The new Radiohead is not the smack in the face “In Rainbows” or “Kid A” turned out to be. It’s not a stadium-filler like “OK Computer”, either. What is it then? I dunno. A soundtrack for a fast ballooning head? Static fom the empty space inside your heart? I’m just guessing here.

Radiohead – The King of Limbs by ThePEAK

After the jump: Thom Yorke gets his Usher on in the video for ‘Lotus Flower’.

LOTUS FLOWER

There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now i’ll set you free
I’ll set you free
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now i’ll set you free
I’ll set you free

Slowly we unfold
Ss lotus flowers
‘Cuz all I want is the moon upon a stick
Sust to see what if
Sust to see what it is
I can’t kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away and do what we want
Do what we want

There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now I set you free
I set you free

Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what it is
Take the lotus flowers into my room
Slowly we unfold
As lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can’t kick the habit
Just to feed my fast ballooning head

And the obvious favourite:

“Codex”

Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around

Just dragonflies
Fantasize
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong

Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water’s clear and innocent
The water’s clear and innocent
