	apparently this song - terrifyingly wonderful song- was inspired by the Hungerford killings in England 1987. go on and look up the newsprints about it. you'll see the parallels.

No Picture Eric Average	#2 by Eric Boozer at Jan 20, 1985 at 10:01 PM EST
	a surprisingly overlooked song from the bends. i read on greenplastic that it hasnt been played for over 10 years

	my thoughts exactly, ruben. "sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn, god rest your soul when the loving comes and we've already gone just like your dad you'll never change." My thought is on how that thoght is broken up. Does it mean "We've alread gone, just like you dad," or "Just like your dad you'll never change," and the unknowing of which it could be bothers me, but its just a trifle in a world where we shouldnt be listening to frivolous music and buying albums but saving the world. But I think this works better for us, I guess.

	This song is a reference to the Hungerford killings like aydayzay said. I don't really see how this parallels, but this song is amazing anyway. My favorite on The bends, next to Fake Plastic Trees.

No Picture Dan Professional Badass	#5 by Dan Hudspith at Dec 4, 1997 at 4:21 AM EST
	I don't understand why this song gets such a bad rap by so many people, as I personally love this song and is one of my favorites on The Bends. The tumbling guitar in the verses is magical and some of the best I've ever heard; it's just so soothing and almost sad. This song, to me, is really about the feeling you get when you feel sad about something and you just want to hide away and be resigned. This song defines resignation and really hits me hard when I feel down about something that has happened or may happen. This is also one of my favorite Radiohead songs overall, and I love singing it on the top of my lungs (especially the final chorus). It's a simple song for Radiohead, but it has enough guitar effects and noises going on to keep my interest throughout the song. Excellent, excellent depression song.

	Those three lines could all be the same thought. "We've already gone -- just like your dad -- you'll never change." It could almost imply the death of the "dad" in the statement.
