Wake.. from your sleep The drying of your tears Today we escape, we escape
Pack.. and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe, keep breathing Don't lose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alone
Sing.. us a song A song to keep us warm There's such a chill, such a chill
You can laugh A spineless laugh We hope your rules and wisdom choke you Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke
JUST GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS....Reminds me totally of a girl i was once in love with only to be stabbed in the back....
Thats why i LOVE the last lines....
=)

He hopes that who chokes? her father? is he angry with her father or something? is thom trying to take the daughter away from an angry father figure or merely 'stealing' her away from a father angry at HIM? I totally don't get those last lines.

according to FOLLOWMEAROUND.COM a Radiohead site:
Available on: OK Computer Other Versions: none.
While on tour with Morissette in September 1996, Radiohead was sent the last last half-hour of Baz Luhrmann's film William Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet and asked to write a song for the closing credits. Band members were impressed by the clip, and Thom wrote theis song for the movie. At first he attempted to use lines from Shakespeare's play as lyrics, but finally ditched the idea. The moment in the film when Claire Danes (Juliet) holds a Colt 45 to her head was the actual inspiration for "Exit Music". Thom also had the 1968 version of the film in his head: "I saw the Zeffirelli version when I was 13 and I cried my eyes out, because I couldn't understand why, the morning after they shagged, they didn't just run away. The song is written for two people who should run away before all the bad stuff starts. A personal song." (Harris, review). [Radiohead: From a Great Height]
Ed: Thom looked at Shakespeare's original text and tried to incorporate it into the song - but he gave up on that quickly. But I still think it fits with the film amazingly well, especially as the lyrics are actually quite personal.
Ed: We wrote this on demand for the soundtrack of the 'Romeo & Juliet' movie. We were on tour in the States with Alanis Morissette, when we received the video with the last 30 minutes of the film.
Thom: When we saw the scene in which Claire Danes holds the Colt 45 against her head, we started working on the song immediately. I had something with 'Romeo & Juliet' a long time already. I had a crush on Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet in the sixties, for a long time. I first saw the movie when I was 13. I just couldn't believe why Romeo & Juliet, after they had made love, didn't run away together. Romeo should have packed his bags, jumped out of the window and eloped with her! Romeo was an asshole I thought then.
Ed: The worst I think is that 'Exit Music' only starts at the e

i hate karma police... off ok computer, i love paranoid android and electioneering, like very much airbag, subterrean homesick alien and climbing up the walls, don't like no surprises nor lucky and hate karma police.
about karma police and no surprises, i don't know if i should take the lyrics ironically or not. i hope i should.
it seems to describe the political situation in my country nowadays. people thinking like that, longing for security and nothing else, wanting police everywhere for nothing, being paranoid and afraid of anything, made a thief being reelected as president (and in 2nd place was a fascist).

Everything about OK Computer is self-effacing and irony. That and its talented musicianship is what makes it great.

even if it's ironic, he hides it very much, there isn't much things that can help you getting the irony (only thing may be the "i've given all i can but we're still on the payroll")...! and his whiny voice doesn't help at all.
i know, i'm very shallow, not mature at all and far too influencable... -_-
maybe i hate it because it reminds me of the cruelty of the world and of some people too... and just denonciating the situation in such a way doesn't really make anything to change it, does it?

yeah, I had heard that it's was written for Romeo and Juliet... I don't much like the song... it was once my favorite, but now it's my least favorite from the albumm...
one good thing I must mention about that album is that just about every song on it was my favorite from it for a period of time... I don't think that's happened for any other album...

I FONDLY remember hearing OK Computer for the first time...It was released the same day, a few friends and I were riding in a car smoking a joint, on our way to a party....
The guy driving had just put it on without letting anyone know and Once I heard it, It captured my thoughts and intirgued me to NO END, and I didnt even know it was the NEW Radiohead album....LOL
