What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace

Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a Chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life

Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease
An English disease
It won't let go
It won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What did you put in that syringe?
Whatever you really said to him?
Is sitting there, inside of me

And you bother me
You possess me
You're there again
Ahead of me
And I won't let go
I won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head

    General Comment:I love this song so much!
    Noone has really said anything about the meaning, so I may as well make a stab at it!
    For me its about someone getting under your skin and dragging you down. Like someone saying something that significantly effects you and you go over it in your head. Like their voice repeating it to you, bringing you down and taking you over completely. Then people watching as you are being broken down, laughing at you and no matter how much you struggle you can't get away and it won't stop.
    It makes me think of someone being tortured and controlled completely by a voice in thier head.

    Could be wrong

    General Comment:thom yorke shows an amazing range in this song with his voice.

    i think it's about drugs. "Chinese Burn" could refer to the Opium they created. meh, just an idea.

    General Comment:Why doesn't this song have more comments?????
    This is one of my fave songs!!!!!
    I think this song is about someone driving you crazy, but it might be about something deeper than that...I'm not quite sure, but this is an awesome song, and needs way more comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    General Comment:I really love this song. The whole verse of "I've got a disease, and english disease" is a really great shot at all brit-pop (i love it, though, I do). I think its one of their better earlier albums. Woot.
