You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way
Can I really lose control

Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once
With all the dust

Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know

Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once

Ahh, Ahh (Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo)

If I cut you down to
A thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good
Left of you

Ahh, Ahh (Ooo)
Ahh, Ahh (Ooo)
Ahh, Ahh (Ooo)
Ahh, Ahh (Ooo)


Quote from Amy:
Terry uses a lot of delay and noises. His guitar playing is really creepy! He also uses a lot of half-step two chords, which I love. I felt like I wasn't really allowed to use stuff like that before, because Ben didn't like it. But songs like "Lose Control" go from C to a C sharp, back and forth. I love those. It's that Portishead influence.
