Eat, sleep,
And breathe that you're full of the stuff
Go bag it, tie it up tight
Wheat-meat-dairy-free, t-total happy-clappy
So happy clappy high on life
You should try it, you know
Go on while no one's looking
Imogen begins by musing on her general indignation towards hypocrites–in a rather cheeky fashion–by making innuendos towards the proverb "You're full of shit." In addition, she eggs on the person by tempting them with the probability of remaining unseen.
In context: "Eat, sleep, breathe that you're full of that stuff[you're full of shit]"
Aha!
Gotcha Now!
Caught you red-handed in a biscuit tin...
Cost you to keep me quiet (Ah....)
Here, Imogen literally catches someone going against their word. As she said in her video, this verse is directly related to her friend which stoutly claimed to avoid wheat, meat, and dairy; yet, Imogen saw her eating a biscuit with wheat in it.
Golden boy boots, pocket pedal stool
Picking sharp smart moves
Plastic, tin can, paper separator
Busy bee wave, wave save the planet flag
But sneaky in suburbia...
Aha!
Candid Camera!
Hook, line and sinker for a 4-wheel drive!
Cost you to keep me quiet... Keep me quiet (Keep me quiet)
Imogen employs her disdain for fallible politicians in this catchy verse–in particular, those who are devilishly opportune and advocate environmental conservation, but, go against their policies by driving gas-guzzlers.
Nicest, sweetest, upmost in everythingest,
So charming, very charming
Well read, can play the fool
No one's ill at ease and put their
Deepest Swiss bank trust in you
No one saw it coming...
Aaaha! Aaaaaaha! Aaaaaaaaaha!
You killed a man....!
...Cost you to keep me quiet (Laa-aaa-laa)
La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, La-la-la
La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la La-la-la-la la
The song crescendos to this wonderful high in which Imogen criticizes a wolf–sly man–wearing a bunny's mask–"so charming, very charming. Well read, can play the fool." Imogen, being the intelligent person who she is, most likely referenced some historical body or a recent hoodwinking here.
Lastly, the song ends with a bang on the piano. This bang has a lot implication to it as it encompasses the intended meaning of the song.
Imogen specifically said that she took the piano out of the song because it allowed it to breathe. However, she conspicuously made the piano notable.
As such, I think the intended meaning of this song is that WE ARE ALL HYPOCRITES; regardless of the fact that we seem to catch other people in the act more than ourselves.

Hope you enjoyed! I love this song to bits! :)
