this was the first track (other than the infamous creep, of course) that made me notice radiohead as a young 13 year old girl. to this day at 27, it’s one of my favourite songs of all time & i will never get sick of it. no surprises reminds me of a haunting lullaby, one that doesn’t shy away from the darkness and the cruelty of the world, yet it is so achingly tender and beautiful. it’s always the oxymoronic songs that get me, and this is by far one of the best. honestly, if i could choose any song that represents what goes on in my mind & soul everyday, this would be one of them. radiohead have always been a bunch of god damn geniuses, haven’t they? “A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide And no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent This is my final fit My final bellyache with No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please Such a pretty house And such a pretty garden No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) No alarms and no surprises, please (let me out of here)”
