Thom Yorke solo acoustic - Last Flowers Till the Hospital

"Last Flowers Till the Hospital" performed by Thom Yorke at the Wake Up to Trade Justice vigil, Central Methodist Hall, London, April 16, 2005. I synched this amateur/fan-shot video with a better audio source.

Rare footage of a Radiohead song which has almost never seen the light of day. The title apparently comes from a sign on the way to Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. This song was part of the OK Computer recording sessions, but was left unfinished. A studio recorded version of this song is found on the Bonus Disk for the 2007 album In Rainbows.

Lyrics:
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little fools

And I can't face the evening straight
And you can offer me escape
Houses live and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, relief, believe

And if I'm gonna talk
I just want to talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

Cause I can't face the evening straight
And you can offer me escape
Houses live and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, relief, believe
Relief, believe

It's too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much

From an old version of radiohead.com: last flowers till the hospital*is a sign discovered in oxford -my unhealthy obsession with these institutions. analysts may get the connection. ambulances scream past my house at all hours of the day and night like the confessionals of Larkin's "Ambulances."

Thom in 1999: i absolutley love this song. the name will get changed probably to Cogs. (Sarky cogs skwrkinground). jonny and i have rewritten the 2nd verse and we are yet to start recording it. but its not lost.

[IsaacMartinMusic]

God definitely touched Thom

[BrunoMorisetti]

in 2012 You cant listen a concert without stupid morron who talk, who dont respect the singer and the audience. It's sad. It's this fucking world but those genius like TY are still there in order to bring us some hope.

Good ear! It was first worked on by the band during the OK Computer sessions in 1996 (and even rehearsed during soundchecks in 1997), but they didn't like the results and it was shelved for years.

I loved this song from 'In Rainbows' probably my fave tbh but if I was a Director and my film wasn't shite this would be going in!! Was blown away when I watched Confessions. JP ok.

It actually makes me feel a little better as a performer.... Just knowing that even Thom Yorke sometimes must feel like he's on an island all by himself singing for the peanut gallery. The fact that it's not a Radiohead show, and is a benefit concert makes me think that some people don't know who the #### he is or why they should care.

Sort of like every time I play a show. Unless you pander to their easy-listening tastes, you are not going to impress the average crowd.

i cant beleive, people are there in the audionce , talking and not watching and giving a shit, the most amazing artist is doing one of his most amazing songs!!, whta planet are you on peeps!!!!

[ymirfrostgiant]

I first listened to this on the In Rainbows Cd, but I thought it really sounded like the OK Computer era sound.
