For some reason, I like this version better as well. Something about the phrase "Morning Bell" sounds like being peacefully roused from a good sleep (ie, the realization the protaganist wants out after unconscious stagnation in a bad marriage). I mildly dislike the drums in the Kid A version, as it supplants my vision of a quiet spring morning waking.
It means something completely different when you don't consider the lyrics, and is one of the few Radiohead songs to which this words =/= music holds true.
