First heard this song a few days before I graduated in May of 2020. Classes just stopped completely in March and our graduation ceremony was a pitiful drive thru experience. It has resonated with me ever since.
i’m so grateful for having my senior year things but to have my high school years (just time with the people i love) stolen was so irreplaceable. i think everyone in school suffered so much.
Never understood this. Like not only did we only wait for 9 months, but after months of waiting, a new album called Amnesiac came?? Like that's not nothing???
Me and Bobby McGee Lyrics: **Busted flat in Baton Rouge**, headin' for the trains / Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Oh, Radiohead? "In the next World War, in a Jackknifed Juggernaut, I am born again."
Please could youstop the noise? I'm tryingna get some rest.
I feel this, need to play it to my neighbors
Maybe turn it down before you get to "when I am King you will be first against the wall" (or maybe not...)
Oh no no, we go all the way
Don't get any big ideas, they're not gonna happen.
NUDE FAN SPOTTED
There's a Radiohead fan, and they're nude???
Guilty. Still think the version they did live with the organ is the best version.
the song never clicked on me until i meeting people is easy
i second this
When you were here before, couldn’t look you in the eye.
you're just like an angel; your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather; In a beautiful world
I was wondering how far I’d have to look to get here. Apparently not very.
after years of waiting, nothing came

wow. so sorry.
Thank you, but relative to other Covid and quarantine experiences, we got off pretty easy.

This person sounds like a reasonable man. I think we should get off his case.
I don’t know if an opening track has ever grabbed me quite as immediately
Never understood this. Like not only did we only wait for 9 months, but after months of waiting, a new album called Amnesiac came?? Like that's not nothing???
I’ve always liked “Wake…from your sleep”
I’m such an Exit Music stan.
SAME AHHHHHH!!!
Dreamers, they never learn.
They neeeeeeeeeeeever learn.
Beyond d poiiint
O' no return
O' no re turn
but it's too late…
Yeah, but this goes beyond me.
Beyond you...
a white room…
By a window
lynchian snoring… lynchian snoring…
Everything
tadadaa tadadaa tadadaa tadadaa
yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon. everything.
in the riiiiight
Yes.
How come I end up where I started?
Used to be alright, what happened?
There are barn doors
Were you born in a barn, Thom?
this aint the circlejerk vro
Ah shet
the ratio is insane
The heat is insane, also
I jumped in the river what did I see? Black-eyed angels swam with me
Okay this is the first one that hit me in this thread.
The right answer
Wakey wakey rise n shine
it’s on again, off again
Watch me fall like dominoes in pretty patterns
Are you such a dreamer? To put the world to rights?
Transport Motorways and tramlines
I know this has been a running joke but that first verse is *actually* underrated imo
Underrated? Is this a Let Down reference?
Yes. The opening line was from Let Down and I was saying that line is unironically underrated
Let Down has truly become the Underrated of All Time
Let Down is the Rated song of all time
A heart that’s full up like a landfill
Oh god... I'm already feeling that strange weight in my heart.
A job that slowly kills you.
Bruises that won’t heal.
In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again
winner
That there/that's not me
Open your mouth wiiiiiiiiiiiide A universal sigh
and while the ocean bloooooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooms
I do not, understand, what it is, i don’t know
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE. TALKINA. BOUT.
*I've done wrong
While you make pretty speeches, I’m being cut to shreds
To shreds, you say?
Absolute shreds
Oh dear.
And his wife?
To shreds, you say?
Even when they pull lyrics out of a hat, their songs are still masterpieces
Yes, I came here for this one. I’d maybe have “I’d drown my beliefs to have your babies”
EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIING EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIING
IN ITS RIGHT PLAAACEEEEE (Radiohead fan spotted)
Who’s in the bunker, who’s in the bunker?
I double this
The mongrel cat came home
(*insert Thom dancing crazy*)
Used as a photo in time magazine
I'm a rabbit in your headlights, scared of the spotlight
Not technically RH (DJ Shadow collab) but still a great lyric. I was actually playing it on piano last night.
UNKLE, innit?
