it might be creep but i also like lucky.
i like creep because it was the first radiohead song i heard and it really did sound new to me. and some of the lines are just so perfect in reflecting the experience he is trying to describe. "your skin makes me cry" is right up there with "do i dare to eat a peach?" in capturing the way beauty shames us.
i like lucky because of "kill me sarah. kill me again." something about seeing a reference to pop culture recontextualized like that -- again -- for me this was just brilliant. i had an OK Computer poster in my freshman dorm room.
what this all says about me is that i am a lyrics guy.
