My top 25 Non-album Radiohead songs

[MrMagpie]

To increase the HYPE for the Radiohead survivor polls that are now continuing, I have decided to start this thread similar to the one Nik did a while back.

 

If you want to download some of these songs visit this thread.

If you want just a song or two you can make a REQUEST and I'm sure somebody here will help you out.

 

Feel free to DISCUSS and DEBATE my selections as well as make your own SELECTIONS.

25. Worrywort

 

Found on the Knives Out single

Many people view this as one of the weaker Amnesiac b-sides but I love it. I really like the lyrics, especially the "Such a Beautiful Day" part.

You don't wanna talk to me,

You don't wanna say the words,

You try to get off the hook,

You try to get off the hook.

Sprawling on a pin,

Hanging off the hook,

Trying to get yourself away,

Trying to get yourself away.

 

There's no use dwelling on,

On what might have been,

Just think of all the fun,

You could be having.

 

We know the way you talk,

We know what you want,

We know what you want,

What you really wanted.

 

Take a look around,

There's candles on the cake,

On what might have been,

The road you should have took,

Mistakes mistaken

 

There's no use dwelling on,

No use dwelling on.

 

It's such a beautiful day,

It's such a beautiful day,

Find yourself a ????,

Go and get some rest.

 

It's such a beautiful day.

It's such a beautiful day.

Go up to the mic,

Go up to the mic,

Go and get some rest.

This song is originally from the OK Computer era but never properly released until last year on the In Rainbows bonus disc. My favourite version is from the Trade Justice Movement show in 2005. The version from the Basement is also great.

Appliances have gone berserk

I cannot keep up

Treading on people's toes

Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight

You can offer me escape

Houses move and houses speak

If you take me then you'll get relief

relief, relief, relief, ...

And if I'm gonna talk

I just wanna talk

Please don't interrupt

Just sit back and listen

Cause I can't face the evening straight

And you can offer me escape

Houses move and houses speak

If you take me then you'll get relief

relief, relief, relief, relief...

It's too much

Too bright

Too powerful

Too much

Too bright

Too powerful

Too much

Too bright

Too powerful

Too much

Nice list. I know what you mean about the order changing constantly.

[the_gloaming09]

question... the songs that you are listing... are they your list of top, or revealing a list of a poll of the boards results?

[Space Cadet]

Hmm... I used to have a list.... but I think at this point that it's waaay too much in flux to try to pin down.

[Ms Magpie]

:thumbsup: to all who have/had a list. I'll never be able to make one.

Come slowly

Come slowly to me

I've been waiting

Patient

Patiently

I didn't

But now I can see

 

That there's a way out

That there's a way out

That there's a way out

That there's a way out

[bedofroses]

I dont know its a lovely little song, it just hasent really grabbed me enough for me to call it a favourite out of all the songs they've done :)

[MrMagpie]

One song thats high on most people's list is A Reminder. For some reason I've never gotten into it.

for me it was this live version that got me (

)

this was the first song that i heard of their new stuff, and i dunno... i just fell in love w/ the song.

yeah, at first i didn't see what was the big thing. but i think that it was the part in the song with the line "Knock me out, smash out my brain" that grabbed me. just the melody for that part was what was good
