Radiohead – No Surprises Lyrics 8 years ago
@[Pixiedust:7771] Junkee I think that PairOFish' interpretation and yours together quite perfectly describe this song. I believe the part "I'll take a quiet life, A handshake of carbon monoxide" refers to suicide, or more specifically, a method of suicide where you keep the engine of your car running in a garage, slowly dying from the cabon monoxide levels rising.
"My final bellyache" might even refer to the last pain you might feel while committing suicide in such a way. Can't have a way of knowing this for sure, of course.

@[PairOFish:7770] Great interpretation, I think. As you pointed out, this description totally fits with the music video.
