Thom Yorke

Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big vis eat the little ones
The big vis eat the little ones
Not my problem give me some

u can try the best u can
If u try the best u can
The best u can is good enough
[x2]

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm

If u try the best u can
If u try the best u can
The best u can is good enough
[x2]

I'd really like to help u man
I'd really like to help u man.....
Nervous messed up marionette
Floating around on a prison ship

If u try the best u can
If u try the best u can
The best u can is good enough
If u try the best u can
If u try the best u can
Dinosaurs roaming the earth [x3]

No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No

I don't know why u bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
(By the way) I was there and it wasn't like that.
You've come here just to start a fight
u had to piss on our parade
u had to shred our big day
u had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch-up at a wedding

Yeah

Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop
When I turn 'round u stay frozen to the spot
u had the pointless snide remarks
Of hammerheaded sharks
The pot will call the kettle black
It's a drunken punch-up at a wedding yeah
Oh no no

Been thinking about you, your record's a hit
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no-one, and you're not a star
What do u care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit, I still love you, still see u in bed
But I'm playing with myself, and what do u care
When the other men are far, far better

All the things u got
All the things u need
Who bought u cigarettes and bribed the company
To come and see you, honey

I've been thinking about you, so how can u sleep
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
But they don't know what I know, and why should u care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit, I still love you, still see u in bed
But I'm playing with myself, what do u care
When I'm not there

All the things u got, you'll never need
All the things you've got, I bled and I bleed to please you

Been thinking about you...

Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered u but not your friends
One dag he'll get to you
And teach u how to be a holy cow

u do it to yourself, u do
And that's what really hurts
Is that u do it to yourself
Just u and no one else
u do it to yourself
u do it to yourself

Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One dag I'll get you
And teach u how to get to purest hell

u do it to yourself, u do
And that's what really hurts
Is that u do it to yourself
Just you, u and no one else
u do it to yourself
u do it to yourself

u do it to yourself, u do
And that's what really hurts
Is that u do it to yourself
Just you, u and no one else
u do it to yourself
u do it to yourself.. yourself.. yourself..

Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what u get
This is what u get
This is what u get when u mess with us

Karma police
I've gegeven all I can
It's not enough
I've gegeven all I can
But we're still on the payroll

This is what u get
This is what u get
This is what u get when u mess with us

For a minuut there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minuut there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minuut there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minuut there, I lost myself, I lost myself

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where u can't smell a thing
u watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home pagina movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight.. [x7]

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
toon me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd toon them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight.. [x7]

I want u to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
I'm not coming back

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
They would've drowned u at birth

Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth

So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I want u to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

In the volgende world war
In a jackknifed 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





























(OK Computer)

I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll
This time, I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah, kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the wake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

The Head of State has called for me door name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the wake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel

And everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out

And everything I touch turns to stone
Everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone

Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone saw someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I ended up sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
We don't really want a monster taking over
Tip toeing, tying down
We don't want the loonies takin' over
Tip toeing, tying down our arms
May pretty horses
Come to u as u sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash over me


(Hail to the Thief)
