Second single from "Amnesiac" (2001), by Radiohead.
Directed by Michel Gondry.
The whole video was shot in one take in the same set (quite remarkable considering the scene changes required).
Director Michel Gondry said the video was autobiographical, about himself and a girlfriend once he had. However, Thom Yorke said the lyrics were about cannibalism.
This video features Emma de Caunes as Thom's girlfriend.
The video tryed to interpret the surreal imagery and fit it with the song lyrics. Nevertheless, Radiohead vetoed this video from the Director's DVD release because it was about Gondry's personal life and loosely based on the song.
The song was developed during the 18-month Kid A and Amnesiac sessions, and it is legendary for supposedly "having taken 373 days to record". Although "Knives Out" is not similar to Radiohead's earlier rock style as featured on The Bends (1995), it is usually noted as one of the most traditional guitar songs the band has done since 2000.

I want you to know He's not coming back Look into my eyes I'm not coming back
So knives out Catch the mouse Don't look down Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog They would've drowned you at birth
Look into my eyes It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
So knives out Cook him up Squash his head Put him in the pot
I want you to know He's not coming back He's bloated and frozen Still there's no point in letting it go to waste
So knives out Catch the mouse Squash his head Put him in the pot

just in case anyone was curious to the meanings of the lyrics, they refer to a particular incident in which a plane crashed into a snowy mountainside and the survivors were stranded and were forced to resort to cannibalism to survive.
These guys float underneath the underbelly of mainstream music and therefore are more creative artisically and have they ability to continually push the envelope, while U2 and Coldplay suffer from being over played and handcuffed by the mainstream public..too bad. Good on ya Tom Yorke!
DANG IT. I've been searching, and searching, and searching endlessly for this song. I remember watching the video late at night ages ago, and I knew it was by Radio Head and I knew the video consisted of that docter's game that I don't know the name of, but I could never figure out the song. NOW I DID. I'VE REACH ULTIMATE HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW.
