This is going to be rather random, but who will read this, anyway? So I'm gonna go all DADA on this post.
Idea for Radiohead's 15 Steps video: Child playing with yoyo on steps, yoyo turns into sufi dancer. Sufi dancers mutiply and then strings of sufi yoyos snap, sufi dancers whirl off into space.
Pretty silly, eh?
Too simplistic for Mr. Thom Yorke and Co.
Here are the lyrics for 15 Steps:
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string.
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string
You used to be all right
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
You used to be all right
What happened?
Etcetera Etcetera
Thanks for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a sheer drop
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string.
