INDIA RUBBER
India rubber
Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think I'll go plug in the mains
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself
Into your hands
When you spare a make-up smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How I was to know that
You practised it beforehand?
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself
Into your hands

BOBBY BROWN GOES DOWN
Hey there, people, Im bobby brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
Im dressin sharp n im
Actin cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work n maybe later Ill rape her
Oh God I am the american dream
I do not think Im too extreme
An Im a handsome sonofabitch
Im gonna get a good job n be real rich
(get a good
Get a good
Get a good
Get a good job)
Womens liberation
Came creepin across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess its still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An Im a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i dont know which
(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)
So I went out n bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but Im still kinda cute
Got a job doin radio promo
An none of the jocks can even tell Im a homo
Eventually me n a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An Ill do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, Im so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, Im a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down, etc.

YOU NEVER WASH UP AFTER YOURSELF
I must get out once in a while
Everything's starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
The spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plates
You never wash up after yourself

"Marillion" is British rock bend,who plays mostly art and neo-progressive rock .I think it is interesting to listen their version of Radiohead's "Fake plastic trees".
თანამედროვე ახალგაზრდობა ნაკლებად უყურებს სერიოზულ ფილმებს,ამიტომ ალბათ ბევრს არ ეცოდინება ეს კომპოზიცია.მთავარი თემა სტენლი კუბრიკის ”მექანიკური ფორთოხლიდან”.
Teenagers dont watch serious and intelectual movies nowadays,so probably they wont know the composition above.Main theme from Stanley Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange".
WHAT DOES "NO SURPRISES" MEAN?!
"No Surprises" is the third single from Radiohead's 1997 album OK Computer. The song peaked at number 4 in the UK and is perhaps the most instantly melodic Radiohead track, thanks to its soft glockenspiel riff. The sparkly backing contrasts with sad and resigned lyrics, which contributes to the emotion of the track.
Thom Yorke introduced the song to his bandmates and the members of R.E.M. on the R.E.M. Monster Tour. They were all gathered on 3 August 1995, in a dressing room in Oslo, Norway. The lyrics originally told the story of a man who has become fed up with the way things are working out for him and is having problems with his girlfriend. Two lines from this version are, "He was sick of her excuses / To not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom." Preparing to record the song, Thom Yorke altered the lyrics, but the meaning remains essentially the same. Musically and lyrically more direct than most of Radiohead's work, this track was also seen to fit smoothly into an album as complex as OK Computer.
Jonny Greenwood has commented on the recording of the song, saying "No Surprises was used to try our new equipment out. We thought it wasn't good to save that recording. It still sounds a bit "careful" and that suits the song."
The song is prominently featured in the soundtrack of the 2000 film L'Auberge espagnole
VIDEO
The single featured a simple video which consists entirely of a close-up shot of Thom Yorke's head inside a plastic bubble which slowly fills up with water until he is completely submerged. He spends 57 seconds completely submerged with his breath held before the water is released and he resumes singing. However the documentary Meeting People Is Easy shows that the playback was sped up at this point during the filming and so Yorke was actually under water for less time. Additionaly, reflected on the bubble the lyrics scroll up and lights blink on and off. Both the video and the documentary were directed by Grant Gee.
IT'S INTERESTING
Thom Yorke originally wanted "No Surprises" as the closing track of OK Computer. Eventually the band reached a compromise, closing the album with "Lucky" (a song that had been released two years earlier for a War Child charity benefit album) and "The Tourist" (a song written very late in the recording period by guitarist Jonny Greenwood). In the handwritten track listing on the album's back cover artwork, a large space can be seen separating "No Surprises" from the two closing songs, apparently due to the last minute change.
In the 2000s, live performances of "No Surprises", especially in the United States, have taken on an added significance not originally foreseen by the band. Though not directly a political protest song, "No Surprises" contains the lines "bring down the government / they don't, they don't speak for us." At many US Radiohead concerts, particularly since 2003, these lines have been met with cheers from the crowd and inspired the American audience to sing along, apparently in an expression of dissent from the government of George W. Bush (though in a few states the lines have also received boos). R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe has commented on this phenomenon as inspiring a personal epiphany for him when he attended Radiohead's 2003 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. In an interview on ITV, he even described it as "the most overwhelming moment" in his life.
WHAT IS THIS SONG FOR ME?
Oh it's really impossible to describe what I feel when I listen to or play "No Surprises". So I just advice: get it as soon as possible and recognize what can the "big" people create!
LYRICS
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired and 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
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silentThis 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, 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)
