This track was recorded in the ballroom of actress Jane Seymour’s mansion at 3 A.M. It closes with computerized sounds created by ZX Spectrum computers, which all the members of Radiohead owned in the 1980s. Jonny explains what it’s all about: “It’s like when Andy Warhol said he enjoyed being bored. It’s about that feeling that you get when you’re not in control of it – you just go past thousands of places and thousands of people and you’re completely removed from it.”
Thom: “I was pissed in a club, and I suddenly had the funniest thought I’d had for ages – what if all the people who were drinking were hanging from the bottles… if the bottles were hung from the ceiling with string, and the floor caved in, and the only thing that kept everyone up was the bottles? It’s also about an enormous fear of being trapped.”

I think this is Radiohead best song so far, specialy because it's not as too personal as other, this song talk about problems and how you gonna pass them (I'm going to grow wings), it's totally de oposit of Streer Spirit. But what i like more about this song is that come just after the drama on Exit Music [For A Film], other thing is always i heard this song i can't avoid smiling (=

This is one of the best songs to listen to with a really, really good pair of headphones, purely for the two separate vocals splitting between your ears in the last verse - chuffed to bits when that happens!
