lyrics

hold my hand and i’ll
love you for ever
i’m feeling quite down
i’m under the weather

so dry off my clothes
and hand me my dressing gown

please hold me up when i’m old and i’m withered
i’m falling apart will you hand me the glue
my own memory is like tar and like feathers
the only thing holding me up is you

it’s alright from what i can tell.
i’m swimming in heaven not drowning in hell
and it’s alright from where i’m sitting
but you’re the only thing that keeps me from quitting

so hold on tight cause i’m falling so quickly
the screw’s coming lose and i’m falling apart
i’m sad all the time and i’m far too clingy
but you will always have my heart

and i drink too much and i’m rude when i’m hungry
and i don’t wash my clothes - when they smell of smoke
i don’t have a job and i’m no good at nothing
but i’ll find one in time and this will all be a joke

and i’m alright, i know i’ll get better
its raining on me but your my umbrella
you keep me safe from all the bad weather
your the only thing holding me together.
