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 fuckin' special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing 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 fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh

She's running out again, oh
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

    Spot on Luro. So many funny/silly interpretations on here that back this up. It was obviously based to some extent on Thom's experiences as he was picked on a lot at school for his appearance. And he's also said, apparently:

    "when i wrote it" said Thom (Yorke), "i was in the middle of a really really serious obsession.it lasted about 8 months. And it was unsucessful, which made it even worse. she knows who she is" followmearound.com

    But, i'm not sure that can be entirely true as he had met Rachel by this time and they are still happily together. So clearly no unrequited love there.

    Not to mention the fact that Radiohead don't really write love songs (despite the many misguided interpretations to that effect on so many of the songs on this site.)

    And, he (Thom) has, on many many occasions, said how he was sick to death of performing the song - mostly as it took so long to get noticed (Pablo Honey) and they'd already written The Bends. Which as you mention, was vastly superior.
