Hello (I Love You)
Have you heard
It was on the news
Your child can read you like a bedtime story
Like a Magazine
Like a has-been out to grass
Like afternoon T.V.
Why is my life going by so fast.
Hello I love you
Is there anybody in there?
Put down the phone
Shut up the shop
Make all their techno babble stop
We'll find a short-waved frequency
The wave connecting you and me
Hello I love you
Have you heard
It was on the news
The general staff can't figure out
Is this campaign win or lose
Life is long but it goes fast
The kids will have to separate
Their future from our past
Hello I love you
Is there anybody in there?
The ghosts are walking by my side
I feel their love I feel their pride
For I have built a bridge or two
Bridges between me and you
Hello I love you
Have you heard
It was on the news
You can make your peace
On the dark side of the moon
I'll see you there
We can rock 'n' roll
We can make our choice
We can say goodbye or say hello
Hello I love you
Is there anybody in there
Hello...

Radiohead - The King of Limbs lyrics
Bloom
Open your mouth wideThe universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It’s what keeps me alive
So why lose and start over
Don’t blow your mind with why
I’m moving out of orbit (Turning in somersaults)
Turning in somersaults
A giant turtle's eye
Jellyfish go by
Morning Mr. Magpie
You know you should
but you don’t
You know you should
but you don’t
You got some nerve
coming here
You got some nerve
coming here
Good morning Mr. Magpie
How are we today
Now you’ve stolen all my magic
and took my melody
Little By Little
Turn to nasty now
The dark cell
The pit of my soul
The last one out of the box
The one who broke this spell
Little by little by hook or by crook
I’m such a tease
And you’re such a flirt
Once you’ve been hurt
You’ve been around enough
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never get nervous
Never get judged
I’m no idiot
I should look
Your clue on hold, snapped up
Crawling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one that broke the seal
Obligation
Complication
Routines and schedules
Drug and kill you
Kill you
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never get nervous
Never get judged
I’m no idiot
I should look
Little by little by hook or by crook
I’m such a tease
And you’re such a flirt
Lotus Flower
I will shape myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want, do what you want
I will shake and I will disappear
I will slip into a groove and cut me out and cut me out
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I’ll set you free
I set you free
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I’ll set you free
I set you free
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stand
Just to see what is 2xs
I can’t kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart
We will sink and then be quiet as mice
While the cat is away do what we want
Do what we want
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I set you free
I set you free
'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stand
Just to see what is 2xs
Birds that float into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
'Cause I want is the moon upon a stand
A dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can’t kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart
Codex
Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Fantasize
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water’s clear
And innocent
The water’s clear
And innocent
Give Up the Ghost
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Gather up the lost and sold
In your arms
In your arms
Gather up the pitiful
In your arms
In your arms
What seems impossible
In your arms
In your arms
I think I have had my fill
In your arms
In your arms
I think I should give up the ghost
In your arms
In your arms
Separator
It’s like I’m falling out of a long, blue dream
The sweetest flower fruits hang from trees
Falling off the giant bird that’s been carrying me
It’s like I’m falling out of a long blue dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every word
Every gesture
I’m a heart in the ground
Like I’m falling out of a long blue dream
Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
As my woman blows her cover
In the eye of the beholder
I’m a fish now out of water
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me
I fell open
I lay under
At the tip out
That was just a number
I wanna tip it over
And get back under
And if you think this is over with
you’re wrong
If you think this is over with
you’re wrong
If you think this is over with
you’re wrong
(Wake me up, wake me up)
If you think this is over with
you’re wrong
(Wake me up, wake me up)
Like I’m falling out of bed from a long, blue dream
Finally free of the weight I’ve been carrying
When I ask you again 2xs
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up

Mine Smell Like Honey
I would dare you, but I know I don’t need to
You’re going to do just what you want to
You’re going to take the leavings there at the fairground
You’re going to sing the praises of your fruit
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like hu, hu, hu, hu, honey, uh!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
If the end comes faster than we had expected
And predictions lead us to a final fall
If the flowers crack the grain and leave the patterns of the pavement
I can hear you shouting over it all
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like hu, hu, hu, hu, honey, uh!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey
Walk It Back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
What, what would you
Have had me say
Instead of what I said
Where, where would I go
How could I follow that
Except to do what I did
Which is to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back
Time reversing me why
erasing me vice
try to start again
You, don't you turn this around
I have not touch the ground in
I don't know how long
You say to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Time, time, time it cannot abide
You, you can't turn away
You've asked me to stay
but something needs to change
Why can't you
Walk it back
Hmmm...Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm....Walk it back
Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter
I feel like an alligator
Coming up the escalator
Coming up the escalator
I feel strong
I feel like an aviator pilot
Bet you wouldn't buy it
I'm feeling violent
Bet your bleeding eye it,
Turn up to fly it
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got a, have got a lot to learn
I feel like an autopilot
I'm the road's strongest siren
I feel like a rage coming under my hood
I feel good and calm like a robot would
I feel like an autopilot
I feel like an autopilot
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got a, have got a lot to learn
I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know which way to turn
I've got a lot to burn
I've got a lot, a lot to burn
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
I could knock you sideways, I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find
I am not an agitator
But I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator...
