Creep

"Creep" is a song by Radiohead. It was recorded by The Gliding Faces and performed live at their "An album party" event to promote the release of Dark matters, where it moved one audience member to tears. Having heard the song, a number of people suggested the song be released in its live format and Max very quickly did the vocals and the track was put on the covers album, "On the nose" at the last minute.

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
 I wish I was special
 You're so very 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 care if it hurts
 I wanna 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
 
 And she's running out to run (run)
 She's running out
 To run, run, run, run
 Ooh
 
 Whatever makes you happy
 Whatever you want
 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
 'cause I'm a creep
 I'm a weirdo
 What the hell am I doing here
 I don't belong here
 
 No, I don't belong here, oh
 Ooh, oh
 
 Yes, I'm a creep
 I'm a weirdo
 Ooh, oh
 
 I'm a creep
