Reseña
La discografía de Radiohead da un salto cuántico con este segundo álbum. "The Bends" es el trabajo con el que la banda se deshace de la etiqueta de "one-hit wonder" y se establece como una de las fuerzas más importantes y emocionantes del rock británico. Por consiguiente, el grupo construye aquí un sonido épico, basado en un tejido de tres guitarras y en la increíble expresividad vocal de Thom Yorke.
De hecho, el álbum es una colección impecable de himnos de rock alternativo. Por un lado, canciones como "My Iron Lung" o "Just" muestran una agresividad y una complejidad sin precedentes. Por otro lado, baladas como "Fake Plastic Trees" o "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" alcanzan una belleza y una melancolía sobrecogedoras. Es decir, la banda encuentra aquí el equilibrio perfecto entre la potencia y la vulnerabilidad. En definitiva, "The Bends" es una obra maestra y la primera gran declaración artística de Radiohead.

[X]letra de Planet Telex
You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home
Saying, everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss you can break all the rules
But still, everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget - The BendsVer letra 4:06
[X]letra de The Bends
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you
Alone on an airplane
Falling asleep against the window pain
My blood will thicken
I need to wash myself again
To hide all the dirt and pain
'Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends
Have they all got the bends
Am I really sinking, this slow
My baby's got the bends, oh no
We don't have any real friends, no no no
I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend
Waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the 60s,
I wish I could be happy, I wish, I wish, I wish
That something would happen
Where do we go from here
The planet is all gummed up in a sea of fear
And where are you
They brought in the C.I.A
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high
Baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend
Waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the 60s,
I wish I could be happy, I wish, I wish, I wish
That something would
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race, race, race
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you - High & DryVer letra 4:18
[X]letra de High & Dry
Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition
kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror
you're turning into something you are not.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation,
you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you.
You will be the one screaming out.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you've ever had,
the best thing that you've ever, ever had.
It's the best thing that you've ever had
the best thing you've had has gone away.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dryMúsicos invitados: Jim Warren (Producer [Produced With]), John Leckie (Producer [Produced With]) - Fake Plastic TreesVer letra 4:50
[X]letra de Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic watering can for
her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
What she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber bands
to get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyreneman
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him
She Looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If i could be who you wanted
If i could be who you wanted all the time, all the time - BonesVer letra 3:09
[X]letra de Bones
I don't want to a be krippled kracked
Shoulders wrists knees and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours.
When you've got to feel it in your bones.
Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozak painkillersss.
When you've got to feel it in your bones.
And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands. - (Nice Dream)Ver letra 3:53
[X]letra de (Nice Dream)
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me
Listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine
Made me happy
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But she's out with
Her answer-phone
She says she would love to come help but
The sea would
electrocute us all

Nice dream - JustVer letra 3:55
[X]letra de Just
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging 'round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get to you
And teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself - My Iron LungVer letra 4:36
[X]letra de My Iron Lung
Faith your driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it but it hurts like hell
My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen from my life support
My iron lung
Were too young to fall asleep
Too cynical to speak
We are loosing it, can't you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
Our twentieth century bitch and we are grateful for our
Iron lung
Suck suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out we'll just hum
This this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total w.a.s.t.e. of time
My Iron lung
If you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's okay [Repeat: x 2] - Bullet Proof...I Wish I WasVer letra 3:29
[X]letra de Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was
limb by limb and tooth by tooth
tearing up inside of me
everyday everyhour wish that i
was bullet proof.
wax me
mould me heat the pins
and stab them in you have turned me into this
just wish that it
was bullet proof.
so pay me money and take a shot
lead-fill
the hole in me
i could burst a million bubbles
all
surrogate & bullet proof. - Black StarVer letra 4:07
[X]letra de Black Star
Get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you.
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
The troubled words of a troubled mind I try to understand
What is eating you.
I try to stay awake but its 58hrs since that I last slept with you.
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore.
I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you.
I keep falling over I keep passing out
When I see a face like you.
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down. - SulkVer letra 3:43
[X]letra de Sulk
You bite through the big wall, the big wall bites back
You sit there and sulk, you sit there and bawl
You look so pretty, when you're on your knees
Disinfected, and eager to please
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving's come but we're already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Each time it comes, it eats me alive
I try to behave, but it eats me alive
So I declare a holiday
Fall asleep, drift away
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving's come but we're already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving's come but we're already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change - Street Spirit (Fade Out)Ver letra 4:12
[X]letra de Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love
