“Loose Nut” is the opening song on Black Flag’s fifth studio album of the same name, about a man with a “loose nut” or something wrong with him.
[Verse]
Loose nut in my head
Loose nut rattling my skull
Crying for a human touch
Or anything that'll reach my soul
[Chorus]
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
[Verse]
Loose nut, I want head
The loneliness I dread
Loose nut, you can help
Be with me so I don't hurt myself
[Chorus]
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
[Verse]
Loose nut, no bolt fits
My head is giving me fits
Loose nut lookin' for diversion
Just anything that will let me stick it in
[Chorus]
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
[Verse]
Don't mind my crazy smile
But gimme the phone so I can dial
I'll be back in just a little while
As soon as I get some vertical smile
[Chorus]
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight; my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
