Creep (Radiohead cover) Lyrics

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

And even if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

Oh, Oh
She's running out the door
She's running
She run, run, run, run, run
run, run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here

Cover art for Creep (Radiohead cover) lyrics by Pretenders, The

This is the best cover of this song I have heard. The depth of passion in this song - and in all of Chrissies work TBH - is astounding.

Other versions, I have always understood to mean "you are very special, wonderful, and I wish I could aspire to being like you. Unfortunately, I am just a creep and a wierdo, who shouldn't think such things". However, this version is much more like "You think you are SO very fucking 'special', don't you, and I am just a lowlife you can't be bothered with? Why am I wasting my time with you?"

It is different, but with the same words.
