Like Spinning Plates Lyrics

While you make pretty speeches,
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions,
a delicate balance

And this just feels Like Spinning Plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river

Like Spinning Plates Song Chart

This has the melody of another, unreleased Radiohead song called "I Will" run in reverse.

Thom Yorke sang this backwards because he thought it sounded too uncomfortable the regular way. His tracks were then reversed and added on, resulting in the lyrics sung backward, then forward.

The album was recorded at the same time as Kid A, but released shortly after.

"Cloudcuckooland" is a reference to the ancient Greek comedy/satire The Birds by Aristophanes. It is a city built by birds to escape the frantic aspects of normal human civilization (in the case of the play, Athens).
