MY IRON LUNG
faith, you're driving me away ~ you do it everyday ~ you don't mean it
but it hurts like hell ~ my brain says I'm receiving pain ~ a lack of
oxygen ~ from my life support ~ my iron lung ~ we're too young to fall
asleep ~ too cynical to speak ~ we are losing it can't you tell? ~ we
scratch our eternal itch ~ our twentieth century bitch ~ and we are
grateful for our iron lung ~ THE HEADSHRINKERS ~ THEY WANT EVERYTHING ~
MY UNCLE BILL ~ MY BELISHA BEACON ~ suck, suck your teenage thumb ~
toilet trained and dumb ~ when the power runs out we'll just humm ~
this ~ this is our new song ~ just like the last one ~ a total waste of
time ~ my iron lung ~ THE HEADSHRINKERS ~ THEY WANT EVERYTHING ~ MY
UNCLE BILL ~ MY BELISHA BEACON ~ and if you're frightened ~ you could
be frightened ~ you can be ~ that's ok ~ and if you're frightened ~ you
could be frightened ~ you can be ~ that's ok ~

- Written the day Radiohead was forced to pull out of the Reading
Festival in 1993 due to problems Thom was having with his vocal chords,
this song comes off very bitter. But as it progresses, "My Iron Lung"
seems to drive out Thom's anger about how the band's music was largely
ignored -- aside from "Creep". Thom has admitted in interviews that he
is very proud of this song's lyrics; he felt he had perfectly captured
the essence of what he was writing about. A few live versions have been
released, and all are as intense as the original, though the tempo of
some versions is quicker than the one on The Bends. [Radiohead: From a
Great Height]
