Life In A Glass House

Life In A Glass House
Radiohead
Amnesiac

Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house

Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in.

Once again, we are hungry for a lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glass house

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in.

I NEED to learn the clarinet part for this song

[Unnamed0909]

Radiohead needs to do more jazzy music. They're great at it.

@whothq18 hi

[unicornicopia10]

I'm pretty sure that Colin Greenwood actually arranged the strings for this, can anyone confirm? It'd be nice to see Colin doing some arrangements because you never really hear about him having a large role in the band.

@LZforever77 And I need to learn the trumpet part of this song.

@musicinmusic well, in my vision of music, few songs are considerated masterpieces. there are "absolute masterpieces" (maybe 30 songs in all rock history, for example "the end" by the doors or sister ray by velvet underground), "masterpieces" (maybe 200, for example "stairway to heaven") and "little masterpieces" (maybe 300-400, for example this song and "a day in the life" (beatles)). the songs you have named are all good ones, masterpieces (for me), maybe no. but if you like them, its ok.

@progreadicto good to hear a different opinion. I agree that Life In A Glass and Pyramid Song are masterpieces. I think that Wolf at the Door, I Will, Fog, Present Tense (by Thom Yorke, not Radiohead) are masterpieces as well. I'm interested in your opinion about these songs, please let me know.

This song fits very well my situation with a friend of mine recently.

[progreadicto]

sorry for the lovers of heavly arranged songs or overproduced extravaganzas (aka beatles fans)but, from an artistic point of view, THIS is THE BEST radiohead song ever.a masterpiece that they would never repeat again.

another radiohead's masterpieces: maybe national anthem and pyramid song, very good songs: a lot!!: creep, paranoid android, karma police, no surprises, etc...

The late great chairman Humphrey Lyttelton on trumpet!
