There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store

Do you remember before?

Are there locks on your door?
Is there anyone here,

And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store

A song for/about Charles Manson.
If you think you've found an answer
Inside a 45
You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise
Speaking on the record
Backwards just to you
First the curses then perverted verses…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
