| Just finished "Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes. Came downstairs and played "Jigsaw" on my guitar. | |
| Radiohead – Good Morning Mr. Magpie (Morning M'lord) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| God again? I think they're nearly all about God now, (or the human experience, or some ethereal spirituality). | |
| The Pogues – Rainy Night in Soho Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The gingerlady is Mary, mother of Jesus. | |
| Juliet Turner – Short Loan Only Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song is about her only brother James who died tragically and suddenly at 12 years old. Isn't it beautiful? ("another flower in the basket of the master"). | |

| Radiohead – These Are My Twisted Words Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it's about Jesus/God (or at least that that interpretation contributes significantly to the song's meaning). | |

| That's an interesting take on the album mcoxo 16. I can't help feeling that songs like 15 step, weird fishes and reckoner are more ethereal than a simple man/woman relationship. Then again, what is a relationship with another person other than a relationship with yourself? | |
| Radiohead – Reckoner Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| And the quote from Dante's Paradiso is surely not coincidental. But then again, twin rainbows appeared just before the first gig in Dublin??? ( - Thom shrugging his shoulders) | |
| Radiohead – Reckoner Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Reckoner is the tool you use in deciding how to live your life - what you do/say in any given situation. It stops when you stop. Much of what we do here is geared towards "pleasure". Distractors to living a good, morally- balanced life are eveywhere. They are often bittersweet in that the attainment of pleasure through a distractor usually has a downside (maybe not dancing?) You, as an individual are not to blame for these distractors. Dare not utter the word "devil". Each person is a new canvas. As we progress through life we develope in different directions - or different colours (all the inputs influence how we seperate - parents, upbringing, circumstance, distractors etc. and how we deal with those - using our reckoner). In the last verse the reckoner changes into something akin to God or nirvana. The reckoner is now all-knowing, all-wise. A plea for this reckoner to take us there too. And this reckoner, like the bittersweet distractor, is dedicated to everyone. It's a song of self judgement and a plea to have ultimate enlightenment in order to work it out. I suppose I'd describe it as a religious song (whether or not you believe in God). I find it very profound, and profound in its simplicity. And such beautiful music. |

I think this song's meaning is pretty straightforward. You meet a girl in a bar (take my hand, write my number down). She gets pissed. You take advantage for the sex. The place is set up for drunken encounters that end in sex (on a mission). You don't let her get away. You don't let her get lost in the music. You keep up the pretence of understanding the communication but the words really don't matter - they're a means to an end. The next day the enormity of what happened becomes clear. The embarrassment of the encounter, the expectations of the encounter - it's a nightmare. And the huge sense of shame - the light you can feel on your back. I've been there as I'm sure most have. Apparently it was the last song to be included on the album and only just made it. I can see why - all the other songs are about true communication. This one is a stand alone about deliberate falsity. |

| Folks, this song's about a one night stand. At least that's the basis for it. Possibly the best empathy I've ever felt about a one night stand. | |

Does anyone think that Thom sings "I'm an animal trapped in your hot cock" ? |
