Creep
Radiohead · Radiohead: The Best Of [2008]
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door
She's running out, she run, run, run, run, run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Creep
Released in 1992, "Creep" stands as a defining track in Radiohead's discography, capturing the band's early transition from alternative rock to experimental art rock. The song features Thom Yorke's distinctive vocal delivery, which conveys a sense of alienation and self-doubt that became central to the group's identity during the Britpop era. While often associated with the album "Pablo Honey," the track has since been celebrated for its enduring emotional resonance and its role in shaping the sound of modern indie music. Its inclusion on the 2008 greatest hits compilation highlights its status as a staple of the band's catalog, influencing countless artists across genres who have adopted its themes of vulnerability and introspection.
