lyrics

Meaning
I’ve got purpose
I’ve got purpose
I’ve got meaning
My bedroom needs a cleaning
My accountant needs a calling
Not going to go to court
But I’m going to be balling
So I’m rolling out of bed
And I am bouncing from this party
Was feeling sort of high
Feeling very sky larky
Talking in bed like I’m dating Philip Larkin
But I feel like I need to fly home
And get started
Already clarted
Room is too cluttered
Need to have a clear out
And unchain the fetters
Licking all my wounds now
All these brown letters
Plucking on my plumage
I’m pruning
I’m pruning
Missed the election
And that wedding reception
I was training my pectorals
And my abdominal section
Got a six pack coming
Had no packet for six days
Got a sick day coming
And I’ll still be getting paid
I’ve got purpose
I’ve got meaning
I’ve got meaning
I’ve got purpose
Getting better
Nothing worser
Than no meaning
And no purpose
Getting practice
Getting proper
Getting principles
Professional
Realising potential
And releasing new material
Playing and I’m working
And I’m partying and earning
Meaning what I say
And doing what I do on
Purpose
