This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Go
Tears of joy now scare ourselves of all that you want to be
Just got paid and now you're going
'Round inside your place
If I get scared I'll just call you
And I'll miss your glow as I unsettle
Oh, and I'll always feel, I will always be-
Right, one, two, three, four
So sell your suit and tie and come and live with me
Leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene
There is no significant risk to your health
She used to be beautiful once as well
Plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene
Decaffeinate, unleaded, keep all surfaces clean
Oh
If you don't believe this, sell your soul
If you don't get into it, no one will
Oh, oh, oh
No, oh, oh

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's Polyethylene, dude!
This is one of my favorite Radiohead songs, and I can't decipher most of the lyrics. Oh well. Notice how the words have become increasingly less important with this band. With "Pablo Honey" and "The Bends", the lyrics were really needed to understand the point behind the songs. Play anything from "Kid A" or especially "Amnesiac", sans Yorke's voice, and it would still convey an almost identical meaning.
Although yes, I am of the opinion that Thom Yorke's voice is one of the few easily recognizable things in music nowadays, things running together, bands changing, yikes . . .
What an overwhelmingly ethereal song.
The first part is sone of the most delicate sounding,soft Radiohead I've heard. Then the second is the perhaps the most passionate, explosive Radiohead I've heard.
The instruments, and thom's bursting voice in this one only make the lyrics stronger. The song generally goes along with the overarching OK Computer themes; isolation from and dissatisfaction with society, or society as we see it. I'm not sure I'd analyze the lyrics too in depth on this one, they really seem to be jumbled but impassioned, much like the song itself.
Nevertheless, in the last stanza especially, there seems to be a bit of a lament towards the aesthetic, mass-produced, and generic goods that seem to match society itself (especially Plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene /Decaffeinate, unleaded, keep all surfaces clean").
a good song for all those diehard rh fans
Only 4 comments on that song!!!! That's one of my favorites ever!!!! Thats song is awesome!
radiohead is the band. anything is good. this song shows it.
I just love the flow of it all... Leukemia schizophrenia polyethylene... it's just beautiful. The guitar and drums and bass... all of it... Colin's the best bassist ever.
This is one of my favorite songs by them. It has the great dynamic because of the two parts- absolutely wicked. When it talks about how she used to be beautiful its obviously mimicking the lies in society farce in society whatever Thom's rallying against today.
This song is absolutley beautiful. A fricken masterpiece to be honored.
THANKYOU ALL FOR RECOGNIZING A RH CLASSIC, this is perhaps one of the greatest RH rock songs ever. I own a thick stash of their mp3's but this one sticks out as if it was a single. I think any fan of the old school RH will enjoy it, and anyone of the new school (like me) should give props to such a beautiful gem like Polyethelyne. just beautiful.
