Knives Out
Found on: Amnesiac
Lyrics
Notes
I want you to know
He's not coming back.
He's bloated and frozen.
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste.

So knives out
Cook him up
don't look down
shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog.
They would have drowned you at birth.

So knives out
Catch the mouse
squash his head
put him in the pot

So knives out
Catch the mouse
don't look down
shove it in your mouth

I want you to know
he's not coming back
look into my eyes
it's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth

So knives out
catch the mouse
squash his head
put him in the pot


 "Knives Out" was premiered on the band's official web site on December 9, 1999. The band were having a web cast/party and as a present to the fans, they performed this previously unheard of song.

The song will most likely appear on Amnesiac.

Ed: "There's a new song, Knives Out, that's very conventional, but they're not all like that. It's less programmed, more band-originated material, a few more guitars, more acoustic instruments, more strings. Some songs will not sound like they do live."
