No Suprises Please (aka no suprises) Early Version

[KatsumiKotoda]

This gave me SERIOUS shivers!!

[RuleTheRadio23]

What year was this from?

[megalomania29]

that made me cry...so beautiful. Almost better than the CD version.

[immelol4]

i think the lyrics to the album were better but if he sang them like in this version for the album it would have been way better

[assfk11]

lyrics  more better than now

[everuck]

.............................

[Tommeh101101]

Can't even begin to describe the effect this song has on me.

[R4ggy]

The album version sounds perfect... This however sounds other-worldly.

A visit to Ireland would be lovely gents.

[pHuKnDrUnK2k8]

i'm absolutly in love with thi song at the moment,it's almost surpasing True Love Waits on my all-time list.

Come to Ireland again Thom!!!!?Its been too long.

[TheHoboPants]

he was sick of it all

[boabibingo]

I actually prefer these lyrics alot but I don't think it would have been as big a hit if they hadn't changed them.

[Drenex00]

ooh in 1993!!they wrote this!!!!

[almiester1234]

this shit seriously gives me chills...

[whoispink]

this version of the song was piece of my life soundtrack some years ago. Now bring me back some memories.

[eazzy93]

The way he sings is much more dramatic, but the lyrics to the actual No Surprises are much more frightening

[maddhattertime]

I love this song on OKC. It's fantastic to see where it all started.

[kulabakula]

beautifull...simply great version!

[jhonatan008]

WTF!! ITS A DIFERENT LYRICS REALLy?? O PLEASEME TELLMY? IT'S A DIFERENT LYRIC VERSION? REALLY?

[TToxicunderground]

it is.

i just added them to the right

[Scott17quebec]

yes

[Orsojka]

Even sadder than the other version:( And beautiful.

[reCupcake]

lol, a song about not getting laid?

and i love the sort of not-resolving, just hanging sort of singing when he says :"no alarms..." and ""no alarms and no surprises"

[tyranitar4ever]

my god, fucking beutiful

[rafamexrocker]

the version played on jolls holland is good too!!

[Yetroneil]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah!!!.... Great version!!...

[iddiols1]

he still has passion. perhaps he has a greater awareness of self. he could still do this if he wanted to.

[fenderacolyte]

wow, i haven't heard a song like this since stupid car.

[skinnydipper16]

Why did he change it?

[theleo2004]

Probably cause this fits more with the rest of OKC. This version is beautiful, but it's lyrical content wouldn't really work with songs like Electionerring or Fitter Happier.

[kaisqais]

agreed this version of No Suprises would fit The Bends perfectly

[radioivan18]

sounds a little bit like fake plastic trees

[sarbool]

you know all these are the original lyrics but not sung by Radiohead

[SlyZepplin]

WTF? o.o

[187beyond]

wow radiohead :)

[OCIRELCNU]

i doubt there has ever been a bad version of this song, i like the any version where tom sings "get me out of here" at the end.

[Tris184]

beautiful. where was this recorded?

[iddiols1]

why oh why doesn't he sing like this anymore?

[thepeter]

perhaps because of his age?

[imslicc]

right?> i also say it. at that point he had the best voice the digital humankind has ever heard.

it won't be again. hear every recording of thom yorke and radiohead in the years of 94-1998.

[yovallch]

in ranibows is my favoirte "thom voice" album.

[BenjKris]

i agree mate, reckoner bein' the best "thom voice" song !

[fenderacolyte]

he lost youth's passion, everyone does at certain age. Thom = Living Legend

[maartenmonster]

My clock did really stop today :O

Damn I love this version, I've added some EQ and reverb on this version on my harddisk, really gives me shivers.

[80sRockerKid]

I like this version almost as much as the final version.

[Hellomynamesolly]

I wish this song went on forever

[rawwqq]

If it were like hearing it for the first time, yes.

[Snailwuede]

reminds me of neil young a lot.

[boabibingo]

Has anyone worked out all the lyrics for this yet?

[smrtypantz]

he was sick of his clock stopping wind it up, that girls stayed sleeping next to him watch stops, the batteries run down he started his broken sentence, "no alarms..." the watch stops, the batteries run down, he started his broken sentence,no alarms and no surprises he was sick of her excuses to not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom he was sick of his clock stopping, wind it up no alarms an no surprises no alarms an no surprises no alarms an no surprises, please

[boabibingo]

Thanks.

[trickyjgc]

Wow!

Thank you very much!

[Zachain]

He has such a rich falsetto

[andrew11235]

We need a Radiohead unplugged tour, with an official CD/DVD recording. Who agrees?

[TToxicunderground]

i agree 100%

[echidna18]

I just want them to tour Australia so I can see them. Amazing post BTW!

[Hellomynamesolly]

What's an unplugged tour? acoustic?

[andrew11235]

yep. you really get to hear the raw feel of all your favorite songs, without productioin or editing.

[Hellomynamesolly]

That would be amazing, I think this is my fave radiohead song. Followed closely by nice dream

[15amnesiac]

There are already! It might be MTV Unplugged Live at France? Sorry I don't remember clearly.

[fenderacolyte]

search in youtube "radiohead arte".

[crumblerush93]

[Scott17quebec]

[iamthewaaalrus]

[dantheman13131]

This is stunning, has anyone got a link to where I can download it?

[kramfoofa]

Breath Taking.

[wikum3]

beautiful vocals

[StanleyDonwood]

I have this version somewhere, I prefer it.

[bleach6bleach]

his voice, sounds like he's about to break down

[Muchacristi]

It's just so beautiful.... this version leaves me speechless

[GeometricJuxtapose]

he was sick of his clock stopping wind it up, that girls stayed sleeping next to him watch stops, the batteries run down he started his broken sentence, "no alarms..." the watch stops, the batteries run down, he started his broken sentence,"no alarms and no surprises..." he was sick of her excuses to not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom he was sick of his clock stopping, wind it up no alarms an no surprises... no alarms an no surprises... no alarms an no surprises, please

[neinnonon]

thanks a lot!

i don't speak english very well and sometimes i can't understand the thom's voice.

thank you from mexico.

[ledzeppelin133]

thats interesting

so the original version is about not being able to make whoopie perhaps?

[mrgfunkyman]

Wow. Those lyrics are much better than in the album version. The album version's lyrics were too tame, and so was the song.

Actually, many of Radiohead's songs are that way.

[y2james]

i love this, but i disagree, the album version is perfect. this is absolutely incredible in its own right though and its so interesting seeing how its changed since it was first written

[9KarmaIngram3]

quote, the album version is the perfect song

[Muchacristi]

Oh my god it was true that No surprises used to have another lyrics!! This is the reason why Youtube exists, thanx, thanx, thanx!!!

[neinnonon]

can you get the lyric...?

that sound nice...i really like it..

i'm crying :(

[faviolo]
