(Don't) Lose It
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.
Do it.
Don't lose it.
He wants to use it but don't change a single thing.
He wants to put it down on paper and put it in a song to sing: How your Father went away.
How your Mother got her way.
How your brothers never let you join in.
Didn't do too well at school, feel a failure but you'll be famous if you let him touch you.
Don't lose it babe, don't go too straight, don't throw it away, no don't think it's all wrong.
No, no, don't lose it babe.
Don't throw it away, it means more than a song.
They're pinheads.
Have you met them?
But they've got nothing to say.
Oh he just stands there in the corner and never dares join the game.
He wants to take you out to find out what it's all about 'cos he can see that you've got something.
But don't let him take you in - he's only after just one thing and that's the thing that makes you different.
Don't lose it babe, don't go too straight, don't throw it away, no don't think it's all wrong.
Baby, don't lose it babe, don't throw it away, it means more than a song.
Don't lose it.
Lose it.
These things are worthless - you see them in a magazine.
T-t-trainers, slip-slip dresses, but you know what it means.
They want a piece of something they have never felt, something they can't have and they go.
In the end they want to suck you dry 'cos even though they turned out wrong.
And you don't want to, don't want to, don't want to... Don't lose it baby, don't go that way, don't go too straight, don't think it's all wrong.
Baby, don't lose it babe, don't throw it away, it means more than a song.
Don't lose it.
Don't lose it.
Lose it (x7)
