Grip

From The Age of Anxiety2017

Lyrics

Grip

[Verse 1]

Time is short

Time is long

It's a flip of the coin

He knows I'll never know

Sometimes right

Always wrong

It's a flip of the coin

I rather love the fall

[Chorus]

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

To grip on tight to everything I see

[Verse 2]

We row on

Facing back

It's a change of the tide

I know I'll never know

Hard to tell where we'll land

It's a change of the tide

I'd rather land ashore

[Chorus]

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

[Bridge]

And still I give it all

And still I give it all away

And still I give it all

And still I give it all away

[Chorus]

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

I don't want to feel the need

To grip on tight to everything I see

To grip on tight

To grip on tight to everything I see

From Dork

Pixx on Dork

Pixx, Marika Hackman and Fran Lobo are set to play a special International Women's Week event next week

They'll play London's Old Blue Last on Thursday, 4th March.

As she drops her second album, Pixx is stepping up big time: "For years I put myself in powerless positions"

Hannah Rodgers chats religion, pop bangers and album number three.

Pixx - Small Mercies

‘Small Mercies’ is an undeniable success.

Pixx: "It's a fucking hard time to be a young person"

Life getting you down? Don’t worry, Pixx has your back.
