One of Radiohead’s defining early songs, it marked a decisive movement away from the guitar-driven angst of Pablo Honey towards the more atmospheric, emotionally complex song-writing that would establish them as one of the most important British bands of the period. With accompanying statement of provenance detailing how the lyrics were obtained by a fan following the band’s appearance in Cambridge in November 1995.
