Radiohead - The Daily Mail Lyrics

How in the world did this song come out before Trump became President?

the piano in the beginning just does me in

Check out Live from the Basement version here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkpybVmJFKw

This and Staircase are so fucking good, I love the build up in this. So underrated!

I can picture Tori Amos covering this. I think she would rock this one

But lie in wait

<3 to the daily mail

The shape of his voice sheers in this one.

This song begins just like "La leva calcistica della clase ´68" by Francesco De Gregori (1982)

But, sorry Thom, is not as good as it! ;)

as a korean, its funny how he mentions "moonies"

Man...this gives me shivers

gREECE IS wAITING!!!

Radiohead is an amazing shit

2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (Vice) <—> (Truth) >—< (Vice) • (“Monaco!!”) 👀🔥🔥🇲🇨🇲🇨👈👍💯 • “human rights” 👀🔥🔥🇲🇨🇵🇱🇲🇨👈👍💯💯💯

2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity.”) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”

“issuable”

The lunatics have taken over the asylum....

Marvel's legion brought me here

Great song up until 1:30 then it just sounds like garbage piled on top of a great song..

fuck off

thats the best part

1:01 when you are on a roller coaster

It's "The moon is a rock on a mountain"

Tom has grew up a lot as a singer. A caotic and warm voice at the same time. Please go find Peter Hammill too. A lot of people doesn't know Vandergraaf Generator.

If, while listening to this, you imagine Paul McCartney singing, you immediately have a late-era Beatles or early Wings

LEGION EPISODE 5 <3

I wanna play Radiohead at my funeral

Listen to the Amnesiac 'b-sides' even if you don't react. 'Kinetic' and 'The Amazing Sounds of Orgy' in particular.

Together <3

Always over too soon

This song went too hard for TKOL

So...it's odd. [Extended aside about modern RH sabotaging itself follows]. While I've yet to be actively DISpleased by RH, if I'm really being honest with myself...I haven't really been immersed, in the truest sense, in any of the albums since "Rainbows"--maybe even "HTTT", actually, since "IR" was more akin to "You know, there are some really, really great songs here" where all prior had been more akin to a feeling, something like: "these songs have been woven into the fabric of my life, I wake up suddenly with them on the tip of my tongue, and wonder how it's possible for a group of people to take those things in the back of my mind, that I've never even been able to put into words, and put them to tape as music." But, every now and again, I stumble across a song like this...and it's as if a band that's been operating at something like slightly above half power, suddenly turned it all the way back up again and let go. From those very first notes, you're being pulled somewhere, led, and you might not know where the hell that is, but the song sure does. Maybe that's the best way I can explain what sets things like this apart (to me) from so much of "KOL" and "MSP": The song sounds SURE of itself, fully-formed, and deliberate in how it unfolds to the point that it almost toys with the listener. Apart from that, the other major difference is arrangement: they let the parts serve the song, naturally, rather than having a sonic agenda in terms of what's 'on the table', musically. Of course, that philosophy served them well on "Kid A"--devoting themselves with an almost religious zeal to discarding any-and-everything overly familiar helped them to both shake the 'follow-up blues', as well as to find new strengths in the band. But now, almost 2 decades later? Inevitably, what was once the path to freedom became its own solipsistic straight-jacket, and suddenly we went from knowing what sounds you weren't likely to hear on a new Radiohead album, to more or less knowing exactly which sounds you WERE going to hear). As well, good ideas are abandoned and mundane ones pursued, all in relation to their fitting the blueprint [my personal fav is the discomfort with the dynamic original "Videotape" leading to the safely-'inacessible' version w/ nothing but piano, conversational mid-range vocal, and choppy computer drums]. Yorke's vocals, for example: this song is one of, if not THE only, song from the period where they're allowed their range; haunting and delicate at first with the controlled slide of Thom's falsetto, by the closing movement suddenly they've suddenly swerved into an outright fevered snarl, and they tug the band along with them. The fact that all the vocal sections are threaded through with prominent, recognizable melody (as opposed to the tonally minimalist, dynamically restrained and/or processed vocal delivery that quickly become a band go-to, and to me one of their biggest 'shoot self in foot' moments) actually strengthens the song's off-kilter mood, rather than dampening it. It pulls you in at the start and then drags you through the changes, and so the rest of the band can cut itself loose and shoot off in any direction without being indulgent, or jarring, because there's a foundation there. And the guitars, yes, rock guitars, swell in at just the right moment, adding splashes of a different color to an already crowded canvas, the clang of distortion finally calling up the sinisterness promised by the song from is first few chords, but that it could not have reached without. I actually could say a lot more, but I realize now my comment is already insanely long, and unlikely to be read as is lol, so I'll just close with the 2 things this song is a perfect demonstration of, in action: A. Dynamic arrangements and strikingly original music aren't mutually exclusive, and that B. Radiohead can use them (and loud guitars) without repeating "Ok Computer". I think they need to be reminded.

