Hey, here are the lyrics to the new Radiohead album "Hail To
The Thief". They might not be 100% correct or complete since
these lyrics are transcripts of the live performances. But
it will give you an idea of what the album is about.

My fav lyrics are "Punch Up" and "Wolf", which sounds/reads
like vintage Radiohead lyrics.



2+2=5

are you such a dreamer
to put the world to right?
i'll stay home forever
where two and two always make five

i'll lay down some track
and wait for a train
january has april showers
and two and two always makes five

it's the devil's way out
there's no way out
you can scream and you can shout
it is too late now
because you're not there
payin' attention
payin' attention

yeah i feel it, i need the attention
paying attention
and i need it, i need the attention
paying attention
because i like it, the attention
and the passion
the attention
the attention

you're ignorant of all i know
cos you're mine
cos you're mine

and i'm jealous of all you know
cos you're mine
cos you're mine
cos you're mine

you don't need to be so eczemic and lazy
cos you're mine
cos you're mine
cos you're my girl
cos you're my girl

don't question my authority
or put me in the box
cos you're mine
cos you're mine

don't ruin my security
i'll put you on your knees
cos you're mine
cos you're mine
cos you're mine
cos you're mine



Sit Down, Stand Up

sit down, stand up

sit down, stand up

walk into the jaws of hell
(sit down, stand up)

walk into the jaws of hell
(sit down, stand up)

sit down, stand up

sit down, stand up

we can wipe you out anytime
(sit down, stand up)

we can wipe you out
(sit down, stand up)

sit down, stand up
sit down, stand up
the rain drops, the rain drops
the rain drops, the rain drops
the rain drops, the rain drops
the rain drops, the rain drops



Sail To The Moon

i sucked the moon
i spoke too soon
and how much did it cost?
i was dropped upon
moonbeams
and sailed on shooting stars

maybe you'll
be president
but know right from wrong
or in the flood
you'll build an Ark

and sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon

Where I End And You Begin

theres a gap in the between
theres a gap where we meet
where i end and you begin

and i'm sorry for us
the dinosaurs roam the earth
the sky turned green
where i end and you begin
i am up in the clouds
i am up in the clouds
and i can't and i can't come down
i can watch and cant take part
where i end and where you start
where you you left me alone
you left me alone.

x'll mark the place
like parting the waves
like a house falls in the sea.

i will eat you all alive
i will eat you all alive
i will eat you all alive
i will eat you all alive

and therell be no more lies
there'll be no more lies
there'll be no more lies
there'll be no more lies



We Suck Young Blood

are you hungry?
are you sick?
are you begging for a break?
are you sweet?
are you fresh?
are you strung up by the wrists?

we suck young blood
are you fracturing?
did you do anything?
are you torn at the seams?
fleabitten, motheaten?
we suck young blood
we suck young blood

won't let the creeping ivy
won't let the nervous bury me
our veins are thin
our rivers poisoned
we want the sweet meats
we suck young blood



The Gloaming

There There

it can’t stop
i don’t walk on in your landscape
walk on the stairs
take me as i sleep
just cause you feel it
doesn’t mean it's there
just cos you feel it
doesn’t mean it's there

there's always a siren singing you to shipwreck.
(dont reach out, dont reach out)
stay 4ft away we'd be a walking disaster.
(dont reach out, dont reach out)

just cause you feel it, doesn't mean its there.
(there's someone on your shoulder, there's someone on your shoulder)
just coz you feel it, doesn't mean its there.
(there's someone on your shoulder, there's someone on your shoulder)
there there

why so green and lonely?
lonely
lonely
heaven sent you to me
to me
to me

we are accidents waiting,
waiting to happen.
we are accidents waiting,
waiting to happen.



I Will [fragment of lyrics]

rise up
shake the dust off
buckleup
meet the real world coming out of my shell
I wont let this happen to our children.
I will
lay me down in a bunker
underground.



A Punch Up At A Wedding

no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no

i don't know why you bother
nothing's ever good enough for you
i was there, it wasn't like that
you come here just to start a fight

you had to piss on our parade
you had the shred out our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punch up at a wedding

hypocrite, opportunist
don't infect me with your poisons
bully in a china shop
when i turn around you stay frozen to the spot

you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
like a drunken punch up at a wedding

the pointless snide remarks
of hammer-headed sharks
the pot will call the kettle black
in a drunken punch up at a wedding

no no no no no no
no no no no no no
no no no no no no



Myxomatosis

the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new-found friends
he said i been where i liked
i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
in screwed me in a vice
but now i don't know why i feel so tongue-tied

i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used in a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
and i don't know why i feel so tongue-tied
i don't know i feel so skinned alive



Scatterbrain

i'm walking out in a force ten gale
birds thrown around, bullets for hail
the roof is pulling off by its fingernails
your voice is rattling on my window sill
yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
any fool can easy pick a hole

i only wish I could fall in
a moving target in a firing range
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
lightning fuse, powercut
scatterbrain



Wolf At The Door

drag him out the window
dragging out your dead
singing

i miss you snakes and ladders
flip the lid out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head
knifes you in the neck
kicks you in the teeth
steel toe caps takes all your
credit cards step up get the gunge.
get the eggs
get the flan in the face
the flan in the face
the flan in the face

dance you fucker
dance you fucker
don't you dare
don't you dare
don't you flan in the face

take it with the love its given
take it with a pinch of salt
take it to the taxman
let me back, let me back i promise
to be good dont look i-in the mirror
at the face you dont recognize
help me call the doctor
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside

i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways
that he's gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don’t pay the ransom
but i'll never see 'em again
if i squeal to the cops

walking like a giant crane and with my
X ray eyes i strip you naked in a
tight little world and are you on the list?
stepford wives, who are we to complain?

investments and deals.
investments and deals
cold wives and mistresses.
cold wives and sunday papers
city boys in 1st class
dont know they're born
just know someone else is gonna
come and clean it up
born and raised for the job
someone always does
i wish you'd get up,
get over,
get up and turn this tape

i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone,
tells me all the ways that he's
gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don’t pay the ransom
but i'll never see 'em again
if i squeal to the cops

it doesn't bring you much if you still don't have the music...

thank you Mr IstenSzek Sir!



I can't wait for this album!

But I do have the music, that's the point. Live, but hey,
it's still better than a poke in the eye.
