Likely lyrics that I've seen flowing around: Cheer the gallows This is a roundup This is a low flying panic attack Sing the song on the jukebox that goes: Burn the witch x2 We know where you live Red crosses on wooden doors If you float you burn Loose talk around tables Abandon all reason Avoid all eye contact Do not react Shoot the messengers This is a low flying panic attack Sing the song of sixpence that goes: Burn the witch x2 We know where you liveStay in the shadows
I mean, I love Radiohead and all, but do they just get their lyrics from a generator? reads like every. Radiohead. Song. Ever.
Agreed. On the first listen I felt like Thom had to struggle to fit his vocals and lyrics into this song. The orchestra is almost overpowering, and also very limited in its flexibility. Transitioning into the next section along with Thom's vocals is weirdly abrupt.
