Let's slide into the 90s Radiohead sound for a few minutes.

The band refused to release this song on OK Computer b/c they thought it would send them down the "Creep" road of jukebox dittys. If you ask me this has to be one of their best songs. Thank goodness Thom decided to release it on the OK Computer deluxe edition this year.

Verse 1]
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 ever again

[Chorus]
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home

[Verse 2]
This is the place
Remember me? I’m the face you always see
You’ve been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the ocean

[Chorus]
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Ah, let it go

[Outro]
Today is the first day
Of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt
