Danny has stated in a few interviews that he wrote this song out of frustration when a group of "chavs" were continuously verbally abusing him, his girlfriend and his family on a friday night out, 'I think I'm gonna lose it, lose it, lose it' highlights his difficulty to restrain his temper at times like those. The line, 'they come alive when I work the nights' was inspired by his mother's friend who's shop was burgled after dark; gangs 'come alive at night time'.
In reference to the song, I particularly remember him saying, "The world is so messed up. Street crime and sht like that is only one of the problems mate. We all know we need to sort our world out but most of us are too fcking lazy to do anything about anything" hence the line, 'change the world..'
When the Night At The Museum directors approached McFly, the group decided the song fitted perfectly with the movie because the 'lose it' line can be interpeted in more than one way. For that particular movie, 'I think im gonna lose it' simply refers to losing your mind. They made a few alterations to the lyrics so it would coinside with the plot even more.
Having said all that, I personally often prefer interpreting the eargasmic 'lose it! lose it!' and 'i'll give you something you can scream about' lines in the sexual sense. Haha.
