Awake from your somber sleep my dear
For I will save you
embrace you
encase you in my haunted dreamy state.,
Run and fly and hide,
hide while you can,
deep, deep in the forest
filled with smoke and burning haze.,
Dream a tear and you will be saved,
The river flowing to a land safe and far far away,
Float on a gum leaf and whistle,
whistle till daybreaks.
AT WAR WITH MYSELF
-RADIOHEAD-
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
I’m at war with myself,
Fightin’ every
Thought that comes my way.
When I know it’s white,
My head says no, it’s black,
Or it could be gray.
When I tell myself to zig, then
I tell myself, “I should’ve
Zagged the other way.”
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
Verse 1
I debate and second guess
Every move that I make. I
Harshly judge myself,
Bemoan, belittle, and berate
I’m always saying one thing,
Then doing another. While
Giving voice to one side,
I’m siding with the other.
I am at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
Repeat Chorus
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
I’m at war with myself,
Fightin’ every
Thought that comes my way.
When I know it’s white,
My head says no, it’s black,
Or it could be gray.
When I tell myself to zig, then
I tell myself, “I should’ve
Zagged the other way.”
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
Verse 2
I fight this silent war,
Fearin’ I’ll never be free,
‘Cause I grew up with all this
Hypocrisy.
But the worst of it all,
I am enraged to admit,
Is that now I’ve become the
Hypocrite.
Yes, I’m at war with myself,
Taking issue with
Everything I say.
Chorus
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
I’m at war with myself,
Fightin’ every
Thought that comes my way.
When I know it’s white,
My head says no, it’s black,
Or it could be gray.
When I tell myself to zig, then
I tell myself, “I should’ve
Zagged the other way.”
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
Verse 3
I try to silence my mind, and
It gets noisier.
But, if I shut my mouth, my
Mind gets quieter.
Hypocrisy is silenced
From the outside in.
I gotta shut my mouth,
If I want to win.
I’m at war with myself,
Taking issue with
Everything I say.
Chorus
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
I’m at war with myself,
Fightin’ every
Thought that comes my way.
When I know it’s white,
My head says no, it’s black,
Or it could be gray.
When I tell myself to zig, then
I tell myself, “I should’ve
Zagged the other way.”
I’m at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
Verse 4
Focus on what I do,
Not what I decree,
I find myself standing
With Integrity.
I was a Hypocrite until I
Learned one day to
Focus on what I do,
Not what I say.
Chorus 2
I was at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with
Everything I say.
I was at war with myself,
Fightin’ every
Thought that came my way.
When I knew it was white,
My head said no, it’s black,
Or it could be gray.
When I told myself to zig, then
I told myself, “I should’ve
Zagged the other way.”
I was at war with myself,
Takin’ issue with everything I say.
Subterranian Homesick Alien
-RADIOHEAD-
The breath of the morning,
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
Where you can?t smell a thing,
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement.
Up above, aliens hover
Making home movies for the folk back home.
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits,
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.
They?re all...
Uptight.
I wish that they?d swoop down, in a country lane,
Late at night when I?m driving.
Take me onboard their beautiful ship, show me the world as I?d
love to see it.
I?d tell all my friends but they?d never believe me
They?d think that I?d finally lost it completely.
I?d show them the stars, and the meaning of life.
They?d shut me away, but I?d be alright.
Alright.
I?m just...
Uptight!
PURE MORNING
-PLACEBO-
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better ,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling [repeat three more times]
Pure morning, [repeat this three more times]
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling [repeat three more times]
Pure morning,[repeat this three more times]
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather
