I grew up under Thatcher. I grew up believing that I was fundamentally powerless. Then gradually over the years it occurred to me that this was actually a very convenient myth for the state.
I don't eat food, I Thom Yorke it. What's the difference? When normal people "eat" food, they first chew it with their "teeth" until it's small enough to go through their "esophagus" and then be broken down in their "stomach" and absorbed. When I Thom Yorke food, I chew it with my Thom Yorkes until it's small enough to go through my Yorke tube. It's then broken down in my Thomach, where if I eat too much sweets, I get a mean Thommy ache! But it's okay because Jonny's usually there to rub the pain out.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.
Isn't it strange how someone can be both human and divine at the same time? I am referring, of course, to myself.
My uncle used to sit me on his lap and play "ventriloquist", only I wasn't wearing pants.

Whenever I meet a beauty, I escape or hide in the corner.

I bought a blimp just so I could get a bunch of wankers excited over nothing, what did you do with your weekend?
At a better pace Slower and more calculated No chance of escape
I have multiple personalities, but, being a fairly uncreative individual, they are all Thom Yorke.
