So Far (It's Alright) Lyrics
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.
Yeah it's the way we are
We were smoking by 11 and knocking round town
Bleeding bumps on my arm
We were never good at selling
Couldn't cut down
And I stay with my farther, while his friends die of heart attacks
He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold because the sun's always on his back
I used to think your cool and i believed you had a wonderful vision,
But I soon found out you were telling your friend that your note is on the television
Give's a go on your bike, how you getting along with your life
It's alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright
Oh well I'm coming to the end of 23 she said, is that alright?
And it's coming to the end of you and me she said, is that alright?
And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored?
If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford
I can't be picking up in the town
So get me one off adam if he's sorting you out
I don't really care what all your friends are about, I was always looking for a way to get out,
It's just a reflection on the size of your house, a silver spoon and zoot in your mouth
But you're alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.
So here we are, it's quarter to 11
We're knocking round town
Pushing in, in the bar,you can cry until 11, it's a quarter of an hour
And why stay if you hate it so much?
You think you're well cool,
You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever
Went to school
Don't you want to take me up in the clouds,
Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about,
She was talking marriage so we had to get out,
Now he's making up for it by sleeping about
The ultimatum's a ridiculous joke
I'm gunna pick the option that allows me to smoke
But I'm alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.

Sounds to me its about just trying to have fun and do what he wants in life kinda like how his old man did. He is not wanting to get into committments esp with his girl. Just smoking and getting high and hangin out, is what he is about now. (sounds kinda fun)
From interviews with Matty talking about the town he grew up in, I think it's just about boredom and wanting to do something to get out of the monotonous upper-middle-class life routine. He finds this girl who's kind of edgy and interesting, but she ends up not being as fun as he had hoped. Pretty much, it's just about boredom, same as Chocolate is.
Side note: if you don't watch Matty's interviews, you so should. The guys brilliant and hearing him speak is just so thought-provoking.
