==Versions==
This is the original album version as it appears on the CD and vinyl editions of ''The Fragile.'' Flowing directly either from the introduction (CD) or ending (vinyl) of "[[10 Miles High]]," it opens immediately with the verse drum loop, synthesized bass, and manipulated guitars for eight bars before reducing to the first verse, accompanying Reznor's vocals with only the drum loop and a bass riff. Other synthesizer and guitar layers join in to lead into the pre-chorus, with Reznor accompanying himself as a backing vocalist. The chorus is sung low, almost spoken over a decaying synthesizer note, leading into the second verse and pre-chorus. The final chorus is extended, featuring a reversed string loop. The song stops as suddenly as it began.
===Please (+appendageInstrumental)===[[Image:Nindotcom991013.jpg|thumb|right|A photo from [[nin.com]] during Released exclusively through Apple Music, then later on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1.'' era showing an in-studio CD-R featuring " ===Please Part 2" (presumably renamed to "+Appendage") and "[[The New Flesh]]."]]===Found exclusively on Exclusive to the audio cassette version of ''The Fragile,'' this version adds an extra section to the end of the original, bridged by two seconds of silence. The appendage appears to be layers of the original, remixed combines "Please" with harsher electronic sounds by "[[Charlie Clouser+Appendage]]. It also contains extra lyrics, including "never be enough" repeated and "I'm going down [fast]." This additional section seems to have been initially titled "Please Part 2," according to a photo originally published on nin.com during ''The Fragile'' era (see image at right).
==Live==
The song was performed several times during the Fragility v1.0 and With Teeth Spring Arena tours. It was also performed in soundchecks for [[Performance 2007]]. "+Appendage" [[NIN songs never played live|has never been played live]].
==Lyrics==
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
(Well guess what?)
The world is over and I realized realize it was all in my head
Now everything is clear
To fill me up
The third lyric line of the first verse was changed on the actual recording:
Push it away but it all comes back again
The sixth line of the second verse only appears in the album booklet for ''The Fragile''.
