[Intro]
\nToo much slack
\n(You’d better look out)
\nYou’d better stand back
\n(Watch out for the fallout)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTakes up suddenly
\n(Like a real jerk)
\nEnd or the rope… utterly
\n(Ends men at work)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSqueak
\n(Eeeeeeeeeak)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nToo much slack
\n(You’d better look out)
\nYou’d better stand back
\n(Watch out for the fallout)
\n… too much slack<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLeading to a shock load
\n(Gonna explode)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nShock loading failure
\n(Brings sudden tension)
\nAnd, did I mention…
\n(Not sure to endure)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSqueak
\n(Eeeeeeeeeak)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nToo much slack
\n(You’d better look out)
\nYou’d better stand back
\n(Watch out for the fallout)
\n… too much slack<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nLeading to a shock load
\n(Gonna explode)
\nMaybe better not
\n(Get pulled too taught)
\nGuess we’re gonna see
\n(Elasticity)
\nWill it set us free
\n(Permanently)
\nSqueak
\n(Eeeeeeeeeak)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nToo much slack in a cable or rope can lead to a shock load when the slack is suddenly taken up, causing damage or failure like broken wires, crushing, and kinking. Other issues include reduced lifespan, corrosion, and failure to correctly identify the location of a break, especially in safety-critical applications like mining or subsea cable laying.<\/p>\n
