Please Don't Touch
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't play pretty tunes my hair is always messy
And I can't walk in a straight line
My path is always always gritty
And I like to play piano but it's often out of tune
And there are lots of broken fingers
In the dark parts of my room
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
Coz it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Love me tender love me true
Show your colours black and blue
Make another cupper on the sofa eating marmalade
Hate to pry now it's forgotten
Feeling strange and looking rotten
Fighting like a soldier over skinny jeans and pick 'n' mix
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
Coz it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Don't stop
Stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
Fickle like a fruit machine
Playing with the cruise ship queen
Taking all his apples
And then going to play hide and seek
If you feel me please don't brake me
Please don't let that rat man take me
Coz he thinks I'm weird
Well what's a girl to do
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
Coz it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind sir
I think you lost yours quicker
