I want to see you smile again
Like diamonds in the dust
The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapse on us
Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine
When sorry is not good enough
Sit in the back while no-one drives
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine
Like diamonds in the dust
The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapse on us
Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine
When sorry is not good enough
Sit in the back while no-one drives
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine
So glad, so glad you're mine

How do I know -- Thom Yorke told me (well he told everyone at the Broomfield, CO show in March 2012: youtube.com/… )
Like diamonds in the dust"--> Her smile is tragically beautiful.
Symbolises a true but disfunctional love.
"The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapse on us"--> Glorifying the 'end of the world' or the collapse of a city.
Making the dysfunctional sound beautiful.
"Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine"--> stop talking mindless conversation as if everything is fine. This is probably making reference to both the collapse of the world and the collapse of themselves.
"When sorry is not good enough"-->It's too late, and whatever damage has been done.
"Sit in the back while no one drives"--> The feeling of being out of control.
"I'm so glad you're mine"-->This has to be my favourite line in the song. It is so sarcastic to me. It seems like he is saying it as if he is dellusional. As if they arn't his at all, but he is hoplessly sing ing it as if it will make it true.
Thats my take on the song really.
Has anyone ever seen 'Meeting People is Easy'? The band film where it shows them uncomfortably dealing with new found fame?
As i remember, theres a very brief snippet where frustrated THom is sitting down trying to explain economics to an uninterested interviewer. He's basically laying out our current predicament to a T and yet at the time it was taken as just more adorable eccentricty from an overly cerebral rock band (this had to be '97, '98).
Seeing that part of movie really makes something like Kid A make more sense. Radiohead miserbalism has never been a pose, more like a cause
limitless scenarios
limitless channels
on which to watch
who was right

who was right

who was right

a snippet from an older version of their site
but i read a drama once about a father who sexually abused his innocent young daughter.
and this song fits in with the story for me.
i don't think that this was the intended story from Yorke, and i really hope not to be honest!
but it does have an amazingly disgusting eerie feel to it that makes me relate it to that story.
'i want to see you smile again...'
'so glad you're mine'
you can see the father lookin down on her.
'sorry is not good enough'
this is her punishment...
sorry if i've ruined the song for anyone!!
