2. What song makes you sad?
ohh, SO many! let's see... one is "fake plastic trees" by radiohead.'

OMG, me too! If I heard it now, sober as I am I think I would start bawling my eyes out. Lots of memories and connotations there for me. Sob.

On the subject of Radiohead I always remember the lyrics 'you do it to yourself, you do, and that's why it really hurts'.
I was having a sort of breakdown about ten years ago and my friend brought round the bends for me to listen to and I really liked it lol! I used to blast it!

What a song to play to someone having a kind of paranoid breakdown, my friend is quite 'funny'.

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?
Alone on an aeroplane
Falling asleep against the window pane
My blood will THICKEN.

I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
'cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?

My baby's got the bends - Oh no
We don't have any real friends - No no no
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And Where are you?
They brought in the C.I.A.
The tanks, and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high.

My baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.

I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?
