[Verse 1]
I've had these jeans since I was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards

[Verse 2]
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But mom and dad will not give in

[Chorus]
And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No, I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

[Verse 3]
And now I know just what it is
It's called disease and it's got my head
It always runs where I hide

[Verse 4]
Too scared to talk, too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends say bye bye

[Chorus]
And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

Radiohead

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.
