Lyrics

Notes

You can force it but it will not come   You can taste it but it will not form You can crush it but it's always here You can crush it but it's always near Chasing you home saying   Everything is broken   Everyone is broken    You can force it but it will stay stung   You can crush it as dry as a bone   You can walk it home straight from school You can kiss it, you can break all the rules But still Everything is broken   Everyone is, everyone is broken   Everyone is, everything is broken    Why can't you forget? Why can't you forget?   Why can't you forget?

"Planet Xerox" was this song's original title, but because Xerox was a copyrighted name, Radiohead changed it to "Planet Telex." The only song written in the studio during the Bends sessions, it was recorded one night when the band returned to the studio after drinking a lot of wine. Thom did the vocals lying down, completely drunk. This is the most frequent remixed song in Radiohead's roster. [taken from greenplastic.com]
