[Intro — icy synth pulse, melodic bass enters] Everybody's dressed for the occasion Everybody knows their part There's a little room for improvisation If you know where not to start The champagne's doing overtime The conversation's doing less Everybody's looking perfectly fine In something slightly overdressed [Verse 2 — bass becomes more melodic, guitar accents] There's a man who knows a man who knows Exactly what you need He can make a little problem disappear For a very reasonable fee And the girl beside him laughs on cue She's heard the story twice She says, "Darling, don't be difficult It's only money, it's not life" [Pre-Chorus — synths rise, drums tighten] And everybody's very happy That's what everybody says Nobody wants to spoil the evening By discussing what comes next [Chorus — full electronic groove, wide synths] We're doing fine, we're doing fine Everything is right on time Keep your head up, watch the signs Smile for the camera, we'll be fine We're doing fine, we're doing fine Nothing's wrong that money can't define If you don't ask and I don't mind We're doing fine [Verse 3 — pull back, bass prominent] There's a little book beside the bedside With a little list of rules Some are written down in pencil Some are handed down at school You can have whatever you can carry You can say whatever sounds polite You can call it being practical If it helps you sleep at night [Bridge — stripped back, bass and distant synth] I wouldn't say we're cynical That wouldn't be polite We're simply very sensible About choosing when to fight And if the door is slightly open Well, you wouldn't leave it wide There's always someone coming through it And they might be standing on your side [Final Chorus — larger, layered vocals] We're doing fine, we're doing fine Everything is right on time Keep your head up, watch the signs Smile for the camera, we'll be fine We're doing fine, we're doing fine Nothing's wrong that money can't define If you don't ask and I don't mind We're doing fine [Outro — drums fade, melodic bass remains] We're doing fine We're doing fine That's what everybody says We're doing fine
