Took 4 guys to write that...... Kinda bullshit. I'm a fan of the band.... Never heard this. Must say, not a fan of the writing........ ESP, from 4 grown men. Just sayin'....
Beautiful song....and it reminds me a bit of Kansas's "Dust in the Wind"

I've never read Yorke's explanation of the song until now, and boy, does it change the meaning. I'm struggling to understand his explanation of complete hopelessness in the lyrics though. To me, the last line was always the "light at the end of the tunnel," the glimmer of hope in the song, the way to cope with life's ultimate injustices.
Regardless, an utterly incredible and haunting song, among Radiohead's finest (even if Yorke claims to have not written it).

This is such an eerie, yet catchy song - I personally prefer Radiohead's more technoish work (à la Kid A, OK Computer, In Rainbows) as opposed to the more traditional rock ballads of Pablo Honey and The Bends. Hail to the Thief sort of reconciles the two sounds.
this is like another version of comfortably numb/something else I don't place in my memory, and 7th grade as I had a crush on the boy across the street from me who blessed me with The Bends and Pablo Honey... The rest is a sweet symphony of twisted life, pain, s**t, and all the things that made me me. Thanx Joey:)

What can you say? Radiohead's fans include Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, etc. Plus, many music critics rated them tops of the 1st decade of this millineum. Don't burn out and break up, Radiohead!! I think you've yet to peak.
Ryan, just looked it up and I have to admit that Yorke does say some haunting things about that song. Most definitely takes on some weight after reading that.

Great song. Maybe the best radiohead ever made. Ps I'm learning it on guitar.
Listen to this song, and then listen to it again after hearing Thom Yorke's response to the question of its meaning (to find it, search for a Thom Yorke quote about Street Spirit concerning the devil)
It becomes a much different song once you know how it was written. Haunting, full of emotion, and incredible.
