Street Spirit (Fade Out) 

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me 
All these things into position 
All these things we'll one day swallow whole 
And fade out again and fade out 

This machine will not communicate 
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under 
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds 
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes 
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole 
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

Released: March 1995  
Found on: The Bends & Street Spirit single. Acoustic 
version found on Fake Plastic Trees CD2.  This song was written 
in 1993, around the same time as "My Iron Lung." "Creep" is 
Radiohead's American hit, this is the British equivalent. Laced 
with Ed's absolutely perfect arpeggios, the track has a 
mesmerizing quality that links it to the work of Stereolab. 
With lyrics about feeling like a very small person in an 
intimidating world, this fan favorite is memorable and timeless.
