| I guess that the headshrinkers is the people like trying to learn everything about thom, like the media or crazy fans, just an instant idea. And headshrink may mean making stupid :S And the lung is iron so that it wont be harmed, perhaps... Its a confusing song, but I love it too. Its more rock the bends completely is wonderful. I love whatever they do, I feel love and care for whatever they do:) | |

| Now thats not really the point now is it? Could Radiohead careless if you called them the band that did Creep? Hell, most true fans wouldn't care either, they listen to radiohead for other songs too. | |

| I love this song... In it they are basically saying exactly what I think makes them so great, that they don't give a rats ass what people think, they know they are good, and if their music isn't to all the teenie boppers out there who are barely potty trained and still sucking their thumbs, then so be it. I for one am a huge radiohead fan and I'm glad that they don't give in to the pop world. | |

| and if your frightened "you can be frightened you can be it's okay and if your frightened you can be frightened you can be it's okay " This makes me feel better, because even when its shitty, that's ok. And when its good, its ok. Its all ok, things aren't that bad. Thank god for that. | |
