Prompt / Lyrics
[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!
