about
Since the first time I heard this song I’d wanted to record it. I’d always imagined it with Dave Grohl on drums, and even though my version took an electronic turn I still find it pretty satisfying. I’m more than a little embarrassed to admit I haven’t listened to Radiohead in a few years. But as I understand it, Creep has become somewhat obsolete in comparison to their recent work… Who knew?
lyrics
When you were here before,
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 fuckin' special;
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here;
I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna 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 fuckin' special,
I wish I was special;
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh
She's running out again,
She's running,
She runs runs runs runs...
Runs...
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 doin' here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here...
