Well, that's the first verse and first chorus. The second
verse is similar to the first, but the second chorus goes even
more psycho then the first chorus shown here. The 3 verses of
the song are played with a clean electric sound until a heavily
distorted 2nd guitar comes in to dish out the chorus.

Symbols I used:
/ slide up, slide down
{mp} moderate volume
{f} loud
{ff} loud as hell

I hope nobody complains about wasting space... later...

Basically its about how hes not like others, hes a loser, and he likes this girl but she doesnt care for him or when hes around her he feels out of place and stuck in the corner.The song is the point where he just has had enough and goes to her and says im a creep and youre fuckin special or act that way and I dont need this anymore. I think I may just be restating something from above.

The song is sad, and hurtful, and just truly the epitome of the humanity of teenagers. I can't relate to this song more. I love how he sings it and what the song says to me. Let it live through you and take you over. Listen and Feel.

i`m fairly certain that this is Radiohead's only song that doesn`t suck in some manner. oh, and "Thom" hates you all and wants to be allowed to suck again, which is why he put out total crap like "kid A" and "ok computer", and no longer plays his one suckless song at concerts. he wants to see how dumb you are, and how long you will leech yourselves to his rotting entrails until you realize how god-awful his music is (except this song, of course).

Doesn't it seem to apply to anyone who aches for someone they deem out of their league? All of the self deprecation and feelings of not being worthy are something to which most of us can relate. Isn't it funny how later we wonder what the hell we were thinking about the person? Emotions, what a ride!
