Something for the rag and bone man
"Over my dead body"
Something big is gonna happen
"Over my dead body"
Someone's son or someone's daughter
"Over my dead body"
This is how I end up getting sucked in
"Over my dead body"
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me
We don't wanna wake monster taking over
"Tiptoe round, tie him down"
We don't want the loonies taking over
"Tiptoe round, tie them down"
May pretty horses
Come to you as you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me
| VH1 (Germany) | Posted: May 17, 2013 - 03:53  There is not a single day, when Radiohead ist NOT playing at least 5 times a day, same goes for Led Zeppelin, Natalie Merchant and Calexico! I simply CANT hear it anymore!  |

You so rarely get them on city streets these days. What always fascinated me about them as a kid was the strangled cries they made - it's amazing the noises that you can derive from the original phrase "RAG AND BONE!". A bit like newspaper sellers in kiosks. Ahh, for us in the USA it sounds like a Fred Sanford then...   |

I've heard or read that comparison before. I don't personally hear very much similarity - especially in the lyrics - but that comparison was probably made by a critic from Rolling Stone or NME, and is just brought up over and over. Listen to Everything I Own, then Fake Plastic Trees. I think it really applies to those two songs. Both great songs. These are very similar, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's an homage, but pretty close. I say that in a good way. |

Radiohead is to Bread as Monet is to a 4-year old with a great set of crayons (or whoever did the album art) |

Bread was a pretty fair soft rock band with a few hits back in the 70's like "Baby i'm A Want You," "Everything I Own" and "Let Your Love Go" but I don't quite get the Radiohead comparison.  |
| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Nov 15, 2011 - 13:26 Grey Eye Glances "Close Your Eyes" f/b Radiohead "Go To Sleep." Cute. |
