POLLY SCATTERGOOD – NITROGEN PINK
http://www.pollyscattergood.com – MUTE Records.

My acoustic interpretation of Polly’s debut single. Not in the original key but can be
with capo…

Intro: D – Bm – G – A

CHORUS:
Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays

They’re these sweet rotting memories

That keep you alive.

Nitrogen Pink, please.

Throw me a moment just to

Get my composure and to

Stamp on a fly.

VERSE:
And the boys had their pearls

And the girls had tobacco

And everybody was laughing at you

Singing isn’t it, isn’t it, isn’t it

Such a funny old world

When tragedy strikes

…and thats pretty much the progression for both the verses and chorus for the rest of
song. Let me know if you want the full lyrics.

Please Don?t Touch

Polly Scattergood

Intro

Verse

Can?t play pretty tunes, my head is always messy. And I
Can?t walk in a straight line my path is always, always gritty. And I
Like to play pi- ano, but it?s often out of tune. And there are
Lots of broken fingers in the dark parts of my room

Chorus

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 al-
though I lost my mind sir, I think you lost yours quicker. Please don?t
touch.

Verse

Love me tender love me true show your colours black and blue,
make another cuppa on the sofa eating marmalade
and I hate to cry, no it?s forgotten, feeling strange
and looking rotten
fighting like a soldier over skinny jeans and pick and mix
Chorus

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 al-
though I lost my mind sir, I think you lost yours quicker. Please don?t
touch.

Verse

Fickle like a foos playing with the cruise ship queen
taking all his apples when they?re going to play hide and seek.
Unless you feel me please don?t break me please don?t let the rat man take me
?cause he thinks I?m weird, well what?s a girl to do

Chorus

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 al-
though I lost my mind sir, I think you lost yours quicker. Please Don’t
Touch Don?t stop and stare Yes I
Thank you for your kindness but there?s sadness in the air. Please don?t
touch.
