Radiohead – “Creep”


Anthemic, and powerful written about us all at some point in our lives, some more than others. For me it conjures up memories of two particular chapters of my life where I have been totally awe struck by the beauty and grace of the interested party – and completely struggled to begin to see what they saw in me. I, being generally low in self confidence at those times, began to feel out of place, awkward and ultimately shrank beneath my puzzled veneer until there was nothing left of substance.

When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youre so fuckin special

But Im a creep,
Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special

But Im a creep,
Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

Shes running out again,
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special...

But Im a creep,
Im a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.I dont belong here.

Wiki

"Creep" is the first single released by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, and is a track on their debut album, Pablo Honey, 1993. It was written by the band's singer, Thom Yorke, and released in the United Kingdom initially in September 1992. When it was first given limited release, however, Radio 1 found it "too depressing",[1] and removed it from their playlist after airing it only twice. However, it subsequently became one of the band's biggest hits, and became their only Top 40 hit in the United States until 2008's "Nude", despite the success of their further albums in the country.
