It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had
The best thing you’ve had has gone away

A trip down memory lane. For some reason, I can not stop listening to this song (and the whole of The Bends album). It sorta fits the sombre state I am in. It’s amazing how a song can take your mind for a trip, even if it only lasted for 4 minutes. Multiply that with constant repetition and infused with the rest of the tracks from The Bends, you have a whole vacation in your mind. I’m going nuts.

High and Dry
by Radiohead
from The Bends (1995)

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror; you’re turning into something you are not

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you when you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had
The best thing that you’ve ever, ever had
It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had
The best thing you’ve had has gone away

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
