Swaying side to side
Jaws are open wide
Hid under my hat
Just to wind you up
Just to piss you off
Floating on their backs
You're falling on your ass
Falling through the glass
Everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
They snort and then they hoot
They're lapping up the soup
Slipping in the mud
You're falling on your ass
You're falling through the glass
And everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
'Cause we can't control it
We can't control it, we can't control it anymore
We can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
Control it anymore
Dogs a-barking
Cymbals crashing
Tongues a lashing
Slow convulsions
And everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
'Cause we can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
We can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
Control it anymore
You're falling on your ass
You're falling through the glass
And everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
Chain reacting
Happy slapping
Jaws are open wide

Just to wind you up
Just to piss you off
Floating on their backs
You're falling on your ass
Falling through the glass
Everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
They snort and then they hoot
They're lapping up the soup
Slipping in the mud
You're falling on your ass
You're falling through the glass
And everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
'Cause we can't control it
We can't control it, we can't control it anymore
We can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
Control it anymore
Dogs a-barking
Cymbals crashing
Tongues a lashing
Slow convulsions
And everybody's laughing
Bodies laughing
'Cause we can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
We can't control it, we can't control it
We can't control it anymore
Control it anymore
You're falling on your ass
You're falling through the glass
And everybody's laughing

I know this will sound a bit odd, and obvious, but until this song it never actually occurred to me that "everybody" in its simplest version is "bodies!"

Even Yorke's "irony" is shallow and weak. Just like his "music".

Hehe. Radiohead bandmembers' side project and they call it "The Smile"? The immediately recognizable, doomy, jazz-inflected sound and "spasmodic" lyrics of Radiohead and they chose "The Smile"?

Quite captivating, Captain! Remember when groups used to celebrate -- and be celebrated for -- fearless experimentation and creativity, especially when their virtuosity was beyond obvious? I love that Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are going even broader afield than their work with RadioHead, and I love that RP plays it. Forge on ahead, pioneers of artistic musical expression, and let's keep parting the waves on the ocean of ever-spreading complacency and stagnation!
Great to see another track emerge on RP from this excellent new album! Overall, I'm really liking this album more than the last one.

It's called "trolling"
