Hi Tom,
Where I ran into issues with this was the L2 refrain, for those familiar with the show L2 is the exact refrain--all 7 annoying syllables of it. I wasn't trying for perfect IT because I was trying to maintain the original lyric. The because that Milo suggested isn't a bad compromise and it would allow me to smooth lines out. That alone will probably fix some of the issues. I'll play around with it.
Which brings us to the it. I understand and sympathize with your point. The it provides me versatility as the context provides a different meaning each time accept as you've seen in line 1. There's no context in the beginning. I'm open to alternatives that allow a similar versatility. Again I'll give "it"
some thought.
Best,
Todd
