Planet Telex

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 it, you can break all the rules
all of 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

We used up some leftovers to create the drum loop--we cut up and re-arranged the outro section from the first version of "Killer Cars".

Steve Osbourne remix is great.

--Phil Selway (ansaphone)

A drunken evening that spawned probably my favourite track. Thom's one-take vocal crouching in the corner was particularly memorable, he may have been unable to stand. Love Colin's bass groove thang on this.

--Ed O'Brien (ansaphone)

This was the only song written in the studio--I remember helping Thom write the verse, but not having the stamina to stay for the debauched recording session.

--Jonny Greenwood (ansaphone)

err... whooshy? Sitting in T.V. room at RAK studio whilst Thom, Ed and Leckie were working on it, thinking, 'what is this old bollocks?'... then putting bass on, thinking... 'Oh yess, oooh yess, I like it!'

--Colin Greenwood (ansaphone)

The product of a single sex education, romantic novels and art college. [And sensi?]
