Withdrawn is track ten on the 1986 James album Stutter.
It featured in Model Team International’s set supporting The Fall at Manchester Poly in 1980. It was Factory’s preferred choice to be the band’s first single, but James insisted on recording What’s The World instead.

Withdrawn, muscles all tense
Nothing flows for the self-obsessed
Feel all washed up, feel all washed up, feel all washed up, feel all washed up
Restless, can't sit still
A mental state, or a physical ill
Toxic, bones all cracked
Step on a bus, get a panic attack
It's all that you took me so high
Now getting out of bed is enough to make me cry
Saps all my energy
That's how it used to be
You came just in time
Feel all washed up, feel all washed up
Need a wash up, need a wash up, need a wash up, need a wash up
Need a wash, need a wash, need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash up
Restless, muscles all ache
So tense, tense, watch me shiver and shake
Not a dance but a scream by the body at the stake
Pierce my heart, something's gonna break
Pierce my heart, something's gonna break
Days when you cannot deny
Crawling out of bed is enough to make you cry
That's how it used to be before you came by
Screwed up at school
Ate bad food
Too many TV viewers live in you
I'm finished
Need a wash up, need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash, need a wash
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
Nothing flows for the self-obsessed
Feel all washed up, feel all washed up, feel all washed up, feel all washed up
Restless, can't sit still
A mental state, or a physical ill
Toxic, bones all cracked
Step on a bus, get a panic attack
It's all that you took me so high
Now getting out of bed is enough to make me cry
Saps all my energy
That's how it used to be
You came just in time
Feel all washed up, feel all washed up
Need a wash up, need a wash up, need a wash up, need a wash up
Need a wash, need a wash, need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash up
Restless, muscles all ache
So tense, tense, watch me shiver and shake
Not a dance but a scream by the body at the stake
Pierce my heart, something's gonna break
Pierce my heart, something's gonna break
Days when you cannot deny
Crawling out of bed is enough to make you cry
That's how it used to be before you came by
Screwed up at school
Ate bad food
Too many TV viewers live in you
I'm finished
Need a wash up, need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash, need a wash
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Too much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving touch
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
Need a wash up, need a wash
Need a wash, need a wash
