Lyrics

She’s Lost Control (Peel Session)

[Verse 1]

Confusion in her eyes that says it all

She's lost control

And she's clinging to the nearest passer by

She's lost control

And she gave away the secrets of her past

And said I've lost control again

And a voice that told her when and where to act

She said I've lost control again

[Verse 2]

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said

I've lost control again

And how I'll never know just why or understand

She said I've lost control again

And she screamed out kicking on her side and said

I've lost control again

And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die

She said I've lost control

[Chorus]

She's lost control again

She's lost control

She's lost control again

She's lost control

[Verse 3]

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case

And say she's lost control again

And she showed up all the errors and mistakes

And said I've lost control again

But she expressed herself in many different ways

Until she lost control again

And walked upon the edge of no escape

And laughed I've lost control

[Chorus]

She's lost control again

She's lost control

She's lost control again

She's lost control
