Amazing. This song feels like it's sucking me back in time, rearranging everything back to where it should be
Just moved house and have had this song rolling around my head constantly as I unpack everything.
I bet Thom Yorke can't get enough of doing chores around the house. #tidyingupweek

This song defined my college years, was on my blank cd that someone gave to me and I never knew who it was by and what it said. It's funny to realize a decade later that (1) it's Radiohead *duh* and (2) it's not "I'm trapped here" as I thought, but "in its right place". And then you read about it: // The line, "Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon", apparently refers to the face one makes in reaction to a lemon's sourness. Yorke revealed in an interview that while promoting OK Computer, he was told he frequently exhibited a sour-faced look. Other lyrics are said to have been drawn randomly from a hat in a process inspired by artist Tristan Tzara, whose instructions for "How to make a Dada poem" appeared on Radiohead's website at this time. Another line, "There are two colours in my head", is a reference to the paintings of Mark Rothko, of whom Yorke would reference as an influence in interviews leading up to its release. // What. A. Tune.
