[Verse 1]
Mother Mary come to me
For I am a wicked child
I've sinned and I am so confused
And I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child

[Verse 2]
I am the devil's son
And I wish I could be good
I walk the crooked mile
Yet I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good

[Verse 3]
If I could've kept
On the straight and narrow
If I could've kept
On the straight and narrow, and not have broke your heart
Not have broke your heart

[Verse 4]
Now I wake up in the night
He's tugging at my arms and legs like I was a marionette
Send baby Jesus to radiate his light
To radiate his light

Radiohead emerged from the shadow of ‘90s Brit-pop with a sound that was moody, melodic and explosive; with roots planted firmly in both alternative culture and the art-rock legacy of such groups as Pink Floyd, R.E.M., The Smiths, and Talking Heads—from whose song they derived their name.

They formed in 1985, as On A Friday, named after the day they’d usually rehearse. The line-up hasn’t changed Thom Yorke (guitar/vocals), Ed O'Brien (guitar), Philip Selway (drums) and brothers Colin and Jonny Greenwood.

In 1991, they signed with EMI, changed their name to Radiohead, and recorded their first EP, Drill. They released the record in 1992, and it made little impact, debuting on the UK Charts at #101. It wasn’t until their catchy 1992 single “Creep” became a massive hit that the band was launched into the limelight.
