Excerpt from an interview with Thom Yorke on XFM, 21 August 2006:
Kennedy: "Now is that one of the love songs that you referred to earlier on?"
Thom Yorke: "Yeah... kind of. It's a bit messed up for that. It sounds like it's more of a love song than it really is. It's actually a song... it's more about the dislocation than anything else to me. When I... when I sing it, I always have this image of slick black oil"
Interviewer: "So that's what you're thinking about when you're performing that?"
Thom Yorke: "Yeah, that and sex"
