Radiohead - Creep Lyrics

Radiohead Lyrics

"Creep"

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

Oh, oh

She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

This song had been written five years before its release, even before the band was formed, when Thom Yorke was still a student.

The book "Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless" explains that this song was inspired by a girl, whom Thom Yorke liked very much but didn't have courage to approach, though he saw her many times. He thought she was too good for him.

The band has been usually refusing to play this song since the release of their third album "OK Computer" (1997) because they got tired of it. They played it only occasionally since then, just to remember whether it is still cool.

The song has been covered many times, e.g. by Kelly Clarkson and Prince.

album: "Pablo Honey" (1993)
