Thom yorke — Feeling pulled apart by horses and The Hollow earth
Lyrics
feeling pulled apart by horses
insect bites, machine-gun cameras
fobbed off with lame shite excuses
I’ve no sons and I’ve no daughters
feeling pulled apart by horses
The hollow earth
without a conscience
a hollow ring
lost in a maze
forgetting
throwing firecrackers
and dancing
lost in a maze
a hollow ring
a dereliction
of duty
a pitiful
display
stamping the hollow earth
a pity
and throwing firecrackers
hopelessly
Sit Down, Stand Up
Sit Down, Stand Up
Sit down, stand up
Sit down, stand up
Walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
Walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
Anytime (sit down)
Anytime (stand up)
Sit down, stand up
Sit down, stand up
We can wipe you out anytime (sit down, stand up)
We can wipe you out (sit down, stand up)
Anytime
Anytime
Stand [...]
2+2=5
2+2=5
Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights?
I’ll stay home forever
Where two & two always
makes up five
I’ll lay down the tracks
Sandbag & hide
January has April’s showers
And two & two always
makes up five
It’s the devil’s way now
There is no way out
You can scream & you
can shout
It is too late now
Because
You have not been
paying attention
I [...]
4 Minute Warning
4 Minute Warning
This is just a nightmare
Soon I’m going to wake up
Someone’s gonna bring me ’round
Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Steping over heads
Running from the underground
This is your warning
4 minute warning
I don’t wanna hear it
I don’t wanna know
I just wanna run and hide
This is just [...]
Bangers n Mash
Bangers n Mash
You bit me, bit me, bit me, ow
You bit me, bit me, now I want more
Standing in the hall
Kicking out the wall
It’s all been sent to recover hell
The bangers and the mash
The negatives for cash
You’re either in the club, baby, or you’re not
Whatever turns you on
Whatever gets you off
Chief of police or vice-chancellor
Lord [...]
Up on the Ladder
Up on the Ladder
I’m stuck in the tardis
trapped in hyperspace
one minute snake charming
the next in a motorcade
all the right moves and
earn the right percent
watch me dance like a puppet
you can almost see the strings
give me an answer
give [...]
Last Flowers
Last Flowers
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people’s toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can’t face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me then you’ll get relief
relief, relief, relief, …
And if I’m gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don’t interrupt
Just sit back and listen
Cause I can’t face the evening [...]
Go Slowly
Go Slowly
Over here
Come slowly
Come slowly to me
I’ve been waiting
Patient
Patiently
I didn’t
But now I can see
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
Down Is the New Up
Down Is the New Up
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 [...]
Videotape
Videotape
When I’m at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he’s reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of [...]
Jigsaw Falling into Place
Jigsaw Falling into Place
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you’ve had too much
Come back in focus again
The walls are bending shape
You got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This [...]
House of Cards
House of Cards
I don’t want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Fall off the table,
Get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your [...]

Reckoner
Reckoner
You can’t take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all you
all human beings
Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore
(in rainbows)
Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore
(in rainbows)
Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all you
all human beings

One two three four
Wakey wakey
rise and shine
it’s on again, off again, on again
watch me fall
like dominos
in pretty patterns
fingers in the blackbird pie
I’m tingling, tingling, tingling
it’s what you feel now
what you ought to, what you ought to
reasonable and sensible
dead from the neck up
because I’m stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
we thought you had it in you
but no, no, [...]
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I’d be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by [...]
All I Need
All I Need
I’m the next act
waiting in the wings
I’m an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
that you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You are all I need
I’m in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
I am a moth
who just wants to share your light
I’m just an insect
trying to get out [...]
Nude
Nude
Don’t get any big ideas
they’re not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
and feel up with noise
but there’ll be something missing
Now that you’ve found it, it’s gone
Now that you feel it, you don’t
You’ve gone off the rails
So don’t get any big ideas
they’re not going to happen
You’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is [...]
Bodysnatchers
Bodysnatchers
I do not
Understand
What it is
I’ve done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no
I have no idea what I am talking about
I am trapped in this body and can’t get out
Ooooohhhh
You killed the sound
removed backbone
A pale imitation
With the edges
Sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with [...]

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won’t take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won’t take my eyes off the ball again
You reel [...]
