Funny Lyrics:

Why They're Funny: Gee, i'm tough... I'll have a GUN! And.. sandwiches... in case we get hungry on our murder spree... of course!

| "Wolf At The Door"
The Funny Lyrics: flip the lid out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head knifes you in the neck kicks you in the teeth steel toe caps takes all your credit cards get up get the guns get the eggs get the flan in the face Why They're Funny: theyre kinda funny when you first see them, but once you understand them they all fit and actually make sense; e.g. he is talking about all the challenges of being a parent in a partly metaphorical way, and 'flan in the face' is a political reference - look it up

Repetitive Lyrics:
"2+2=5 (The Lukewarm)"
The Repetitive Lyrics: You've not been paying attention...Paying attention...paying attention (x4)
(Paying attention (x 15)) and also And But I'm not (x4) Why They're Repetitive: Because they repeat... (erm...15 times)
But only in a rather odd and satirical slant at the fears of this revision and practice based learning in the world that preaches 2+2=4 etc. Probably it's the best song for someone deliberately looking for a migrane. Submitted by: Kevin Breslin
| "Karma Police"
The Repetitive Lyrics: This is what you get
This is what you get This is what you get when you mess with us For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myseeeeelf (Repeat a million times) Why They're Repetitive: I absolutley adore Thom Yorke's writing style and his lyrics, and I have no objections with the repititive nature of most of Radiohead's songs. They just qualify as very repititive. I love them, though, they're awesome.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"A Wolf At The Door"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Don't you dare
Don't you dare Don't you flan in the face Why They're Nonsensical: This line makes me laugh every time, even though it's a serious song... Flan is a dessert, a fruit filled cake... does this make sense to anyone else?
Submitted by: Serata
| "Pop Is Dead"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: So many facelifts, his face flew off
Why They're Nonsensical: How could one's face fly off from too many facelifts? Facelifts make the face tighter, not looser!

Misrhymed Lyrics:
"A Wolf At The Door"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: He'll steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom
And I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops Why They're Misrhymed: Lol the first time I heard that line, I laughed forever. I understand that everything doesn't have to rhyme, but that was a nice surprise. ' Pay the ransom' 'Squeal to the cops'...classic!

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Let Down"
The Lyrics: The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles, And when it comes it's so, so, disappointing. Let down and hanging around, Crushed like a bug in the ground. Let down and hanging around. [...] One day, I'm gonna grow wings, A chemical reaction, Hysterical and useless Hysterical and Let down and hanging around, Crushed like a bug in the ground. Let down and hanging around. Why: The musical arrangement is ethereal and upbeat, but close analysis reveals the lyrics are a horrible bummer. Same case with "No Surprises".
