i will slip myself into your pocket
invisible
do what you want, do what you want
i will shrink and i will disappear
i will slip into a groove and cut me up and cut me up

there’s an empty space inside my heart
that once had you
now i set you free
i set you free

there’s an empty space inside my heart
where the weeds take root
so now i set you free
i set you free

slowly we unfurl
as lotus flowers
and all I want is the moon upon a stick
just to see what if
just to see what if
I can’t kick the habit
just to feed your fast ballooning head
listen to your heart

we will shrink and we’ll be quiet as mice
and while the cat is away and do what we want
do what we want

there’s an empty space inside my heart
where the wings take root
so now i set you free
i set you free

because all I want is the moon upon a stick
just to see what if
just to see what if
a bird that’s flown in to my room
slowly we unfurl
as lotus flowers
and all I want is the moon upon a stick
dancing around a pit
the darkness is beneath
i can’t kick the habit
just to feed your fast ballooning head
listen to your heart

News from W.A.S.T.E:

just to let you know that Thom was guest DJ/co-host on Radio 1 Gilles Peterson show and this may be info that you would like to post onto your sites.

It was broadcast in the early hours of this morning and here’s a link for all to listen again

Including a glimpse of what Pitchfork calls Thom Yorke’s “trademark adorable/nerdy dance moves.”

“In concert the band brought out muscular, kinetic patterns, to which Mr. Yorke responded with peculiar but totally liberated dancing.” – Thom Yorke’s New Band, From Many Angles

“‘It was excellent,’ said Matt Lingo, a 21-year-old student. ‘It was the most depressing dance music I’ve ever heard.'”

don’t bore us
get to the chorus
open the floodgates
we want the goodness
without the bullshit
and no heartache
no pain and
no suffering and
no one gets hurts
we absolve you
we absolve you
open the floodgates

While you make pretty speeches I’m being cut to shreds.

Excerpt from Dead Air Space:

if you read in tommorrows headlines that a deal was reached?? remember it was nothing like what was needed and was filed by a bored complicit press who needed to show something for two weeks of crap.. and that it reflected the wests inability to lead decisively.

A headline from BBC News, on the site’s front page (as of Dec 19 4:45am Pacific):

UN welcomes climate summit deal

Saying a deal is “welcome” does not mean a deal was made, as the article makes clear. A quote from Ban Ki-moon:

We must transform this into a legally binding treaty next year.

In nytimes.com article:

The accord sets no goal for concluding a binding international treaty, which leaves the implementation of its provisions uncertain. It is likely to undergo many months, perhaps years, of additional negotiations before it emerges in any internationally enforceable form.

An image from Dead Air Space:

“baby’s got the bends.” – the bends
“oh, baby burn” – maquiladora
“baby smiling in back seat” – fitter happier
“shot of baby strapped in back seat” – fitter happier
“living in times when i can’t stand it babe” – dollars & cents
“baby alligators in the sewers” – fog
“little baby’s eyes” – i will
“send baby jesus to radiate his light” – wicked child
“you’re either in the club, baby, or you’re not” – bangers and mash

2001 – 2005 ?: Rough video doesn’t sync with the music. But this is similar to the version I heard at The Gorge in George, WA on Saturday, June 23, 2001.

2005: At Methodist Central Hall, London, April 16, 2005 for the Wake Up to Trade Justice Vigil.

2009:

“in the past couple of weeks i’ve been getting a band together for fun to play the eraser stuff live and the new songs etc.. to see if it could work!
here’s a photo.. its me, joey waronker, mauro refosco, flea and nigel godrich.”
