@THEH0WLER87 Stop the 'I know more than you' rubbish. This is music, not poetry, the clue is in the name. It is about how it is performed and now it is delivered, each note each beat. This is tunless, bland and certainly not Yorkes best (I am a fan). I will not praise him on past rep, but on current merit. If it is about what he has to say, then I want to hear him say it...not mumble it. The lyrics may be great, but his performance here is bad:( I've seen some greats....this aint it.
Interpretation from an experienced Thom Yorke translator: WHERES THE TRUTH, WHATS THE USE BEEN HANGIN ROUND, LOST AND FOUND IM IN YOUR HEAD, ALBERT SAID FAT CHANCE, NO PLAN NOW WERE GOING, FOR HUMAN LIFE YOULL KEEP TIME, YOULL BLOW MINDS YOURE FAST TO LOSE, YOURE WIN OR LOSE YOU DROP A CUE, YOURE BACK AGAIN YOURE PRESIDENT, FOR ALL LIVES FOR ALL ABOVE, THAT FLIES IN THE SKY THE PEACE ON THE EARTH, THE FISH IN THE SEA THE VOICE COMING...
half the views on this video have to be mine. i'm already addicted to this song, as soon as it's over i feel like i need to listen to it again (and again and again and again).
thanks for posting... also why do you think this is the song that was originally a pig's ear, did i miss something? did thom say it was or is it in the lyrics?
The lyrics are similar to a song he referred to a while back in 2005 when the band started putting together In Rainbows. Look on Dead Air Space's entries around August/Sept of that year.
he is a fucking genius

I think he made a pigs ear when he performed the song to be honest:(

@DarkMithras666 It's about what he has to say not how he says it. A comment like this denotes a real lack of understanding of what music is...

I love how all those blackboard songs are coming to light... it's kinda humbling to realise how many years they spend developing songs...

check citizeninsane. eu/apigsear. html (without the spaces)
the lyrics are exact at:
you made a pigs ear
you made a mistake
paid off security
and got through the gate
you got away with it

how does thom keep his lyrics so consistently brilliant?
"to keep your prices down
we'll feed you to the hounds
to the daily mail"
the end is great, reminds me of jack white on depressants
