My Iron Lung
Faith
you're driving me away
you do it every day
you don't mean it but
it hurts like hell

My brain
says I'm receiving pain
a lack of oxygen
from my life support
my iron lung

we're
too young to fall asleep
too cynical to speak
we are losing it
can't you tell

we scratch
our eternal itch
our twentieth century bitch
and we are greatful for our iron lung

suck
suck your teenage thumb
toilet trained and dumb
when the power runs out
we'll just hum

this
this is our new song
just like the last one
a total w.a.s.t.e. of time
my iron lung
Song Info:
Written the day Radiohead was forced to pull out of the Reading Festival in 1993 due to problems Thom was having with his vocal chords, this song comes off very bitter. But as it progresses, "My Iron Lung" seems to drive out Thom's angers about how the band's music was largely ignored - aside from "Creep." Thom has admitted in interviews that he is very proud of this song's lyrics; he felt he had perfectly captured the essence of what he was writing about.
