No Surprises - Lyrics

Line1
Features On:OK Computer (01/1/1997)
Click here for further Info



A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please


 

Further Information about "No Surprises"

Line1

Written around 1995, this song was originally called 'No Surprises Please'. Different lyrics. Thom: We wanted it to have the atmosphere of Marvin Gaye. Or Louis Armstrong's 'Wonderful world'. Colin: It's our 'stadium-friendly' song. The idea was first frighten everyone with 'Climbing Up The Walls' and then comfort them again with a popsong with a chorus that sounds like a lullaby. Thom: I wanted a song that sounded like new double-glass: Hope-giving, clean and safe. Thom: What is fad today is rubbish tomorrow. I am an emotional dumping ground.
