Paranoid Android
Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that... [I may be paranoid, but I'm no android]
What's that... [I may be paranoid, but I'm no android]
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that... [I may be paranoid, but I'm no android]
What's that... [I may be paranoid, but I'm no android]
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing, Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name
I guess he does
Rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
From a great height
from a great height... height...
Rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
From a great height
from a great height... height...
Rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
[That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit]
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!
Featuring one of the best guitar solos ever, this song was originally about 7-8 minutes long with an extended ending featuring an organ solo. The early version is worth tracking down.
The first single from OK Computer, a sprawling epic that contains everything bar the kitchen sink. "When I am king, you will be first against the wall" sneers Yorke over the songs schizoid mood changes.
