This is "Pearly" from the Airbag/How Am I Driving EP.
How'd you
Get your
Teeth so
Pearly?
Dew-drop
Dentures
White-washed
Faces
She runs from
The third world
Pearly
Vanilla
(Feel it crawl to me)
Milkshakes
(Crawl back again)
From Hard Rock
(Whatever you say)
Cafes
(It won't go away)
That's where
(I feel it crawl to me)
She got her
(Crawls back again)
Sweet tooth
(Make it go away)
For white boys
(Whatever you say)
She runs from
The third world
Pearly
Hurts me
Darling use me
Darling use me
Darling use me

i think it's about an obsession with pretty things to hide a sense of emptiness/inadequacy. running away from the 3rd world suggests an effort to escape from a grim reality to things that are pure. but dentures/hard rock cafes/white washed faces all suggest a certain superficiality to what is being sought; they aren't real or satisfying. this is paralleled by the tension in the first part of the song until he returns to and cries out in the pain that IS real: "hurts me, darling use me..."

can someone PLEASE tell me what this song is about?
-
Why can't we like both bands, just like I do? And if you really want to dislike this, do it, haters!

Myxamitosis + Pearly = Hysteria?

IMHO, both this song and "A Reminder" should have been included on OK Computer. Would have made it an even better album than it was already. Seriously, Radiohead are CRAZY GOOD.
