lyrics

I bumped into a Facebook friend, hadn’t seen them since the end
Of School in eighty three, we weren’t that close you see
Outside the eight till late, I was planning my escape
I’d gave it my best try, but then he caught my eye
He said "You alright?", I said "Yeah, I'm alright”
I said "You alright?", he said "Yeah, I'm alright"
Just when I thought he’d walk away
He’d turned and looked at me to say
"Please don't take this the wrong way"
"Are you sure that you’re OK?"

I'm fine, no really I’m fine
Even though I'm well aware I've mentioned it, one too many times
I'm fine, don't make any fuss on my account
I need to reinforce the point
Imploring that you trust the fact
I'm fine

I popped up to see my Mum, something that I hadn’t done
For a little while, was greeted with a smile
I was treated like a King, she’d made a cake and everything
I sat on the settee, might even stay for tea
I said "You alright?", she said "Yeah, I'm alright”
She said "You alright?", I said "Yeah, I'm alright"
Before the coffee had been poured
Stopped in her tracks, beside the door
Expression says she's not so sure
Sensing something more

I'm fine, no really I’m fine
I know that my delivery's emphatic, it's not a warning sign
I'm fine, I can't overstate
Don't take this as some camouflaged attempt from me
To over compensate or the idea that I’m not, because I'm fine

Standing in the bathroom, staring at the three part folding mirror
Wipe the condensation off, that’s not really made it any clearer
No doubt my assured disposition will show
Sure of my own mind, although I'm talking to myself I know

I'm fine, no really I’m fine
Even though I'm well aware I've mentioned it, far too many times
I'm fine, don't make any fuss on my account
I need to reinforce the point
Imploring that you trust the fact
I'm fine, no really I’m fine
I know that my delivery's emphatic, it's not a warning sign
I'm fine, I can't overstate
Don't take this as some camouflaged attempt from me
To over compensate or the idea that I’m not, because I'm fine
