Radiohead - In Rainbows - Down Is The New Up

Down Is The New Up - Track 2 (CD 2)

Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup
Down is the new up, is the new up

Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week

Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flopped?
Down is the new up
Down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up

You crawled off and left us.
You crawled off and left us.
You bastard. You bastard.

You're on Candid Camera
The chink in your armor
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town

You crawled off and left us.
You crawled off and left us.
You bastard. You bastard.
You crawled off and left us.
You crawled off and left us.

Does anyone else love the way that Phil's drumming at the line "Ladies and gentlemen without a safety net" sounds like something falling? Goddamn I LOVE that!!

Phil Selway deserves to be celebrated much more than he is. He may not be as dramatic and self-indulgent as Bonzo Bonham or Moon but imo he's every bit as good. His work complements each Radiohead song perfectly. See Chat Show Host for a case in point.

All hail King Phil Selway.

its RADIOHEAD PERIOD.

everyone shut the fuck up

[AnRTPgA]

[VanillaSnow23]

The whole song is amazing, but starting at 3:39 is unbelievable.

[adjulbic]

1) Hail to the thief, in rainbows, pablo honey, kid a, amnesiac, OK computer, eraser, the bends

2)....

3)....

4)...

[adjulbic]

@leungsz...TOTALLY agree with you statement about OK Computer...Love the list too...mine are exactly in that order...Favorite album ever is Hail to the Thief

[Killadey]

@CheshireCatty

Thank you!, you absolutely hit the nail on the RadioHead.

Phil is an incredible musician.

[Hianndryv]

This just blows my mind O_O is so bloody amazing

[amunt3r]

If you want to purchase these as MP3s go to Radiohead's UK merchandise store: w.a.s.t.e.

[leungsz]

I agree. My list of five:

1) Hail to the Thief

2) In Rainbows

3) Kid A

4) Amnesiac

5) OK Computer

You might say it's OK Computer that started it all for Radiohead, but I actually think Kid A is the catalyst for the Radiohead sound that we are all so familiar with today. And it was perfected with Hail to the Thief.

[obliviouspet]

we must be the same person, living in distant parallel unverses, separated by billions of lightyears of black matter, wormholes and galaxies ; )

btw, everyone keeps asking why i rate OK computer 5th. mind you, this doesnt mean i dislike ok computer, lol. it just means i like the preceding 4 even more. sheesh, music is a matter of taste, and therefor relative.

anyway, emnor, thanks for your reply

take care

@CheshireCatty

damn right

hes a real genius and, what is also important, he knows, when its better for a song to stay in the background
