I bet you think that's pretty clever
Don't you boy
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing you have had, has gone away
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

Bruh, In Rainbows was a legit release.
I hope RadioHead will release new songs similar to their work in the 90's soon...!

This is a tolerable RHead song. Until the critics told everyone how much you should love them and their crappy later music, and everyone in the echo chamber agreed even though the emperor had no clothes.

Astounding song - the absolute wealth in their catalogue.... Damn...
Good tune! They played it a lot on the radio & I never knew who it was. Thanx RP!

I know the feeling! For 10 full years, I called Tokyo home. I was living in Ishikawa when this rocked the world, though. It was obscure, but I did know of it when I lived in Noto from '93-2000. From 2002-12, I lived in Akatsutsumi, Setagaya-ku, a few minutes down the tracks from the incredibly hip and surreal party enclave of Shimokitazawa, and Radiohead ruled! That was maybe the best decade of my life! (Till Fukushima made me flee; the effects are becoming obvious -- is it a co-incidence The Pacific is so warm and all that crazy weather has affected so much and so many? 3 of the 6 reactors that powered the world's biggest metropolis gave up their heat to the environment and are STILL MELTING, STILL LEAKING, and NOTHING that has worked has been done to mitigate it...) The Japanese government said, "Don't worry, it's a safe level or radiation." HA! Yeah, right... And the very next day, vthe US Embassy made us come get our potassium iodide tablets to protect our thyroid glands. I got the hell out of there and back to Colorado. All of that aside, I still often dream in Japanese, and in my dreams I still eat aburi shimesaba and drink ji-zake all night at Shirube, then drink at Mother's, around the corner, till dawn! and shoot the shit with locals just like I used to regularly when I lived there! RP and Radiohead are true constants!

I was lucky enough to see these guys twice in the early days. Once at Brixton Academy in London as the support act for James but also in a really small club in Reading, Berkshire (the name escapes me now) when there could only have been about 60 people there. Both would have been the Pablo Honey days. Saw them at the Reading Festival many years later (late 2000's?) when they pretty much played their newer stuff which I've never really "got". It was quite boring...
Rush fan here. Thom's vocals aren't whiny. LOL

Anyway, if you like this song, then listen to the Bends. To me, they're a band with quite a different sound back then... much more poppy. It's pretty easy to get into that era of Radiohead. Then branch out into the newer stuff. Personally, I think Moon-shaped Pool is pretty accessible, you just have to give it a chance to get its hooks into you. I've bounced off their albums in recent years to varying degrees, but MSP was in my car for months an became the theme to a whole period of my life.
I guess if you don;t like Thom's vocals (which can be a bit whiney according to some) then you might be less inclines to really love some parts of their later albums. But hopefully you give them a chance. It's always the albums that take the longest to get into that have the most to replayability and longevity.
Hmmm, I've just made myself want to go back and give King of Limbs another go...
Delayed THANK YOU here Ringo...and since then I've gone to a 9 on this one. And agreement on how time of life, or the happenstance, when hearing albums does impart a lot into future listenings...just before the Stay Home order in March I had this CD from the library and really enjoyed it. LLRP!!

Ah...The Bends. So many excellent memories from this album riding my bike along the bike path between Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach Boardwalk with this brilliant music playing in my headphones providing a perfect soundtrack to blissful summer days. Turned me into a lifelong Radiohead fan.

Pretty close to my reaction too! And for me, as I try to enjoy RH tracks more and more, I actually bumped by original 3 rating on this track to a 5.
I forget which track I commented on asking for some sort of "intro to RH" tracks to try and get on the bandwagon. I forget the names of the 2 or 3 RH tracks I enjoy; ultimately, I think I need to listen to entire albums of theirs, they seem more concept than single track minded group. Is that true? Really any feedback from RH fans is welcomed.

i thought they were just another 'grunge' flavor of the month band in the '90's
but anyway, 'The Bends', of course in my opinion is timeless

Expect that I cant afford to see them at a show this year. That sucks.
I heard "Creep" on the radio in '92 and thought this was the next Nirvana... but... as much as I admire the skillfulness and apparent sincerity with which they record their songs... I still best like the sort of punkish, self-deprecating simplicity of that early effort. I either love or hate these guys since then, song by song. I guess that speaks well of their originality and 'eclecticism'. Still, I like that clean and lean effort-less quality of their early work.

