I'm lost In space Floating through a far-off land I saw your face And then I lost it as I sank back down It's a long road, and I need someone to hold my hand 'Cause gravity pulls me down Yeah I need someone to hold my hand I'm crying out to be found I sit Inside Staring at my cup of tea This café's all beige And everybody's got a way to be I watch them all walk by and it's a mystery How people live their lives Is there a way that I can apply to me? It's a long road And I need someone to hold my hand 'Cause gravity pulls me down Yeah I need someone to hold my hand 'Cause everything's coming down Do you need someone to make you stop? I never thought that I could be with you We could have been together But you never knew how I longed to take your hand and walk you home So put your spacesuit on We're going somewhere alone It's a long road And I need someone to hold my hand 'Cause gravity pulls me down Yeah I need someone to hold my hand When gravity pulls me down Do you need someone to hold your hand When gravity pulls you down? Oh I need someone to hold my hand I need to find a way to hold your hand, you hold my hand I need to make things stop 'cause gravity pulls me down Gravity pulls me down

I'm A Taker 03:07
Every day there is no money I can't help it if I don't feel good Can't you do something to make everything go away I got fungus on my foot And I don't need much, OK Just everything you've got and then a little more each day Cause I'm a taker Ooh I'm a taker And I wanna take your pain away Every day I find it funny Empty hole where my gut should be But I know something to make everything go away If you think it should And I don't need much, OK Just everything you've got and then a little more each day 'Cause I'm a taker Ooh I'm a taker Oh I wanna take your pain away

Temper temper What kind of temper, temper? Ill or still temper, temper? What day, what kind of temper? Morning Don’t see me I’m just trying to be me Break it in gently My temper, temper Step out and face it Try to embrace it Crank it up, make it my kind of temper, temper Temper temper What kind of temper, temper? Falling Don’t see me I’m just trying to be me Break it in gently My temper, temper My temper, temper Step out and face it Try to embrace it Crank it up make it my kind of temper, temper Temper, temper What kind of temper, temper? Ill or still temper, temper? What day, what kind of temper, temper? Feed it and stroke it Sometimes provoke it Hate to just choke it My temper Your temper, temper My temper Your temper

I turned it up and put your record on at 33 You sound like Allen Ginsberg speaking very slowly Walk through We’re walking through Still time to change your mind If we knew everything to do No chance No breaks No lucky escapes No happy takes No love No skates on thin ice that breaks No chance No breaks No lucky escapes We’ll make it up as we go along There’s a moral obligation to be wrong sometimes And at the corners of the edges of what’s wrong Are chance And breaks And lucky escapes Chance And breaks And lucky escapes And happy outtakes And love And skates On thin ice that breaks

It says ‘we are unable to provide a replacement drum in this case because the economic analysis indicates you would not recover the cost of the drum during your remaining predicted lifecycle. In line with government policy on insufficiently productive economic units we therefore recommend you apply to the Hardship Fund for Non-Viable Washing Machines for assistance with the cost of a replacement drum.’
