are the lyrics of the demos included in the reissues. if so, could someone please elaborate on the themes of Don't Lose It? perhaps this is all explained in the sleeve, but is there an anti-commercialism trend to the lyrics? or is it simply about not letting some jerk nail some chick?

Nothing terribly illuminating in Jarvis' comments in the sleevenotes: "I think we were going for a kind of Barry White thing on this. It's amusing how I do "lose it" towards the end of the song. Nice keyboards from Mark - who of course became a full member of Pulp during the recording of this album."

The lyrics as printed: "Do it. Don't lose it. He wants to use it but don't change a single thing. He wants to put it down on paper and put it in a song to sing: how your father went away, how your mother got her way, how your brothers never let you join in. Didn't do too well at school, feel a failure but you'll be famous if you let him touch you. Oh, don't lose it babe, don't go too straight, don't throw it away, don't think it's all wrong. No don't lose it babe. Don't throw it away, it means more than a song. They're pinheads. Have you met them? They've got nothing to say, oh, he just stands there in the corner and never dares join in the game. he wants to take you out to find out what it's all about 'cos he can see that you've got something but don't let him take you in, he's only after just one thing and that's the thing that makes you different. Oh, don't lose it babe, etc. Lose it. These things are worthless, you see them in a magazine, trainers, slip-dresses, but you know what it means. They want a piece of something they've never felt, something they can't have and in the end they want to suck you dry, yes they wanna wanna wanna, oh, don't lose it babe, etc. Don't lose it"
