Paperbag Writer Lyrics

Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone

It was nice when it lasted but now it's gone
It was nice when it lasted but now it's gone

Blow into this paper bag

Take your armour off, you're not under attack
Take your armour off, you're not under attack

Come on, come on

Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone

Like they were honeybees or a plague of rats
Take your armour off, you're not under attack

Blow into this paper bag
Blow into this paper bag

this song isn't good enough for any one to comment? i think of steping outside and putting on a smile so no one knows that you're scared of the world.

Not good enough?

Damn man. People like you should not even be listening to Radiohead >.<

It's about the US and its overprotective homeland security policies, and how everyone is afraid (Take your armour off, you're not under attack) and how they should cool it off (Blow into this paper bag)

no, actually it's paperbag writer. the beatles song is paperback writer

Cover art for Paperbag Writer lyrics by Radiohead

I believe the title represents the song as a continuation of the song by the Beatles. The writer "makes a million overnight" and he is so excited that he stops writing and enjoys the success. While still on this high, he looses all attention that was on himself.

Scratch all of that.

He is so surprised by his success that he becomes afraid and locks everyone else out of his life.

Scratch that too.

I'm gonna recomment after I analyze Paperback writer.
