Lost Control - The Stranglers

When I thought I had lost control

Returned to scenes of crime

Asked someone there if they’d seen something pure

It was a friend of mine

Walked around with bad thoughts in my mind

Didn’t feel quite whole

Asked a big issue seller on the underground

Have I lost control

I hear voices everywhere

Voices in my head

Have I lost control

In a jam going nowhere fast

On the Euston Road

My life is ticking away in a car

Think I might explode

I hear voices everywhere

Voices in my head

Have I lost control

There’s one way traffic and it’s going nowhere

I am bruised and battered but I just don’t care

People always telling me to go with the flow

People always telling me what I already know

They say what matters are dollars and cents

I hear voices everywhere

Voices in my head

Have I lost control.
