09. cymbal rush
try to save but it doesnt come off the rug
try to build a wall that is high enough
s'all boiling over
s'all boiling over
try to save your house
try to save your songs
try to run but if follows you up the hill
s'all boiling over
s'all boiling over
your loved ones
your loved ones
a normal conversation
a normal conversation
you should a took me out while you had the chance
all the rooms renumbered and the loosers turned away
dont turn away dont turn away
you should a took me out while you had the chance
there were ten in the bed and the little one said roll over
you should a took him out while you had the chance.--"scrapbook", radiohead.com
Will you be playing any of these songs live?--Mojo | July 2006
Thom: The guys are talking about including some of the songs in the set. They seem well up for it. At the same time, we've got a lot of new songs of our own which we need to sort through first. I don't want to make it a big priority because it would be a lot of hard work to reinterpret stuff like that. It could become a major headache. But Jonny and I did a version of "Cymbal Rush"--that's my favourite--at a benefit show recently [May 1st, at the Koko in London]. It came out quite messy, but we'd only had two days to rehearse it.
Thom: "The words to 'Cymbal Rush' started out coming from a direct experience. But then I filtered out all the' direct experience' connotations until I was left with something else entirely."--Mojo | July 2006
Thom: In the last song, "Cymbal Rush", the first bit you hear is something I had for three years, one little note. I could hear the melody in there straight away. But if you played it to anyone else without me singing it, you'd think, 'What's he on about?
Were these songs written in a concentrated period?--Rolling Stone | 1 June 2006
Thom: Absolutely, except for "Cymbal Rush"--that riff had been around for ages.

"you should have took me out..."
hi francisco!
glad you liked the lyrics. the lyrics from 'cymbal rush' are the way thom wrote them. these are taken from the lyrics booklet in the japanese edition of 'the eraser'. thom writes like that so i kept it in it's original form.
great!
where did you find that booklet? did you bought that edition?
or somebody scanned it?
bye =)
no, i don't have the booklet. someone on a message board transcribed one song off of the lyrics page, but that's all we have so far. hopefully we will get the other ones soon. :)
I perform this song live very often :). On piano or guitar, sometimes I bring my keyboard, where I have recorded me using the keyboards abilities to generate the beats, and have it play them as I play guitar or piano to It. I do this at a restaraunt nearby, they have an opening that makes it easy to lounge outside, especially considering there is never anyone else there except the cute girl that works there and gives me free drinks. I love and hate life..
