Planet Telex Lyrics


You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home

Saying, everything is broken
Everyone is broken

You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss you can break all the rules

But still, everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken

Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget

Planet Telex Song Chart
  • Lead singer Thom Yorke was drunk and improvising when he recorded the vocals. The band came to the studio after drinking a lot of wine, and Yorke lied on the floor and sang. He did only one take.
  • The original title was "Planet Xerox," but Xerox is a copyrighted name and would have caused problems if they used it.
  • The album title refers to a condition divers get when they come to the surface too fast. It is a commentary on Radiohead's sudden fame.
  • The drums in this song were cut up from different parts of other songs from the sessions for the album. (thanks, Charlie - Stittstown, Canada)
  • Yorke: "The product of a single sex education, romantic novels and art college." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
