True Love Waits

I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
It haunted all our days
And true love wins
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave
Don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kiss and smile

Just lonely, longing
Just lonely, longing



This song has now seen release on the I Might Be Wrong EP. It maybe a live version, but at least it's now been released in some form I suppose. Below is what I wrote about TLW a few years ago:

"what is left to say about this that hasnt already been said on every radiohead website and message board? this is one of the bands best songs and tragically has yet to be released. trying to compare it to another radiohead song is difficult, i suppose you could say 'how can u be sure?' but it is 100 times more powerful than that. basically its a classic love song and was once touted to be the first single from ok computer, even tho its been around for alot longer than that - probably written around 1994-5. the band have tried many times to record it, most recently for kid a and gave up on it. it could feature as a bside for one of the new singles but i think its doubtful. why release such a great song as a bside? it was played live only twice but due to the power of the internet almost everyone has heard it now. you should be able to find both versions on napster...the newer version from the show at tel aviv last year is acoustic and has lyric changes, it is also longer with thom repeating himself more. its still good but i prefer the original which has the synth line running through it."
