04. black swan
what will grow crooked you cant make straight
its the price that you;'ve got to pay
do yourself a favour and pack you bags
buy a ticket and get on the train
buy a ticket and get on the train
coz this is fucked up
fucked up
people get crushed like biscuit crumbs
and laid down in the bitumen
you have tried to best to please everyone
but it just isnt happenin
but it just isnt happenin
and that is fucked up
this is fucked up
this your blind spot
blind spot
it should be obvious
but its not
you cannot kick start a dead horse
you just cross yourself and walk away
i dont care what the future holds
coz i am right here and im today
this is fucked up
this is fucked up
we are black swans
black swans
and for spare parts we are broken up
you are fucked up
this is fucked up
we are black swans
and for spare parts were broken up
I also like the lines in "Black Swan": 'You cannot kick-start a dead horse/You just cross yourself and walk away'.--Thom Yorke | Rolling Stone | 2006
Thom: [Laughs] As always, whatever psychic garbage you've got going on in your head, you end up using it. You should have seen the stuff I didn't put in. That's the shit you don't want to know about."

Thanks for posting these lyrics. I have been looking for them so I can add them to Lyrical Wisdom.
Hi! I couldn't get your link to work. :(
Great site!! In that particular song you missed "with your fingers you can touch me" after "coz i am right here and im today". Other than that, thanks a lot!!!
Hi. Yes, I'm aware that line is missing but I just copied the lyrics from the Japanese edition of the album and they didn't have that part. I'll double check to make sure. I guess I could've just transcribed what I heard but I am not 100% sure about some of the lines, like the 'my fairytale Arab princess' to me actually sounds like 'my fairytale I represent', so I decided to go by the booklet in the CD instead. Thanks for your comment. :-)
