| Radiohead - Unravel cover (Entanglement webcast 11/8/2007) - 229 sec Beautiful Radiohead cover of Björk's Unravel - from "Entanglement," a webcast test session on November 8, 2007.
While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love, our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
He'll never return it Auteur : fakeplasticradiohead Tags: Radiohead Unravel webcast Entanglement Thom Yorke cover Björk  | | Radiohead - Thom Yorke - True Love Waits 6/5/03 - 350 sec And true love waits in haunted attics...

Lyrics:
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me into phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth and fall off
Everybody leaves if they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Yeah I
I hit the bottom and
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I hit the bottom and
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

This is a very beautiful old version of "Nude" - also known as "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)" - featuring the organ and glockenspiel. This song was not recorded for several years, and after a hiatus, was played again in a reinvented form on tour in 2006 and finally recorded for the 2007 album In Rainbows.
Keep your eyes open for Jonny Greenwood playing two instruments at the same time!
Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint your house white and fill in the noise
But there'll be something missing
Just when you've found it, it's gone
Just when you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails
She kisses you with tongues and pulls you to the bed
Don't go, you'll only want to come back again
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

Acoustic version of "There There" performed live by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead on Musique Plus, Montreal, June 2, 2003. Auteur : fakeplasticradiohead Tags:Radiohead There live acoustic  | | Radiohead - I Will - Musique Plus 6/2/03 - 141 sec "I Will" performed live by Thom Yorke on Musique Plus, Montreal, June 2, 2003.
"I Will" is a song which has been kicking around in the Radiohead catalog for a few years. Fans were first introduced to this song in the Radiohead tour documentary Meeting People Is Easy in 1998. In 2001, the song was reversed and transformed into "Like Spinning Plates" for the Amnesiac album (if you take "Like Spinning Plates" and play it backwards, you get something that sounds like "I Will"). Because of this, it appeared that "I Will" was lost and would never be released, but a studio version was recorded for Hail to the Thief in 2003.
The main inspiration for the song seems to be an incident from the first Gulf War. On February 13, 1991 the US military bombed the Amiriyah bomb shelter, at the time a refuge for over 400 people, nearly all women and children. All of them were killed by two precisely directed bombs, resulting in horrific imprints on the walls. When Thom heard about it, the event deeply disturbed him.
Thom: "I had an extremely unhealthy obsession, that ran through the Kid A thing, about the first Gulf War. When they started it up they did that lovely thing of putting the camera on the end of the missile, and you got to see the wonders of modern military technology blow up this bunker. And then sometime afterwards in the back pages it was announced that that bunker was not full of weapons at all, but women and children. And it was actually a bomb shelter. And so everybody...we all got to witness the wonders of modern technology. And it ran through so much stuff for so long for me. I just could not get it out of my head. It was so sick. And so that's where the anger comes from." (XFM interview, spring 2003)
"As a song it's sort of like a love song, but it's also sort of the angriest thing I've ever written as well. That sort of anger, that you can't even begin to express. This thing about 'you can do anything you want to me, but if you come after my family I will kill you.' You know, that sort of thing, which everyone has in them, I think." (official Hail to the Thief interview CD, April 2003) Auteur : fakeplasticradiohead Tags:Radiohead Thom Yorke live piano acoustic  | | Radiohead - In Limbo - Pinkpop 6/4/01 - 285 sec "In Limbo" performed live at the Pinkpop Festival, Landgraaf, the Netherlands, June 4, 2001.
Thom Yorke: It's a nightmare to play live. The cross rhythm is very hard to get right. And the fact that the guitars on the record are impossible to reproduce live. You can only hear two, but Jonny did loads of them, the mix is very subtle. Jonny hasn't built a machine yet [to reproduce it].
- Rolling Stone, 2004 Auteur : fakeplasticradiohead Tags:Radiohead In Limbo Pinkpop live 2001  | | Radiohead - The Tourist - Berkeley 6/24/06 - 301 sec "The Tourist" performed live at the Greek Theatre, Berkeley, June 24, 2006.
"The Tourist" was written by Jonny Greenwood, who, explains Thom Yorke, was "in a beautiful square in France on a sunny day, and watching all these American tourists being wheeled around, frantically trying to see everything in ten minutes." Jonny was shocked at how these people could be in a place so beautiful and so special and not realize it because they weren't taking the time to just stop and look around.
Lyrics:
It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin
No one else would know
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down

Synched with a better audio source. This song seems to be about the world of mass marketing and mass consumption. According to Thom Yorke, it is about Canary Wharf in London. Thom: "The product of a joke that wasn't really a joke and a very lonely drunken evening and well, a breakdown of sorts."
Lyrics:
A green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time

Lyrics:
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
I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my centre
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
(I'm talking to you but it's too late
From my videotape)
No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
