High and Dry
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you,
You will be the one screaming out
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing you ever had has gone away
Packt like Sardines in a Crushed tin box
After years of waiting nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize
I'm a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x2)
After years of waiting
After years of waiting nothing came
And you realize you're looking, looking in the wrong place
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x2)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x3)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x3)
After years of waiting
You're a reasonable man
Get off our case (x3)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x3)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x3)
I'm a reasonable man,
Get off my case (x3)

A Reminder
If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this
Remind me that
Once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me
And if I sat down and crossed my arms
Hold me until this song
Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take the chair and start to talk shit
If I get old remind me of this
That night we kissed and I really meant it
Whatever happens if we're still speaking
Pick up the phone
Play me this song
True Love Waits
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave, don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love wins
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave, don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kiss and smile
Just lonely, lonely..
Just lonely, lonely..
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I can't even recognize you
I will see you in the next life
Like Spinning Plates
While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river
Ry.
Yey. Radiohead is releasing a live album in November. *MOSH*

late at night when I'm driving
take me on board their beautiful ship
show me the world as I'd love to see it"~ Radiohead, Subterranian Homesick Alien
 
Like spinning plates is one of the most magical songs, espically when live, what a magical moment!!!

TOTALLY! I was at Blossom the first time they played it live. I heard it during the sound check and though it'd be a LONG shot for them to finally play it. But they did. And damn.... I think I was one of the only people to know all the words.. people around me were asking, "is this a new song, what is this?" hehe. I think they are releasing the Berlin version on the "I Might Be Wrong EP"
Exit Music (for a film)
Wake.. from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape
Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone
Sing.. us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill
You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
Ry.

The lyrics alone don't show how powerful this song is.. . . . . ....

how to disappear completely
That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....
 
mmm hmm they are amazing. I think ‘exit music for a song’ is perhaps the most grandiose, the most tragic, the most epic and desolate and just sublime songs ever. the minute and a half of tense, muted, music, yorke’s voice sounding so close and fragile, like a whisper of suggestion… and then it builds, that unstoppable lolloping bassline urging the track forwards like riding the crest of some huge wave of emotion… and then it breaks – ‘and now, we are one..’ the world truly stopped spinning when I first heard it. there is nothing else like it for the sheer release of emotion, it just explodes into this soundscape of despair as the wave crashes forth onto the cold grey pebbles of OK computer… then slowly, it trickles back, sounding even more empty and hopeless than before.
party on thom!

AMEN.
it's nice to wake up to someone who knows what they are talking about. i think i listened to exit music 11 times in a row late last night.

dr seuss...you are now my new best friend.
exit music is my all time favorite radiohead song. but when i first heard like spinning plates, it came close (but not quite...i know you radiohead fans will know what i mean)...
a delicate balance...
this summer, i used to crawl onto the top rung of the railing of my 7th floor balcony and blast like spinning plates as i balanced there and looked down on the river. it was irony at its finest.
this is really happening...
