My Favourite Lyric On Every Radiohead Song
I’ve looked at some of my favourite lyrics from Bowie, LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads and Muse, so I think it’s time I pick some of my favourite lyrics from one of the most depressing yet thought-provoking bands of our time – Radiohead. They have a reputation for sombre and morose lyrics, but I think that’sContinue reading “My Favourite Lyric On Every Radiohead Song”
