![]() The Daily Mail & Staircase (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
The moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on the rapture
Singing we're here to keep your prices down
Feed you to the hounds
To the Daily Mail
Together
Together
You made a pig's ear, you made a mistake
Paid off security and got through the gate
You got away with it but we lie in wait
Where's the truth? What's the use?
I'm hanging around lost and found
And when you're here, innocent
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life
Keep trying, you're not right
You're fast to lose, you will lose
You jumped the queue, go back again
President for life, lord of all
The flies in the sky, the beasts of the earth
The fish in the sea, you've lost command

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 30, 2013 - 16:56 What pharmaceutical company supplies his meds? I don't mind his life-is-dark-and-puzzling existential philosophy, if that's the term--but can he and his cohorts be dynamic every so often? Must every song be a dirge? And mumbled so that I have to go to lyrics.com to decipher his concerns? |
| brianlj (Cambridge, UK) | Posted: Dec 08, 2012 - 02:28 No matter how much I agree with the sentiments, it's not in tune and it's not clever. |
| RoelantSiekman (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) | Posted: Oct 08, 2012 - 23:11 These kind of songs are one the main reasons I listen to this wonderful station.. :) Thanks Bill&Rebecca! |

| Phlegmaticman (270 miles south of Paradise, CA) | Posted: Jul 20, 2012 - 15:39 What flavor is Radiohead Kool-Aid? |

| hbs47 (SE England) | Posted: Jul 07, 2012 - 12:46 Same as Ella Awful, don't understand why anyone would like this. |
| jules44 (Sunny North Carolina) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 11:43 LOVE this song! you are killin' me today Bill! So many great songs in a row!!! |

| jim1964 (1379 miles to Wall Drug) | Posted: Jun 29, 2012 - 22:02 The intro to this song really reminded me of a Procol Harum song, maybe "Salty Dog" |

| xtalman (What dimension?) | Posted: May 09, 2012 - 08:09 Wow a Radiohead song I like. No whining involved. |
| mike_chouinard | Posted: Apr 16, 2012 - 14:44 I like this or Supercollider much better than anything I've actually hear of TKOL. |

| malvey254 | Posted: Apr 03, 2012 - 07:47 People with colorful fonts like to comment on this song. |

| Bacadiar | Posted: Mar 30, 2012 - 13:56 Another great song by a great band, Radiohead rocks out again! |
| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 13:29 Everybody in my head loves this song. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Mar 06, 2012 - 22:06 marvelous... love it... |
| LizK (Houston, Texas) | Posted: Mar 02, 2012 - 15:12 RH springs a new one on us. This band is just so much fun. |

| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Mar 02, 2012 - 15:08 Ella and Radiohead back to back People - if you ain't contributing to RP already - do it today. |

| zair99 (In Cognito) | Posted: Jan 29, 2012 - 21:57 Interesting! Very lo-fi, and very unusual for Radiohead in my experience! I think I like it. |

| salzburg4321 (Salzburg, Austria) | Posted: Jan 23, 2012 - 04:17 And to think I was starting to kind of like RH. Not after this song! |

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jan 03, 2012 - 10:56 I think Staircase is much better (and several other tracks on KOL), but as someone else said, I have only heard this a couple of times and like most Radiohead tunes, they tend to grow on me. |

| westlakesteve (Southern California) | Posted: Jan 03, 2012 - 10:29 Better than most of the songs on King Of Limbs. |
| Xing | Posted: Dec 29, 2011 - 03:36 Annoyingly whining but gets better a little bit after a while. |
| aelfheld | Posted: Dec 26, 2011 - 11:32 Liking it more as it goes on. |
| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Dec 26, 2011 - 11:32 This is utterly fantastic. The background horns complete the sound here. |
| CamLwalk (Albany NY) | Posted: Dec 22, 2011 - 10:23 Sorry....first listen. I never, ever like Radiohead songs on the first listen. |
| CamLwalk (Albany NY) | Posted: Dec 22, 2011 - 10:23 Quite a toe-tapper there! |
| skikel (hickory/nc) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 11:50 Great Addition to the RP library. Thanks Bill! |
| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 09:02 I'd like this more if there wasn't an annoying buzzing on some of the piano chords, especially at the beginning. This might be an artifact on the stream I'm hearing. |

| drewd | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 09:00 Kinda painful to listen to... IMO |
| kerouvian (London, UK) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 09:00 How much we missed that guitar! |
| finoufk (Bordeaux - france) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 08:59 Sounds good for this first listen... |
