Lyrics

Notes

Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me   Hold these things into position   All these things will want this world    And fade out again and fade out    This machine will, will not communicate   These thoughts and the strain I am under   Be a world child form a circle Before we all go under   And fade out again and fade out again    Cracked eggs, dead birds   Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes   Hold these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole    And fade out again and fade out again    Immerse your soul in love   Immerse your soul in love.

This song was written in 1993, around the same time as "My Iron Lung." "Creep" is Radiohead's American hit, this is the British equivalent. Laced with Ed's absolutely perfect arpeggios, the track has a mesmerizing quality that links it to the work of Stereolab. With lyrics about feeling like a very small person in an intimidating world, this fan favorite is memorable and timeless. [taken from greenplastic.com]
