[Verse 1]
I don't want to be crippled and cracked
Shoulders, wrists, knees, and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours

[Chorus]
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones

[Verse 2]
Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozac, painkillers

[Chorus]
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones

[Bridge]
And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands

[Outro]
Listen, you've got to feel it in your bones
Listen, you've got to feel it in your bones

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.
