Radiohead - I Can't

Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down

Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

So many things that keep, that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

Radiohead - Decks Dark

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back, and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound, you've ever heard
And all we trapped, ragdoll cloth people
We are helpless to resist
Into our darkest hour

But it was just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle, and so we crumble
A ten ton head made of wet sand, oh, this dread circumference
You've gotta be kidding me, the grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass, it was just a laugh, just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is, in split infinities

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Into your darkest hour

When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
Sweet times
Sweet darling
Sweet times

Radiohead - Last Flowers

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief
Relief, relief

And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief
Relief, relief
Relief, relief

It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Radiohead - Videotape

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red, blue, green
In red, blue, green

You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen

Radiohead - Anyone Can Play Guitar

Destiny, destiny, protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair
Grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

I will shape myself into your pocket

Invisible

Do what you want

Do what you want

I will shrink and I will disappear

I will slip into the groove

And cut me off

And cut me off

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

And now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

I can't kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice

And while the cat is away

Do what we want

Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I set you free

I set you free

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

Oh, the bird that's flown into my room

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

I dance around the pit

The darkness is beneath

I can't kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

Radiohead - Identikit

A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be, oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be, oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be, oh, me

The sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all
Sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all

But now I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want
When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know

Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain

The pieces of a ragdoll mankind
That we can create, that we can create, that we can
Pieces of a ragdoll mankind
That we can create, that we can create

But when I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want
When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know

Radiohead - Myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home

Holding half a head

Proceeded to show it off

To all his new found friends

He said “I’ve been where i liked

I slept with who I liked

She ate me up for breakfast

And screwed me in a vice

But now I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied”

I sat in the cupboard

And wrote it down in neat

They were cheering and waving

Cheering and waving, cheering and waving

Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis

But it got edited fucked up

Strangled, beaten up

Used as a photo in Time magazine

Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

“I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied

Don’t know why

I feel so skinned alive.”

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive

I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis

You should put me in a home or you should put me down

I got myxomatosis

I got myxomatosis

“Now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars”

That wasn’t my intention, I did it for a reason

It must have got mixed up

Strangled, beaten up

I got myxomatosis

I got myxomatosis

“I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied”

Radiohead - My Iron Lung

Faith, you’re driving me away
You do it everyday
You don’t mean it
But it hurts like hell

My brain says I’m recieving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung

We’re too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can’t you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We’ll just hum

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

And if you’re frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it’s OK
And if you’re frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it’s OK

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Radiohead - (Nice Dream)

They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy

Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream

I call up my friend, the good angel
But she’s out with her answerphone
She says she would love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all

Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream

If you think that you’re strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think that you’re strong enough
If you think you belong enough

[Just as well, Just as well, Just as well]

Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream

Radiohead - 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.

And you can laugh a spineless laugh,
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you.

And 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.

Radiohead - Backdrifts

We’re rotten fruit
We’re damaged goods
What the hell, we’ve got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We’re backdrifters

This far but no further
I’m hanging off a branch
I’m teetering on the brink
Oh honey sweet
So full of sleep
I’m backsliding

You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do

All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you’re backtracking

Ah ah ah
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our, ah
You fell into a

We’re rotten fruit
We’re damaged goods
What the hell, we’ve got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We’re backdrifters

Radiohead - Airbag

In the next world war
in a jack knifed juggernaut,
I am born again.

In the neon sign,
scrolling up and down,
I am born again.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In a deep deep sleep,
of the innocent,
I am born again.

In a fast German car,
I’m amazed that I survived,
an airbag saved my life.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

Radiohead - Motion Picture Soundtrack

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back 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

Radiohead - Up On The Ladder

I'm stuck in the TARDIS
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute, snake charming
The next in a motorcade

All the right moves and
In the right places
Watch me dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the strings

Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time

Up on the ladder
We're all tied to a stake
Up on the ladder
We wait for your mistake
Up on the ladder
Try to call out your name
Up on the ladder
You're all the fucking same

Radiohead - Desert Island Disk

Now as I go upon my way
So let me go upon my way
Born of a light
Born of a light

The wind rushing round my open heart
An open ravine
With my spirit white
Totally alive
And my spirit light

Through an open doorway
Across a street
To another life
And catching my reflection in a window
Switching on a light
One I didn't know
Totally alive
Totally released

Waking, waking up from shutdown
From a thousand years of sleep
Yeah you, you know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

Standing on the edge of you
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Different types of love
Different types of love
Different types of love
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible

Radiohead - Codex

Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around

Just dragonflies
Fantasize
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong

Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water's clear and innocent
The water's clear and innocent

Radiohead - The Bends

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane
Fall asleep on against the window pane
My blood will thicken

I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
'Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
But who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?

My baby's got the bends, oh no
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines
To blow me away, to blow me sky high

My baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?

Radiohead - Dollars and Cents

There are better things to talk about,
Be constructive.
Bear witness we can use,
Be constructive with your blues.
Even when it's only warnings.
Even when you turn the water green.

Why won't you quiet down?
Maybe I want peace and honesty
Why won't you quiet down?
Maybe I want to live in the children's land
And you know maybe, maybe I
Why won't you quiet down?
Maybe I'll wander the promised land
I want peace and honesty
Why won't you quiet down?
I want to live in the promised land
And maybe wander the children's land
Quiet down! Yeah, and there, there we can free

You don't live in a business world
And you never go out and you never stay.
We all have goals in a liberal world,
Living in times when I could stand it, babe.
All over, baby's crying
It'll all be, baby, I can see out of here,
All over the planet's dead,
All over the planet, so let me out of here.
All over the, all over the, all over the, all over the...

Quiet down
We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence
And the mark and the yen, and yeah
Why won't you quiet down?
We're gonna crack your little souls
We're gonna crack your little souls
Why won't you quiet down?
We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence
And the pounds and pence, and yeah
Why won't you quiet down?
We're gonna crack your little souls
Crack your little souls
We are the dollars and cents.
