Been thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one, and you're now a star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when the other men are far, far better?
All the things you got,
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes,
Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey
I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
Those people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know.
Why should you care when I'm not there?
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when I'm not there?
All the things you got
That you'll never need
All the things you got
I'm played out and bleed to please you
Been thinking about you...
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one, and you're now a star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when the other men are far, far better?
All the things you got,
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes,
Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey
I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
Those people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know.
Why should you care when I'm not there?
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when I'm not there?
All the things you got
That you'll never need
All the things you got
I'm played out and bleed to please you
Been thinking about you...

It only serves to make the song more sad, not perverted. Radiohead (read: Thom) builds up this image of longing and loss and caps it off with jerking it in bed, making it more pathetic and more real.
People are saying he's playing with his own emotions, meaning he's lying to himself because part of him believes she'll come back. There's none of that in the song. He's bitter ('how can you sleep?') but not in denial.
"Shit, I still love you, still see you in bed"
was actually
"Should I still love you? Just to see you in bed"
That wouldn't be nice, the relationship between would have just been a physical/sexual one
sounds like something radiohead might write about.. the latter lyrics sounds like what i'm hearing and possibly what i'm going through right now
Been thinking about you, your records are here
(He owns her albums, probably listening to them)
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
(Posters on the wall)
records being pictures, letters, or just the letter saying that person has passed away.
no one can really tell you the true radiohead song meanings...only radiohead can and they dont because that just takes that fun out of everything.
JUST BE HAPPY THEYRE MAKING MUSIC FOR YOU!
