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 'Cause 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 colors black and blue Make another crupper 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 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 'Cause 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 'Cause 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

    General Comment:I think the song may be about her mental instability and how it affects the people she interacts with. Polly Scattergood's written songs about similar topics before, so it's not a stretch.

    General Comment:This is a fantastic song, but I'm not sure what exactly it could be about. The chorus seems to hint that somebody close to her died, but the rest of the song doesn't offer much up in the way of supporting details. Maybe it's just to create an atmosphere of her life and stuff, which I really like.