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn
I've got so much to learn
You got a lot to learn...
That Someone Is You
With the restraint of New Order covers and marble giants
I sat quietly waiting
For someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move...
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
And with the fury lock of Sharon Stone Casino
Scarface, Al Pacino
'74 Torino
I need someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
You pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I
We live and dream about the future
Please ask me up I need to count well now
Sit through the annals of our favorite times
Our heroes and all their fade out thoughts
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I say
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
Or take me deep again
We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely and I said
I'm not sure where to place myself here friend
I might wanna go on wings instead
The winners write the rule books
The histories are never right
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep (down down down)
Or take me deep again (down down down)
I heard what you said (down down down)
I picture brass rings in your head
What golden [Brahms] in my mind
Our brass is mixed with red
Alternate lyrics:
We live and dream about the future.
Please ask Neil, I need to pow-wow now.
So through the annals of our flavored times
Our heroes and all their fatal flaws.
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I, sing...
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
And take me deep again
We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely and I said
"I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend.
I might pawn the gold rings instead."
The winners write the rulebooks, the histories and lullabies
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
(down, down, down)
Take me deep again
(down, down, down)
I heard what you said
(take me down, down, down)
I picture brass rings in your hair
(down, down, down)
While gold and bronze and bonbons
(down, down, down)
While brasses mixed with lead
Blue
you know the circus left
the stakes are broken amongst useless mud
the ties that bind, ha-ha,
I can be bad poet
Street poet
Shit poet
Kind poet too
subway, almost 4 am Halloween night
I'd had enough to drink to make my own party
all my fellow riders lay in half costume, half asleep,
half silly, gone to seed
I don't mark my time with dates, holidays, faded wisdom [ ]
whatever's convenient
I am made by my times
I am the creation of Now
shaken with the cracks, and crevasses
I'm not getting up easy
I will not fold
I don't have much, but what I have is gold
(Patti) I saw your face
in lifting snow
I sing in platinum
I dress in brass
I eat in zinc
let it pass
Can play a toast
I like that
I understand courage
I still roll with the shadow of a cab driver's attitude [ ]
I try to see outside myself
I understand the eyes
Excuse all highs
Sorry, I am sorry, ha-ha
(Patti) white afternoon
I like you, love you, every coast of you
I see your eddies and tides and hurricanes and cyclones
low ebb tide and a high full moon
up close, and distant
I reach you in the sky, the sea, the ocean, the sun, the moon,
Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue, naked in blue
(Patti) naked in blue
breathing with you, touch, change, shift
allow air
window open, drift, drift away into Now
I want Whitman proud, Patti Lee proud,
my brothers proud, my sisters proud
I want me, I want it all, I want sensational, irresistible
This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive
living, blessed, I understand
20th century collapse into now
(Patti) Cinderella boy
You lost your shoe
Cinderella boy
Your coach awaits
My solid shadow (Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue)
a lover's embrace
as you fade
make it heaven
into you

If the flowers crack the grain and leave the patterns of the pavement
I can hear you shouting over it all
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like hu, hu, hu, hu, honey, uh!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey through it all
You track a trail of honey
Walk It Back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
What, what would you
Have had me say
Instead of what I said
Where, where would I go
How could I follow that
Except to do what I did
Which is to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back
Time reversing me why
erasing me vice
try to start again
You, don't you turn this around
I have not touch the ground in
I don't know how long
You say to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Time, time, time it cannot abide
You, you can't turn away
You've asked me to stay
but something needs to change
Why can't you
Walk it back
Hmmm...Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm....Walk it back
Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter
I feel like an alligator
Coming up the escalator
Coming up the escalator
I feel strong
I feel like an aviator pilot
Bet you wouldn't buy it
I'm feeling violent
Bet your bleeding eye it,
Turn up to fly it
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got a, have got a lot to learn
I feel like an autopilot
I'm the road's strongest siren
I feel like a rage coming under my hood
I feel good and calm like a robot would
I feel like an autopilot
I feel like an autopilot
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got a, have got a lot to learn
I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know which way to turn
I've got a lot to burn
I've got a lot, a lot to burn
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
I could knock you sideways, I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find
I am not an agitator
But I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator...
