Top 10 Best Song Lyrics from Radiohead's OK Computer

The Top Ten
1 "Yes, that's it, you're leaving; the crackle of pig skin! The dust and... the screaming... the yuppies networking! The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit; god loves his children" - Paranoid Android

This entire last third of the song is absolutely perfect. It's the reason why I'm convinced that Radiohead won't ever make a song greater than this

2 "Like a cat tied to a stick that's been driven into frozen winter s***, the ability to laugh at weakness" - Fitter, Happier

Also rather notably contains the only swear in the entire album

3 "Please can you stop that noise, I'm try'na get some rest...from all the un-born chicken voices in my head..." - Paranoid Android
4 "At a better pace, slower and more calculated; no chance of escape. Now self-employed; concerned, but powerless. An empowered and informed member of society; pragmatism, not idealism" - Fitter, Happier

GLaDOS needs to cover this song STAT

5 "Shell smashed, juices flowing; wings twitch, legs are going. Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel...one day, I am gonna grow wings; a chemical reaction, hysterical and useless" - Let Down

I never knew stepping on a dung beetle could so revoltingly touching

6 "Karma police, arrest this girl; her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill" - Karma Police

Actually a valid reason to arrest someone (in Germany, at least)

7 "Ambition makes you look pretty ugly... kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy!" - Paranoid Android

Basically what Youtube has become in a nutshell

8 "Up above, aliens hover, making home movies for the folks back home... of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets" - Subterranean Homesick Alien
9 "When I am king, you will be first against the wall... with your opinion which is of no consequence at all" - Paranoid Android
10 “GET ME OUT OF HERE” - No Surprises
The Contenders
11 "In an interstellar burst, I am back to save the universe" - Airbag
12 "The head of state has called for me by name, but I don't have time for him" - Lucky

Now THIS is how you set priorities, folks

13 "I may be paranoid, but not an android" - Paranoid Android
14 "Come on, rain...down...on me...from a great height...from a great height...height..." - Paranoid Android
15 “Hey man, slow down. Slow down. Idiot, slow down. Slow down.” - The Tourist
16 “People ask me where the Hell I’m GOING...at a thousand feet per SECOND” - The Tourist
17 “A heart that’s full up like a landfill; a job that slowly KILLS you; bruises that won’t heal...you look so tired, unhappy; break down the government...they don’t...they don’t speak for us” - No Surprises
18 "YOU don't remember! You don't remember! Why don't you remember my NAME?! OFF WITH HIS HEAD, MAN, off with his head, man; why don't you remember my name, I guess he DOES" - Paranoid Android

Over-reacting much?

19 "Transport, motorways and tramlines...starting and then stopping...taking off and landing...the emptiest of feelings...disappointed people, clinging onto bottles...when it comes it's so, so disappointing" - Let Down
