Does anyone know which record of Radiohead's has the song on it with lyrics like "what the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" etc. It's quite a haunting song, but I cannot find the record anywhere unless I am looking in the wrong place......
Your thoughts????

I THINK (if I remember correctly) you are referring to the song 'Creep' from thier 1993 debut album 'Pablo Honey'.

Lyrics to creep:
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Jim,
Do all of their records have that same "feel" to it as Pablo Honey? I think that song is very good, and I've decided that I need to get some of their stuff.
I was drawn to them because I like American Music Club too and they are vaguely similar if that makes sense. That kind of maudlin, haunting stuff....
What does you think?

Biran,
Pablo Honey all sounds very similar to creep. There's some slower songs and some rockier sounds, but theentire album is great.
It's one of my all time favorites. The newer albums have a much different feel than Pablo Honey. There still good, just very different.
Hope this helps.

Yeh. Its a cool song. Sing it at work a lot.
Radiohead are often on compilations too like the "Trip" series of CDs.
You'd prolly like NZ's Chris Knox too - poet of our times and a totally one man band. Try to find "Beat" and check out the lyrics. "Duck Shaped Pain" and "Gum"(both on same disc) is pretty good too. He's also done "Songs af you and me" and "Yes". There's a coupla short discs too - one's called "Seizure". Real Kiwi flavour there. Check him out. Not everyone's cuppa tea but it does grow on you.

For those who like the song and play a litle guitar, here are the chords, very simple song but a goodie. Sounds better played in bar chords rather than triads.
Creep
=====
By Radiohead
G
When you were here before
B
Couldn't look you in the eyes
C
You look like an angel
Cm
Your skin makes me cry
G
You float like a feather
B
In a beautiful weather
C
I wish I was special
Cm
You're so fucking special
Chorus:
G
But I'm a creep
B
I'm a wierdo
C
What the hell am I doin' here
Cm
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special....
(then something like this...)
oooh... she's running away....she's running...run..run...run..ruuuuun
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
Wish I was special...

I couldn't believe I saw Radiohead as a message subject!! I am a huge fan. All of their albums are great. In fact, I think Radiohead is easily the most creative and interesting band in rock today.
The song Creep is and always will be their biggest hit. In fact, if you asked them, I am sure they would say they regret ever writing it for the simple reason that fans always request it at shows. At this point, the song is 11years old and Radiohead certainly feels like they have outgrown it.
Their more recent stuff (Kid A and Amneisac) are a lot less accessible but no less brilliant. The album "The Bends" is a must have as is "OK Computer."They have a new album slated for a June release. If you would like to understand the band and life as a rock celebrity, you can rent their DVD " Meeting People is Easy".
