India Rubber
Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think I'll go plug in the mains
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself
Into your hands
When you spare a make-up smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How I was to know that
You practised it beforehand?
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself
Into your hands
This is another good Bside from The Bends. India Rubber is a very experimental track..a late 'Bends' b-side showing what was to come with OK Computer. Some people complain about the organ at the end but I like it. Also at the end you can hear samples of Thoms laughing. A lot of ppl ask who it is laughing but to me its always been obvious it was Thom although some people still think it is Jonny! If you've ever heard Thom talk then you will know its him. No question.
Anyway, the song is very moody and mellow. Itss sung in a dreamily kind of way and is very effective. To my knowledge its never been played live.