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn
I've got so much to learn
You got a lot to learn...
That Someone Is You
With the restraint of New Order covers and marble giants
I sat quietly waiting
For someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move...
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
And with the fury lock of Sharon Stone Casino
Scarface, Al Pacino
'74 Torino
I need someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
You pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I
We live and dream about the future
Please ask me up I need to count well now
Sit through the annals of our favorite times
Our heroes and all their fade out thoughts
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I say
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
Or take me deep again
We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely and I said
I'm not sure where to place myself here friend
I might wanna go on wings instead
The winners write the rule books
The histories are never right
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep (down down down)
Or take me deep again (down down down)
I heard what you said (down down down)
I picture brass rings in your head
What golden [Brahms] in my mind
Our brass is mixed with red
Alternate lyrics:
We live and dream about the future.
Please ask Neil, I need to pow-wow now.
So through the annals of our flavored times
Our heroes and all their fatal flaws.
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I, sing...
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
And take me deep again
We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely and I said
"I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend.
I might pawn the gold rings instead."
The winners write the rulebooks, the histories and lullabies
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
(down, down, down)
Take me deep again
(down, down, down)
I heard what you said
(take me down, down, down)
I picture brass rings in your hair
(down, down, down)
While gold and bronze and bonbons
(down, down, down)
While brasses mixed with lead
Blue
you know the circus left
the stakes are broken amongst useless mud
the ties that bind, ha-ha,
I can be bad poet
Street poet
Shit poet
Kind poet too
subway, almost 4 am Halloween night
I'd had enough to drink to make my own party
all my fellow riders lay in half costume, half asleep,
half silly, gone to seed
I don't mark my time with dates, holidays, faded wisdom [ ]
whatever's convenient
I am made by my times
I am the creation of Now
shaken with the cracks, and crevasses
I'm not getting up easy
I will not fold
I don't have much, but what I have is gold
(Patti) I saw your face
in lifting snow
I sing in platinum
I dress in brass
I eat in zinc
let it pass
Can play a toast
I like that
I understand courage
I still roll with the shadow of a cab driver's attitude [ ]
I try to see outside myself
I understand the eyes
Excuse all highs
Sorry, I am sorry, ha-ha
(Patti) white afternoon
I like you, love you, every coast of you
I see your eddies and tides and hurricanes and cyclones
low ebb tide and a high full moon
up close, and distant
I reach you in the sky, the sea, the ocean, the sun, the moon,
Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue, naked in blue
(Patti) naked in blue
breathing with you, touch, change, shift
allow air
window open, drift, drift away into Now
I want Whitman proud, Patti Lee proud,
my brothers proud, my sisters proud
I want me, I want it all, I want sensational, irresistible
This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive
living, blessed, I understand
20th century collapse into now
(Patti) Cinderella boy
You lost your shoe
Cinderella boy
Your coach awaits
My solid shadow (Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue)
a lover's embrace
as you fade
make it heaven
into you

Lyrics were found first transcribed here, Thanks. With some necessary changes and the addition of "Blue" and "Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brandon and I". Block parenthesis are as good as a guess, or somthin's missin'.
Maybe I'll get time to freak out properly about it all a little later. ; )
