[Verse 1]
You don't want to talk to me
You don't want to say the words
Trying to get off the hook
Trying to get off the hook
Spot it on a pin
Hanging off a hook
Trying to get yourself away
Trying to get yourself away

[Verse 2]
There's no use dwelling on
On what might have been
Just think of all the fun
You could be having
We know the way you talk
We know what you want
We know what you want
What you really want

[Verse 3]
Take a look around
The candles on the cake
On what might have been
The road you should have took
Mistakes, mistaken
There's no use dwelling on
No use dwelling on

[Chorus 1]
It's such a beautiful day
It's such a beautiful day
Find yourself a moment
And go and get some wings

[Chorus 2]
It's such a beautiful day
It's such a beautiful day
Go up to the mic, go up to the mic
Go and get some wings

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.
