We have to do much more than believe if we really want to change things.
Love, you drive me to distraction.
So I watched the Pink Panther last night, and so I'm trying desperately to be funny, and then it's just not working out so good... I wonder if maybe I could've been a comedian or something like that, or maybe I could've been a doctor, then I wouldn't have to make anyone laugh.
You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing, you seek up an emotion sometimes your well is dry
Everyday should be a good day to die
Don’t you rob yourself of what you’re feeling; don’t rob yourself of all that you could be.
If you hold on tight to what you think is your thing you may find you re missing all the rest
She runs up into the light surprised Her arms are opened Her mind's eye is Seeing things from a better side than most can dream
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash You think you can, you think you can Sometimes that is the problem Dream little darling dream
Nothing is here to stay Everything has to begin and end A ship in a bottle won't sail All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water A ship in a bottle set sail
Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping Tom for the mother station
Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street
When you can no longer differentiate between the insanity spewed onto the blank page, and the madness evident in the all-but shattered mirror...that's when you know you're doing it right.
Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.
