i think where it says "she looks like the real thing/she tastes like the real thing" it's saying that if you look like you fit a part, you can deceive a lot of people into thinking you actually play the part. this is the most amazing radiohead, it's so...i'm not sure...there's something about it that just has a magnetism and leaves a mark on everyone

I don't get this video. It's a great song nonetheless. Thom's voice is superb here.

a blow up doll?? i doubt it...this song is way too serious to be about loving a blow up doll, he might be making reference to the fact that people have become LIKE a blow up doll but not specifically..it's by far their best song though, i couldn't stop listening to it the first time i heard it
