I'm old enough to remember this song when it was first released. I loved these guys in the late 80's. This is the best track on the album. The song is about being kicked around and forced to keep moving in this autocratic economy that is designed to keep us sleeping at night and rising early and getting up out of our beds to go out and conduct meaningless business by performing meaningless work. Being 'Ocean Size' means being immovable and allowed to laze in the sun like the surf bums Perry hung with back then.
