Bluebelle 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've always liked Bones, but the Peter Pan line is silly, imo. Link to post Share on other sites
Hippopothomas J 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Always been my least favourite song on The Bends, but couldn't really tell you why. Shit chorus, probably. Link to post Share on other sites
H.J. 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 it's like the cheesiest song ever, the lyrics about peter pan, i can't even remember the melody of the verse and I've heard it a fair few times. It is half responsible for me placing The Bends probably like 7th on my list of favourite radiohead albums. The Bends would probably be like my 3rd favourite IF: 1. There weren't so many cheesy parts, like Nice Dream is an amazing song but the "Nice Dream turns bad" part with the aggressive guitars and hard strumming just sucks and completely ruins the last bit of the song for me. Same with The Bends, like that part with the cool drums "waitin' fer somethin to happen" bit is awesome but the intro chords that run through the chorus are so dad rock. Plus Bones and Sulk are just kinda corny and lame. It would be better if they omitted these things 2. Track Listing. Some of the B-sides like permanent daylight, (maybe) killer cars, talk show host and The Trickster should be on the album instead of Sulk and Bones. 3. If it wasn't called The Bends. I'm sorry I'd rather not say "oh i love the bends" when a hot girl asks me about radiohead albums, which is of frequent occurrence obviously Link to post Share on other sites

(GiveUpTheGhost) 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm interested in your opinions...I love that song. Fucking great song. I love that people don't give it any attention, it makes me feel like I know a secret other RH fans don't. Link to post Share on other sites

Hippopothomas J 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Really though I don't think this song is dreadful but when you consider some of the stuff that's on My Iron Lunch I wish they'd saved one of those songs and put it where Bones went Link to post Share on other sites
Fast Tracker 12 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Its probably the best of the weaker tracks on The Bends. Link to post Share on other sites

Girl In Rainbows 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I don't hate it! It used to be part off my top 20 (which changes every now and then). Even though the lyrics are a little well..interesting the instrumentals are quite catchy - especially the guitar - really good riffs by eddy and Jon jon. Link to post Share on other sites

chris. 20 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 not too great of a song but sulk is surely the worst song on the album those two bring the album down a coupla notches Link to post Share on other sites

PrettyCoolGuy 0 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Plus that lyric, the one about Peter Pan, it makes me cringe.I picture Thom as Peter Pan, laugh about it, and then die a little inside. This one lyric severely damages my opinion of the song too. It's about the cheesiest and uninspired lyric in a Radiohead song I can think of, I nearly facepalm whenever I hear it. I can't imagine Thom would ever write the verse. "I used to fly like Peter Pan, all the children flew when I touched their hand" Ugh. Lyrics aside, the actually melody of the song isn't half bad.

subterranean homesick sam 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Why do people hate on sulk so much? I'd say thats the most hated on the bends through what i've seen on blogs and comments. Link to post Share on other sites
