Thinking About You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're now a star
What do you care?

[Verse 2]
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you?
Still see you in bed?
But I'm playing with myself
And what do you care
When the other men are far, far better?

[Bridge]
All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes?
Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey?

[Verse 3]
I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep?
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you?
Still see you in bed?
But I'm playing with myself
And what do you care
When I'm not there?

[Bridge]
All the things you've got
That you'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I bleed to please you

[Outro]
Been thinking about you

About

There are two studio versions of this track. The first one, with a faster tempo and more guitars was released in the Manic Hedgehog demo, and later on the EPs Drill and Itch, with different mixing. The second recording became an acoustic ballad and was released in Radiohead’s debut album, Pablo Honey

The lyrics in “Thinking About You” tell a story about insecurity, desperation, and just a hint of masturbation. A possible interpretation is that it focuses on the experience of being left behind by someone who has achieved fame.
