don't let go the coat

i can't be held responsible for blown behaviour

i lost all contact with my only saviour

no-one locked me out because i failed to phone up

i can't bear to live forever like a loner

don't let go the coat

it's easy to be sad: when you lack a partner

but how would i react to a broken heart now

it ain't really true rock and roll unless i'm

hanging onto you and when i hold it next time

i won't let go the coat

i try to explain but you never understand it

i need your body but i can't just demand it

i won't let go like a stray at heel

every lonely wife knows the way i feel

don't let go the coat

never let go the coat

your friends all pass for life is just a market

but you have to finish everything you started

so i live my life tearing down the runway

sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday

don't let go the coat

won't get no more chances - forget the war dances

go blind and hang on - don't try the slang son

never let go the coat.
