Hail To The Thief

I think this entire album is amazing. This song does not let me down, the beat is interesting and catchy and Thom Yorke's melody complements it well. Whenever I hear any of their Kid A and on songs I picture their SNL performane of "Idioteque" I believe when the audience was in shock by what was happening and the band was all over the place. Most people knew "Creep" and "Karma Police" and this is no Karma Police/Creep.

The only thing I'm taking points off for is the end which drags a little and it's not as memorable as some of their other songs.

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell we've got nothing more to lose
One burst and we will probably crumble
We’re backdrifting
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on a breaker
Honey sweets so fall asleep
I'm backsliding

You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
Our tapes are bittering
But your footsteps give you a way
So you're backtracking

Uh uh uh, you fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our
You fell into a

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell we've got nothing more to lose
One burst and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters
