I'm gonna have to say thats one of the most absurd interpretations I've ever heard.
Just because the song is sexy, doesn't mean its about sex.
I feel like Radiohead is definitely above the level of writing about such paltry and simple subjects.
but, to each their own.
at least, its not about thom having sex.
It can be taken to mean that power these days is derived from who you're sleeping with, or by being 'in' with whoever is 'sexy' at the right time. Sex is money. Money is power. Power is sexy.
It's about revenge.
You bit me, I've got the Poison.
I'm taking you down with me.
Like a virus.
Poison can feel good, empowering....
Feed you.
Ever hate anyone but like it?

It's political as well, that's given.
Pyramid.
Long fall from the top.
For those that claw their way to the top, fucking everyone and everything
along the way.

They do do this to themselves as well. I like what someone said about it being about getting caught with your pants down.
Misrepresentation, appealing to the masses......something musicians do sometimes as well......hmmm......

Rises and falls from power, climbing ladders, stepping on fingers with razor blade heels, kissing ass, paying the price, owning, being owned.
Cutting throats.
It's not about sex.
I don't think Thom is going to take down the Government, but it's OK to dream.
It's the Uni bombers theme song.

I like to follow this song up with Talking Heads - Blind.
