IMHO, this song and "Pearly" were both plenty good enough to have been included on OK Computer. They would have made the album even better than it was. Seriously, Radiohead is CRAZY GOOD.
@DLudvickson OK Computer is meant to be a loop. The first song talks about the aftermath of a car crash, and The Tourist ends with "Hey man, slow down, slow down, idiot, slow down, slow down." That final triangle hit at the end is the crash itself.
The album needs to be cyclical, because Thom's described as the thoughts you get stuck on. Snapshots in his head of people living in the modern world.
Just a little story: a few years ago, in a Radiohead concert some asshole stole my wallet. I spent a lot of time and money to replace my ID and licences, so I've decided that I keep them separate. One and a half years later my friends and I spontaneously took a train to travel a neighbor country and 30 minutes later I realized that I left my ID at home. I had to get off the train and as I wandered around in an unknown town I found this EP in a store. What a series of coincidences...
I hate to rain on the parade, but in the Metro (and in this recording) she says 'příští stanice' instead of 'Příští zastávka'... 'Příští zastávka' is used for the trams and busses. :)
@itsachickenwiththing your third theory is a good one :) but they are all incorrect...I present you with option 5) Friends of mine were trolling using my youtube account. The banal band confusion joke was the most embarrassing of options because they know how much of a dedicated Radiohead fan I am...
@ritahersh I have four theories, 1)You made a typo, 2)You're a complete scatterbrain, 3)This song has made you mad, 4)"You came here just to start a fight"
I love the new album, TKOL, so much... like it's seriously the only thing I've listened to for the past week... but it's so short, it left me wanting more. So I've been looking up Radiohead B-sides. Why hasn't anyone told me their B-sides are so incredible?!
@eimead: when you listen to it, sounds exactly like "clear" and nothing like "cool". i just know most lyric sites have many radiohead lyrics wrong so i'm skeptical on this one. i'd rather it be "clear", makes more sense to me ;)
lyrics are wrong

The Czech voice in the intro was taped at a train station in Prague and says this:
Ukončete prosím výstup a nástup ... dveře se zavírají
Příští zastávka ... Jiřího z Poděbrad
Translation:
Please end up entering or exiting ... the doors are closing
Next station ... Jiřího z Poděbrad

1997 (OK Computer) and 1998 (Airbag/How Am I Driving?) were awesome years for Radiohead.

If i get old, I will not give in! and if I do, remind me of this!
Remind me that, once I was free, once I was cool, once I was me...
and if I sit down, and cross my arms! Hold me to yhis song!
Knock me out and smash out my brains, if I take the chair and start to talk shit!
if I get old, remind me of this! the way that we kissed and I really meant it!
whatever happens, if were still speaking, pick up the phone, play me this song!

He's saying "Once I was clear," not "Once I was cool."
And it's "Hold me to this song."
For some reason a ton of lyric sites have those wrong too.
