Lyric discussion by Max_Wayne 

How can so many people be so wrong about one song?

This song is about the conception of a sentient being. I.E. Kid A.

The phrase Everything in it's right place is common parlance for 'two eyes, two legs, four fingers and a thumb on each hand, etc.' In other words 'Kid A' has been brought into the world with no defects/mutations/disabilities.

The sucking a lemon, as already pointed out on this board, is a phrase referring to 'looking miserable'.

What is the first thing newborn babies do?

Why, cry of course! Face like he's sucking a lemon covered then.

There are two colours in my head.

I.E. black and white. As a newborn, Kid A is an innocent. He has no 'grey' concepts or befuddled morals. He is a blank slate without malice, and only the ability to distinguish between things that make him happy 'white' or make him unhappy 'black'.

The part which is most disturbing is the line 'What is that you tried to say.'

This implies that 'Kid A' has developed the first stage of sentience, the ability to understand speech. He is about to have all manner of dubious thoughts and concepts thrust into his open mind, corrupting the innocence therein, and robbing him of his monotonal morality.

Fare thee well Kid A.

God bless you, and all who sail in you.

You are kid a so am i and tom
