Lyrics:  Collaborations:  Be Mine (REM Featuring Thom Yorke)

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree

I'll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed
I'll ply the tar of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if I choose your sanctuary
I'll want to wash you with my hair
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find elixirs hidden there

I'll eat the lotus and peyote
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing
I'll want the secrets of the temple
I'll want the finger with the ring
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if you made me your religion
I'll give all the room you need
I'll be the drawing of your breath
I'll be cup if you should bleed
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea
I'll be the lights that guide you inland
I'll be the visions you will see
Visions you will see
You will see
You will see
You and me
You and me
You and me

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  Beautiful Feeling (PJ Harvey And Thom Yorke)

Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel life meet my eyes

And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
It's the best thing
A beautiful feeling

A smile from San Diego
He is still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from Mexico

And he's the best thing
He's the best thing
He's the best thing
A beautiful feeling

And when I watch you move
And I can't think straight
And I am silenced
And I can't think straight

And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  E-Bow The Letter (REM Featuring Thom Yorke)

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near

I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again
(repeat 2)

(repeat 1)
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
(rpt 2, 2...)

Pulls us near
Tastes like fear..

Nearer, nearer
over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there..
There, there, baby, yeah

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  El President (Drugstore Featuring Thom Yorke)

Came from the skies
burst through the gates
with no mercy or disguise
with their hearts set out in flames
I know I've seen the master plan

I'm just a man (I am just a man)
I'm not giving in
all the people understand
cause they all fell down and prayed
I know I've seen the master plan
they killed the president....

Came from the skies
in all shades of green
we can always justify
we can measure up your dreams
I know I've seen the master plan
they killed the president
they killed the president...

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  I've Seen It All (Thom Yorke And Bjork)

I have seen it all
I have seen the willow trees
I have seen my land
On the first day of peace
I have seen a friend
By a friend
And lives that were over
Before they were spent
I have seen it what I was
And I know what I'll be
I have seen it all
there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants,
kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say
I had better to do
What about China?
You've seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great,
if the roof doesn't fall
And the man you will marry
The home you will share
Oh no really
I really don't care

I fell towers
Empire State
My pulse was as high
As my very first date

My grandson's hands
As he plays with my hair
Oh no really really
I really don't care

??????????

I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness
in one little spark
I have seen what I chose
and I have seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I've seen what I was
and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
there is no more to see

I've seen it all
and all you have seen
is there to review
on your own little screen
The light and the dark
the big and the small
Just keep in mind
you need no more at all
You've seen what you were
and know what you'll be
You've seen it all
there is no more to see

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  One Line (PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke)

Do you remember the first kiss?
Star shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind

I'm watching from the wall
As, in the streets, we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe

All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
One line to keep us safe

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
And pray to keep us safe

Watch the stars now moving
'Cross the sky
Keep this feeling
Safe tonight
 

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  Rabbit In Your Headlights (UNKLE Featuring Thom Yorke)

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Scared of the spotlight
You don't come to visit
I'm stuck on this bed

Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when she's crying
She cries when she's laughing

Fat bloody fingers
Are sucking your soul away

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toilet
Money to burn

Fat bloody fingers
Are sucking your soul away

[If you're frightened of dying and then you're holding on
You'll see devils tearing your life away
But, if you've made your peace
Then the devils will be angels
Freeing you from the Earth... from the Earth]

White worms on the underground
Caught between stations
Butter fingers
I'm losing my patience

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
You got money to burn

Fat bloody fingers
Are sucking your soul away...

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  The Mess We're In (PJ Harvey Featuring Thom Yorke)

( Thom Yorke )
Can you hear them
The helicopters
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's wednesday
The evening
This mess we're in
And ooooh...

( PJ Harvey )
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

( Thom Yorke )
Night and day
I dream of
Making love
To you now baby
Love making
On screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway
Reminding of
This mess we're in
And ooooh...

( PJ Harvey )
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

( PJ Harvey )
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

( PJ talking / Thom singing...together )
What were you wanting / What was he wanted
I just wanna say
Don't ever change now baby
I'd thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises
Above the skycrapers
And the city landscape comes into view
Swell on my skin
Oh
This mess we're in
Ooooh...

( PJ Harvey )
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

Lyrics:  Collaborations:  Untogether  (Belly's)

I was friendly with this girl who insisted on touching my face
She told out-rageous stories, I believed them
til the endings were changing from endings before
She's not touching me anymore...
Untogether. I couldn't help him, I got hard.
You can try your whole life, but you can't save the unsaveably
Untogether.
I was shipwrecked with this frog who was constantly testing my faith.
He made outrageous demands, I ignored him,
til I strapped on my bird feet and surfed into shore
He's not touching me anymore.
Untogether, I couldn't help him, I got hard.
You can try your whole life,
but you can't change the unchangeably
Untogether.
Now this bird nests on my back, keeps me turning and straining to see.
We threw out-rageous parties, we were golden.
Now the bird keeps her distance, and I keep my spleen.
Sometimes there's no poison like a dream.
Untogether, I couldn't help it, it got hard.
You can dry your eyes,
but you can't hold the impossibly
Untogether.