Totally agree. They broke through a barrier with this album and just continued with OK Computer and on and on

Don't really know the George Michael albums but the rest of the list is great...
Idle thought that may engender death threats: RP plays this band way too much. This isn't a bad song, and Thom is making a notable effort to sing with a normal, on-key voice, but the Radiohead mystique is wearing thin for me.
Listen Without Prejudice is waaaay better than it has any right to be. I loved that album when it came out, lots of beautiful melancholia and celebratory destruction of his previous record-company-required persona.

Much like Beck's "Loser," this song put them on the map, but has grown difficult to listen to anymore.

I, too, felt this way a few years ago. Then, suddenly one day, I "got it." It was like the stars realigned or something. Now I can't understand my earlier feelings. Now, these guys send shivers up my spine.

I covered this song in a high school talent show, little old me on my acoustic guitar. Every other act was a male "Korn" type band, screaming and all. I really stood out. I have no idea where I got the balls to do that. I was braver then I suppose.

Still trying to figure out why they're so popular. To each his or her own, I guess. Lots of people dog music I love, but I'm doing my best to get a handle on Radiohead.

Competent? In the pantheon of modern rythm music they are the dog's bollocks. After years as an oilfield diver, this album truly resonates.

But applying it to Radiohead is incomprehensible unless you've never seen them live, seen a video of theirs, or listened through and through to their albums. These boys from Oxford got lots of soul, and heart, and brains, and talent, and............

"Soulless" an appelation I totally understand and apply to a number of artists - recently talked about it with the friends in the contex of "corporate country music," it applied to rock bands like Boston back in the day.
But applying it to Radiohead is incomprehensible unless you've never seen them live, seen a video of theirs, or listened through and through to their albums. These boys from Oxford got lots of soul, and heart, and brains, and talent, and............

OK, I guess I dislike Radiohead. But not really. Hell, I don't care, I'm not gonna change the station or anything.

Thank you for playing this song. 
Best pop song ever written by this amazingly vital, progressive, challenging band.

Coldplay was definitely right about the"better musicians" part.

and the rest as well. Haaaa...! This statement could have been mine!
Funny!!
I like 50% of Radiohead's music.
I am not saying this song is not good or mediocre. Possibly not!
But I certainly do not like it! If this shall be a 10 (or more) I wonder how
you might rate CROWDED HOUSE (since it could be there song, in structure).
It's the best thing that you ever had.
I wish I could give it 11
Always brings back melancholic memories.
Nice call!!!

I like this one but, funny enough, I love the cover Jamie Cullum did! I wish that would be part of one of Bills playlists...
Sentimental Radiohead!

i disagree, Coldplay are all, "Para Para Paradise" Radiohead are all Let Down.
Coldplay are generally happy, Radiohead is "slit my wrists music" as my wife says (along with PF, PT, Elliott Smith etc.)

I wonder if there's ever been back to back album releases that are as good as The Bends and OK Computer...

However sad and down I may feel, this song always puts a smile on my face. Magic:)
Perhaps Radioheads happiest song!
How's your volume today, Romeo?

Great show last night in Atlanta. Did not play this, unfortunately, last ending punch of "Reckoner" and "Street Spirit" was just incredible.

Great stuff. These guys have made some tremendous music through the years. I hear people say that Coldplay are the Radiohead of the 21st century, but I don't buy it. : )

Almost forgot how great this song was until I heard it while watching the movie 50/50 last week. Great flick by the way.

Fine! I'll submit, I like this song... A lot! So much emotion put into this. I usually find that Radiohead takes things to the extremes, but here... Whow.
Fantastic. I'm feeling how Thom sounds in this song :(
I played this just last night with my band at a pub :) Radiohead 
It pleases my wizards
It eases my gizards
