I'm nobody's fool
And you can't bring me down
I am not the fool
That you think I am
All will be revealed
I keep the spirit alive
Passed from me to you
Alive
What we know is true
I wish you well
Pray for peace
A magic spell that sends you all to sleep
The shadow around your eyes
I keep the spirit alive
Before it's all forgot, fluids and oxygen
I'm still here waiting in line
I keep my boat tied up
Passed from me to you
Tied up
What we know is true
I keep my spirit light
There's a brain in there somewhere
I drink this bottle dry
They can't break me if they try
Life goes where it goes
I will keep this spirit alive
Before it's all forgot
Alive
Fluids and oxygen
I wish you well, pray for peace
For your soul upon a journey
The shadows around your eyes
I'll keep the spirit alive
Before it's all forgot, fluids and oxygen
And you can't bring me down
I am not the fool
That you think I am
All will be revealed
I keep the spirit alive
Passed from me to you
Alive
What we know is true
I wish you well
Pray for peace
A magic spell that sends you all to sleep
The shadow around your eyes
I keep the spirit alive
Before it's all forgot, fluids and oxygen
I'm still here waiting in line
I keep my boat tied up
Passed from me to you
Tied up
What we know is true
I keep my spirit light
There's a brain in there somewhere
I drink this bottle dry
They can't break me if they try
Life goes where it goes
I will keep this spirit alive
Before it's all forgot
Alive
Fluids and oxygen
I wish you well, pray for peace
For your soul upon a journey
The shadows around your eyes
I'll keep the spirit alive
Before it's all forgot, fluids and oxygen

It's twice as awful as ordinary TY droning crap.
I’m curious to know what Thom Yorke did on this to get billed twice. Or are there two Thom Yorkes? (Artist is currently listed as “Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke & Thom Yorke”)

"What is this awful grating whine?"

"Oh. Yorke, in yet another project. Of course."
Why oh why is this crap so revered?

TinyRuss don’t you know? Everything Thom does is done just to make you post about how much you hate his music. Well done Thom. You got little Russ to listen to you again.
How much garbage can Yorke put out in one year? Will no labels just say "no"?

Ummm, no. Let's face it. Thom doesn't have a great voice, and it shows here with so little background to disguise it.
Couldn't even finish it.

My wee lad used to play with those little modular synths, I dunno if they sounded great, but he sure had fun plugging and plugging things.

It’s nice to hear something new on RP. This one is quite likable.

Always exciting to hear a new Thom .Yorke project! This one feels like it's missing something, I was hoping for a second part of the song a bit more punchy, change of tone, less repetitive. Let's hear the rest.
Oh as most of Thom Yorke's work. It needs multiple listen, quiet, headphones on. To appreciate fully.

First! I thought this was Phosphorescent until the singing started.

Thom lives not far from me so I assume his situation is similar. The maximum a household can put out is regulated by the collection rota which alternates on a weekly basis between green bins (standard waste) on week one then blue (recycling) and brown (garden waste) on week two. Assuming that Thom has the same standard 360 litre bins as us he would have a maximum of just over 28,000 litres per year. The garden waste collection is optional though so if he doesn't have a garden or manages his own composting that would exclude a third of the potential output.
On the subject of labelling; only the garden waste involves a label which is generally applied to the lid of the bin to verify the subscription payment. If you don't opt in for this collection you don't get a label that says "no", you just don't get a label at all.
Since January it is now possible to put glass in the recycling and whilst this is more convenient the glass takes up some space so some of that 28,000 litre capacity will now have to include glass that would previously have been taken to the local bottle banks. That would indicate a reduction in what can be put out so hopefully that is good news for you but it does depend on how much glass Thom's household is consuming - it could be considerably less than we do.
