence issues, they’re confident too

They show up on time, I don’t know what to do

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m not confused, I’m creatively wrong

I’ve been late on time my whole life long

[Chorus]

I’m perfectly fine, absolutely great

I missed my own birthday, arrived early late

I’m perfectly fine, if fine means “a state”

Of mild confusion and screaming politely

[Breakdown / Ska Drop, half-spoken, fast]

Who’s in charge?

Not me.

Who’s responsible?

He’s on lunch.

Who made this mess?

Collective effort.

[Verse 3]

I’ve got friends in my head, they don’t get along

One says “give up,” one writes protest songs

I lose every argument, even alone

I tried being brave but I left it at home

I follow my heart, it’s got no sense of direction

Took a wrong turn, joined a pyramid scheme

They say “read the room,” I brought the wrong glasses

Now everything’s fine, just slightly on fire

[Pre-Chorus, build it up]

I’m not a problem, I’m proof of concept

This is what happens when hope pays rent

[Final Chorus, BIG / faster / messier]

I’m perfectly fine, don’t write it down

If this is a breakdown, I’m wearing the crown

I’m perfectly fine, now join in the lie

Shout it loud so we all feel better inside

[Outro, spoken, fading chaos]

I’m fine.

He’s fine.

We’re all fine.

…Right?

[horns keep playing too long]
