ok, please take a short trip to
http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/discography/EHRLP5.htm#losing where
you will find the lyrics as on the album sleeve live on the web and awaiting your
attention.

to quote;

"And in the first moment of her waking up
She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it
When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up
She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing
Yeah she's losing it"

but, i think what you made the original lyrics in the end qualifies as a cool
mis-hearing :)
