How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

One of Radiohead’s best and most popular B-sides, “Talk Show host” first appeared on the “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” single and was ultimately remixed for the film Romeo and Juliet for its immensely popular soundtrack album. This version, known as the “Nellee Hooper remix”, was less guitar-driven than the original and included various atmospheric sounds. There is also a “Black Dog remix” with distorted tempos.

Many of Radiohead’s live shows in 1997 featured this song in yet another incarnation that featured a longer, guitar-driven ending and Jonny Greenwood’s keyboards.
