Lozenge of Love
i am gone
everybody's raging
and these fruits
they still taste of poison

i won't be around
when you really need me
i can't sleep
why can't someone hold me?
i need warm
my restless body cracks and moans

i won't have the strength
when you really need me

Titled after a line from Philip Larkin's poem "Sad Steps," this song was debuted during an acoustic set at the FNAC Auditorium in Nancy, France. It's another example of a Radiohead track where the lyrics were changed radically from their original form when the song was recorded for the EP. This beautiful acoustic number contains touching lyrics about not always being there for others, but sometimes needing others to be there for you.
