Fredericton Geek Speak

Rockband has revived my love for this song.

Did you know: When it was first given limited release in September 1992, Radio 1 found it “too depressing”,^[1] and removed it from their playlist after airing it only twice. However, it subsequently became one of the band’s biggest hits, and became their sole Top 40 hit in the United States despite the success of their further albums in the country. It is featured in the game Rock Band.

I suppose lots of people find depressing Radiohead songs comforting.

Creep

When you were here before,
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special

But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She’s running out the door
She’s running out
She run run run run…
run…

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t belong here…
