This Mess We're In (Featuring Pj Harvey)
Radiohead · Other Songs - Radiohead
Im in New York
No need for words now, we sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me, I think it's Wednesday, the evening
The mess we're in
and ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Night and day,
I dream of making love to you now baby
Love making on screen,
Impossible dream
And I have seen the sunrise over the river
The freeway reminds me of...
This mess we're in
And ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
What were you wanting?
(What was it you wanted?)
I just want to say
(I just want to say dont ever change)
dont ever change now baby
(and thankyou)
and thank you
(I dont think we will meet again)
I dont think we will meet again
and you must leave now before the sunrise above sky
scrapers The sin and ...
(and we must leave now before the sunrises over the
sky scrapers and the city landscape comes into being,
the sweat on my skin ohhhh...)
This mess we're in
And ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
Ohhh...
(The city sunset over me)
This Mess We're In (Featuring PJ Harvey)
Released in 2008, this track by Radiohead features a collaboration with PJ Harvey, blending the band's signature post-rock textures with her distinctive vocal delivery. The recording captures a moment of introspection and tension, characteristic of the duo's work during this period. While often associated with the broader themes explored in their discography, the song stands as a standalone piece that highlights the dynamic interplay between the artists. It reflects the evolving sound of Radiohead, moving away from their earlier electronic experiments toward a more organic, guitar-driven approach while retaining their complex rhythmic structures. The track remains a notable example of their ability to collaborate with external voices to create unique sonic landscapes.