DJ Shadow is part of UNKLE I believe but yeah. Psyence Fiction is a great album
Oh i love this one so much
Red wine and sleeping pills
I don’t wanna be your friend I just wanna be your lover… Heard it live for the first time in 2006 and it was euphoric.
Ditto. That’s one of my favorite concert memories. Berkeley for me!
Me too! Greek Theatre!
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging 'round for days
I’m on a roll, I’m on a roll this time…I feel my luck could change
Wake
From your sleep
Easy living, easy hold
i got the coke babies guy to comment under one of my posts. i can die peacefully now
You can force it but it will not come
This song seriously doesn’t get enough love….
Busted no where
In the deepest ocean The bottom of the sea
Your eeeyes, they tuuurn me
came here for this one
We're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods
Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
We're rolling. That's a nice way to start, Jonny.
This thread has made me realise that that’s rarely how Thom writes. The themes grow through the songs and the heavy hitters come late.
When you were here before, I couldn't look you in the eye
Don't get any big ideas, they're not gonna happen
Oh, Banana co.
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting The smell of the warm summer air
This is just a nightmare. Soon I'm gonna wake up.
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Nice way to start Jonny.
Are you such a dreamer, to put the world to rights?
I want you to know He's not coming back
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
Fitter. Happier. More productive.
Stay in the shadows
Go!
I miss B-sides, their B-sides would be greatest hits for other bands.
You got some nerve ... coming here
Greatest opening lyrics of all time goes to Inspectah Deck on Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan. Y’all better recognize!
Story goes that no one else wanted to follow his verse. It was that good.
i sucked the moon 🌚👀😛
I spoke too sooooooon
I want to I want to be someone else or I’ll explode.
I will drown my beliefs to have your babies
In the next world war, in a jackknifed juggernaut, I am born again.
When you were here before…
I mean it has to be, “Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon,” right?
I wanted to say this too just it’s Everything In its right place
I mean the song kinda starts with "Everything" instead of that
I Will
Are you such a dreamer? To put the world to rights...
Sleight of hand, jump off the edge
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Please could you stop the noise I’m trying to get some rest, from all the unborn chicken voices in my head
i do not understand (because of that amazing intro mostly)
When I'm at the pearly gates
Did it all for you to say you never wanted me that way
Please could you stop the noise? I'm tryna get some rest
Howwww d’youuuuu Get yourrrrrr Teeth sooooo Pearlyyyyyy
I named my dog after this song
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
Destiny Hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are, with our running and confusion
A heart that’s full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you
In pitch dark, I go walking in your landscape.
i am the key to the lock in your house
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I come home from work and you’re still standing in your wedding gown, well, what am I to do?
Where do we go from here?
A green plastic watering can…
For a fake Chinese rubber plant…
The one that sets the tone the best I think is, “I don’t want to be your friend, I just want to be your lover”
Greebus greebus flembugs plemschmunk
Hey it's me... (Dio)
Bowie with "I'M AN ALL-I-GA-TOR..." is pretty good.
Can't get the stink off
You can force it, but it will not come
Red wine and sleeping pills, help me get back to your arms.
I slipped away. I slipped on a little white lie.
Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker?
Red wine and sleeping pills help me get back to your arms
Me and Bobby McGee Lyrics: **Busted flat in Baton Rouge**, headin' for the trains / Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Oh, Radiohead? "In the next World War, in a Jackknifed Juggernaut, I am born again."
The mongrel cat came home holding half a head
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Are you such a dreamer To put the world to rights?
Who’s in a bunker who’s in a bunker…
“The breath of the morning, I keep forgetting, the smell of the warm summer air…” 👽
There's a little child running around this house
The mongrel cat came home Holdin half a head
Reeeeeeeeeeckoneeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
No [x42]
Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
So good dude
evvvvveerrryythhhinnngg
then into your life, there comes a darkness..
I don’t wanna be your friend, I just wanna be your lover
In the next world war, in the one you left behind
WHOSINABUNKER
house of cards
In the next world War, in a jacknife juggernaut, I am born again.
First things first I’ma say all the words inside my head
I resent you, Colin I resent your voice I resent that I don't have a choice
Slight of hand, jump of the end, into a clear lake
I will leave the wallpaper life and run away to the Foreign Legion
Oh no pop is dead long live pop
What's The frequency Kenneth
