This song is awesome! I love the back-and-forth between the lead and backup singers, and the great "you need more" chanting. Yeah, Prometeo is on the right track about the meaning. Here's my interpretation:
The song is speaking to some one in a "rut," probably really jaded, depressed, or even afraid to get out and meet people. Either way, the person is feeling unfulfilled in their life and they "need more."
The first bit, "Boy it's tough getting on in the world//when the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl," could be about when day turns to night and they're all alone in their bed, longing for some intimacy.
The chorus is about not needing all the superficial and shallow things that people might gravitate towards in their attempts at finding love. The line "Too much of anything//is never enough." Is about how no matter how much materialism/vanity/fame you pursue, it'll never be enough to make up for a lack of love in your life, since you're looking in the wrong places! But hell, as Prometeo stated, the song's a bit cynical in stating that these things do help a bit :P
At the end of the "you need more" chanting sections, the last line is "you need love." BTW, the music video is equally incredible! Sort of reminds me of old-school sidescroller video games mixed with the randomness of Monty Python.
P.S. Haha, I always find it amusing when the first few people are surprised that nobody else is making comments... it's a new song, and this website isn't that well known! What do you expect?!
