Pitch your newly pressed pop record
And the room was well inside
Until the faithful got the bends
And you never made amends
For the fielding error on the call
To play your best known song of all
I wanted to hate you
That was my first choice
I wanted to hate you
Until I heard your voice
My, how rude, so impolite
All this on your night of nights
Little man of smallish frame
Crushed beneath your pop band name
Your table manners left behind
In an Oxfrd flat at suppertime
You came of range on centre stage
Now sleep's not all your losing.....

Thats funny...I honestly don't understand why people think Thom Yorke is such a dick though. He seems a little protective of his work and his image, but doesn't strike me as complete jerk like some would suggest. Would people rather he was a nice guy who played Creep upon request every time? Then Radiohead would be like Hootie & the Blowfish...nice guys who wrote that one song back in the 1990's, but no one really cares about anymore.