I hope someone to use this song for a really good movie! like ozark`s Decks Dark and then It would be a really good experience to see it.

When the brexit vote came out, this was the song (and still is) that made sense of British politics.

The second half of this song sounds very much like “Everything in its right place”

A little wonder

believe it or not this is a live recording btw

I love you guys !!! <3

By far Radiohead's scariest song.

I wish this song was several minutes longer, but still it's an awesome song...

Our first taste of AMSP. 💜

This may be my favourite song by them. Does anyone know when it was written? Description says its part of the TKOL Basement Sessions but based on the sound I doubt it was written during the TKOL time period.

I hear a bit of Everythinng In Its Right Place on the second piano riff.

badass is the word.

The thing about Radiohead is u never get tired of their songs..
No matter how many times u listen to them. This song is one of them...

i thought i knew most of the Radiohead songs, well except this one I guess.

Those are the correct lyrics:


the Moonies are up on the mountain
the lunatics have taken over the asylum
waiting on the rapture

singing “we,
to keep your prices down
feed you to the hounds
to the Daily Mail”
together, together

you made a pig’s ear
you made a mistake
paid off security
and got through the gate
you got away with it
but we lie in wait
hey hey, hey hey hey hey
hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey

where’s the truth,what’s the use
i’m hanging around, lost and found
when you’re here, innocent
fat chance, no plan
no regard,for human life
keep on trying,you’ve no right
fast and loose,you will lose
jumped the queue,go back again
president,for life
lord of all that flies in the sky
the beasts of the earth,
the fish in the sea
you’ve lost command
hey hey, hey hey hey
uh uh, uh uh uh
uh uh uh

Radiohead outtakes are better than most bands A material.

I haven't heard this song in years

thank goodness for radiohead

Had this been on the king of limbs it would've been the best song on the album. And that's coming from someone who loves that album

OMG this ending is so powerful

This is what social anxiety sounds like

Does this song remind anyone else of the present Republican administration? Just a bit?

I'm suspicious of people who don't like Radiohead!!

Isolation ?

This song reminds me of you and whose army but I like the climax of this song more

The Beatles introduce you to music. Radiohead makes you find it.

LEGION !

Very beatlesy

Dear lord this song just keeps grabbing me by the balls and shakes the foundations of perfection. It’s like an artist producing thousands of paintings seeking for that one piece or moment captured that feels like the one. This is the one.

The horns are so deadly

This song reminds me "maybe I"m amazed" of Paul Mccartney - both of them are superb though

Liking Radiohead brought me here

1:38 yes!!!

Radiohead Rocks 🎭

ナノラフしさはゆなはほほひさ

Holy fuck Radiodaddy

I am here because of Radiohead. Not from TV series.

No había escuchado esta joya 💎 , me enamore <3

comback plis:"(

Radiohead is for enlightened beings

Legión ,,😍😍😍

I'm glad radiohead let so many folks use their music, gems everywhere

I’ll never understand why this song didn’t make it on The King of Limbs.

Take me into your spaceship

This song still gives me goosebumps......

Just went by to download all Legion Soundtracks because I just watched freakin Legion Season 2 and it's a masterpiece.

You can never have enough of Radiohead

ive always felt this is the anthem for all who are mentally ill. yes 🙌

Strangely enough, I clearly remember this song from season one of Legion, but I'M here because of a 2011 episode of the Colbert Report!

Yep, Legion brought me here. Love the unusual chord progression 👍🏼

Radiohead brought me here

Am I the only here because I love Radiohead???
Fuck you legion fans

Legion, bitches! <3

2am a year later. Touché soul. Touché.

I love the stoner influence on the second half of this song.

When the guitar kicks in at 2:20... Fuckin A

They played this at my music exam 😂😂

FUCKING WONDERFUL

FINAL OF WESTWORLD MAMAMIA

<3 <3 <3

This should be in the Night Vale Weather section sometime

RITE HERE...

When Tom York payed homage to pink Floyd in this song, who'd have thought they'd end up hating each other.... #Lunatics

gets me off every time

fucking beautiful.

legion looks like a gay show tbh

lo tengo

Lyrics
The moon is high up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on the rapture

Singing, "We're here to keep your prices down
We'll feed you to the hounds
To the daily mail, to get up, together"

You made a pig's ear, you made a mistake
Paid off security and got through the gate
You got away with it but we lie in wait, eh
Eh, eh

Where's the truth what's the use
I'm hanging around lost and found
And when you're here innocent
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life

You'll keep time, you've no right
You're fast to lose, you will lose
You jumped the queue, you're back again

President for life, love of all
The flies in the sky, the beasts of the earth
The fish in the sea have lost command
