THE STORY OF KID A
(key lyrics from the album)

Kid A, Kid A
Everything in its right place
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
There are two colours in my head
What was it that you tried to say?
I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Everyone around here is so near
It's holding on, It's holding on
Everyone has got the fear

That there, That's not me
This isn't happening
I'm not here

………….

Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

I'd really like to help you, man
And now this messed up millionaire
Floating around on a prison ship

Dinosaurs roaming the Earth

Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can't read
Another message I can't read
You're living in a fantasy world
I'm lost at sea,
Don't bother me
I've lost my way

Who's in a bunker?
Women and children first
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow till I burst
I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
Here I'm alllowed
Everything all of the time
Ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Throw it on the fire
We're not scaremongering
This is really happening
Take the money run

The first of the children

The morning bell
Light another candle and Release me
Running around around around...
Cut the kids in half
The lights are on but nobody's at home
Everyone wants to be a friend
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking walking walking...

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back where I belong
I think you're crazy, maybe
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I will see you in the next life
