Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 nice list, Lera. i like many mentions of those. but maybe my list can still surprise you :mellow: i have some songs in my top 10 that you don't have on your list :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lera Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well as I said I definitely forgot something important :anxious: Though maybe you've got some secret b-sides Thomas Edward sent you personally in a huge box made of gold and iron :bigcry: *looking forward* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 20. Talk Show Host appears on: Street Spirit (Fade Out) The most famous Radiohead b-side by miles. I heard this song too many times, i think. Still a great song, though. I like the drums in it. This song will always be "the bridge between The Bends and OKC" for me. I want to I want to be someone else or I'll explode Floating upon this surface for the birds The birds The birds You want me? Fucking, well come and find me I'll be waiting With a gun and a pack of sandwiches And nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing You want me? Well, come on and break the door down You want me? Fucking come on and break the door down I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 19. The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy appears on: Pyramid Song What i like about Amnesiac b-sides that they could easily make up a great EP. What i don't like is that it never happened. One of the strangest Radiohead tunes. This song has unforgettable atmosphere. I want to see you smile again Like diamonds in the dust The amazing sound of the killing hordes The day the banks collapse on us Cease this endless chattering Like everything is fine When sorry is not good enough Sit in the back while no-one drives I'm so glad you're mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 18. All I Need unreleased Another new song which might sound brilliant in the studio. I'm the next act waiting in the wings I'm an animal trapped in your hot car I only stick with you because there are no others you are all I need you are all I need I'm in the middle of the picture lying in the leaves I'm a moth who wants to get out of the night I'm an insect who just wants to share your light I am all the days that you choose to ignore you only stick with me because there are no others you are all I need you are all I need I'm in the middle of the picture lying in the leaves it's all wrong it's all right it's all wrong it's all right it's all wrong it's all right it's all wrong it's all right it's all wrong it's all right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 17. Lift unreleased One of the most uplifting songs by Radiohead. Huge fan favourite. Was considered for OKC, but was dropped. Never released in any form, unfortunately and probably will never be... :( Last live appearance: 2002/08/06 Salamanca This is the place Sit down, you're safe now You've been stuck in a lift We've been trying to reach you, Thom This is the place It won't hurt, it will not hurt A smell of recognition A face you barely loved Empty all your pockets 'Cause it's time to go home This is the place Remembering all the things you always see You've been stuck in a lift In the belly of a whale At the bottom of the ocean A smell of recognition A face you barely loved Empty all your pockets 'Cause it's time to go home Today is the first day of the rest of your days So lighten up, squirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My (extremely incomplete) favorite 15: A Reminder Meeting in the Aisle True Love Waits 15 Step Permanent Daylight Polyethylene The Amazing Sounds of Orgy (This has inspired so much of my creative writing lately. It's so moody it's perfect.) Down is the New Up Pearly I Want None of This Lull Lozenge of Love (This always gives me butterflies in my stomach for some reason.) Melatonin (I'm a total sucker for a good lullaby. Especially when Thom sings it.) Banana Co Molasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 16. Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong appears on: My Iron Lung EP This song means a lot to me, i handle it as something very personal. The line "A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust" perfectly fits into my situation as well... Beatiful song. I wrapped you inside my coat When they came to firebomb the house I didn't feel pain, 'cause no one can touch me Now that I'm held in your spell A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust Sell me a car that goes Sell me a house that stands I never cared before, I never cared before I never cared before, before, before, before A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust I stood in front of her face When the first bullet was shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 4 or so on my list are among my favorite Radiohead songs in general. The OK Computer b-sides in particular would be good enough for the album for the most part- better than many good bands could ever hope to write. Amazing stuff.

Ondes Martenot Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 15. Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2) appears on: Paranoid Android and Airbag/How Am I Driving EP A song about modern life as many OKC era songs are. If there's anything that should have been replaced on OKC, then probably Polyethylene should have been put there instead of Electioneering. Probably, probably not. Not a b-side material for sure. Disjointed Scare ourselves of all that you wanna be Just got paid and now your going How long should you be If I get scared I'll just call you And I miss your glow as I unsettle And I will always feel I will always be All right, one, two, three, four So sad you're sitting tight well come and live with me Leukemia schizophrenia polyethylene There is no significant risk to your health She used to be beautiful once as well Plastic bag middle class polyethylene Decaffeinate, I'll let it keep all surfaces clean If you don't believe me, sell your soul If you don't get into it, no one will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 14. Cuttooth appears on: Knives Out This song is just wow! I can't believe it ended as a b-side. I will lead a wallpaper life or run away to the foreign legion I will lead a wallpaper life or run away to the foreign legion as the tanks roll into town as the tanks roll into town a little bit of knowledge will destroy you a little bit of knowledge will destroy you as the tanks roll into town as the tanks roll into town a little bit of knowledge will destroy you a little bit of knowledge will destroy you I dont know why I feel so tongue-tied I dont know why I feel so skinned alive run until your lungs are sore until you cannot feel it any more run until your lungs are sore until you find an open door I built you up to pull you down tie you to your feet and watch you drown a little bit of knowledge will destroy you a little bit of knowledge will destroy you I built you up to pull you down tie you to your stake and watch you burn in hell in hell I dont know why I feel so tongue-tied I dont know why I feel so skinned alive I'll find another skin to wear I'll find another skin to wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 13. Videotape unreleased I feel quite oddly about Videotape. The debut of it on May 18th in London was so beatiful and powerful, that it could easily be one of the best Radiohead songs ever. The latter appearances of Videotape weren't too convincing. I can only hope they won't majorly screw it up in the studio. The lyrics are great by the way. when I'm at the pearly gates this'll be on my videotape my videotape when Mephistopholis is just beneath and he's reaching up to grab me this is one for the good days and I have it all here in red blue green in red blue green you are my centre when I spin away out of control on videotape on videotape on videotape this is my way of saying goodbye because I can't do it face to face no matter what happens now I won't be afraid because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 12. Fog appears on: Knives Out, Go To Sleep (as Fog (Again)) and Com Lag EP (as Fog (Again)) This is the song that you could play your child and (s)he would absolutely adore it. There's a little child Runnin' 'round this house And he never leaves He will never leave And the fog comes up From the sewers and Glows in the dark Baby alligators in the sewers Grow up fast Grow up fast Anything you want it can be done now How did you bad? Did you go bad? Did you go bad? Some things will never wash away Did you go bad? Did you go bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 11. Permanent Daylight appears on: My Iron Lung EP Originally debuted as instrumental in '93. "Sonic Youth tribute" as said by the band. The song is about fear of reality in my opinion. I can't really interpret it further though, just feel like it is. Confusing as hell. The easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that I don't exist The easiest way to sell your soul is to carry on believing that we don't exist It must be hard With your head on backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
