Let Down (Radiohead cover) Lyrics
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes, it's so, so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and . . .
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down again
Let down again
Let down again
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and . . .
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes, it's so, so disappointing
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and . . .
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down again
Let down again
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and . . .
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
