Wolf at the Door
Intro: Dm Gm A
Dm
drag him out the window
dragging out your dead
singing i miss you
Dsus2
snakes and ladders
Gm
flip the lid
out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head
knifes you in the neck
A
kicks you in the teeth
steel toe caps
takes all your credit cards
A7
get up get the gunge
Dm
get the eggs
get the flan in the face
the flan in the face
Dsus2
the flan in the face
Gm
dance you fucker dance you fucker
don't you dare
don't you dare
don't you flan in the face
A
take it with the love is given
take it with a pinch of salt
A7
take it to the taxman
Gm
let me back let me back
i promise to be good
Dsus2
don't look in the mirror
Gm
at the face you don't recognize
help me call the doctor
put me inside
A
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
A7
put me inside
D
i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
G
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
F#m

if i don't pay the ransom
D
but i'll never see him again
G
if i squeal to the cops
Dm Am Bb F A x2
Oh ...
Dm Am Bb A
Oh ...
Dm
walking like a giant crane
Dsus2

Gm
in a tight little world and are you on the list?
Stepford wives who are we to complain?
A
Investments and dealers investments and dealers
cold wives and mistresses.
A7
cold wives and sunday papers.
Dm Gm A

A7
so why don't get up and turn the tape off?
D

but he calls me up

F#m
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
D
but i'll never see him again

| woo im not even gonna attempt to think about what this song means right now, but i will some other time. it's to easy to just say this song is simply about a gangster. thom writes poetry, poetry is deep. there's always more to what you think is true. for all we know this song could be about a sunday in abingdon when thom watched the three little pigs on tv and got angry when he related the big bad wolf to the government. who knows. i like everyones ideas though. this song fucking sweet, and a great way to end a great album, and a great way to srart off radiohead's rapping debut (i think correct me if im wrong, idk any other songs thom has rapped on before) sweet | |

| It makes me cry uncontrollably when I listen to it, and no song's really done that for me since I was maybe, 13 or something. It's like a train of fear straight out of his subconscious. I read the rich guys are based on him really feeling that way on a rowdy train car at some point, and he had just had a baby. It's fear and disgust, all rolled into one out of control rant. It's about inescapable fear and disgust, even when you have little babies' eyes to look into. | |
