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
