Bummed out again by your only business friend
The smell of fear is thicker than you think
Don't do it, don't jump
Changed shape to fit, in the end you just feel sick
A million love songs under anaesthetic
Hey don't do it, don't jump
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really mattered
We never noticed, we never understood
He just get crushed to fit, he never even smelt out the best
It's the best, it's the best day of your life
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really matters
No, I swear, I swear, I swear
Oh, mistreated, a low corporate
Mistreated, a low corporate
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis
I don't want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis
The smell of fear is thicker than you think
Don't do it, don't jump
Changed shape to fit, in the end you just feel sick
A million love songs under anaesthetic
Hey don't do it, don't jump
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really mattered
We never noticed, we never understood
He just get crushed to fit, he never even smelt out the best
It's the best, it's the best day of your life
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really matters
No, I swear, I swear, I swear
Oh, mistreated, a low corporate
Mistreated, a low corporate
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis
I don't want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis

"Lewis don't...jump" in that pause it kinda seems like he jumped, sad really.
The rest of the song is probably him talking to someone about Lewis committing suicide, and then Thom gets angry and refuses to talk anymore, it happens when people who have had someone close to them die, they don't want to talk about it.
This is all coming from first hand experience, knowing how depression and suicide comes about.
Just my interpretation =D
Rock (and Radiohead) is greatest when it puts together great creative art, poignancy, and the power that is evident in songs like this. Great layered sophisticated music/art can be served up in a dish of kick ass rock and roll and guitar riffs, and radiohead have proved that and continue to prove that altho more sporadically than I would crave.
He works in a dead end office job and he's looking for a new job, and Yorke's all like, "Dude don't do it you're better off like this than like all those other people doing other things."

I don't actually know what this song is about but I love it anyway.
My Iron Lung EP
anyway, i personally thought they were a pretty decent band, though an unfortunate name (\"unbelievable truth\"... \'i can\'t wait\' is good in my opinion)
well i doubt it is written about his brother because that would be a pretty mean and discouraging message... but it\'s still an amusing thought to me... poor andy... look up pictures of him people, it\'s eerie! it\'s like thom yorke gained 20 pounds plus some glasses... WEIRD.
