[Verse 1]
After years of waiting
Nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
[Post-Chorus]
After years of waiting
[Verse 2]
After years of waiting, nothing came
And you realize you're looking in, looking in the wrong place
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
After years of waiting
Nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
[Post-Chorus]
After years of waiting
[Verse 2]
After years of waiting, nothing came
And you realize you're looking in, looking in the wrong place
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
[Interlude]
(I'mma try for...)
After years of waiting
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
(I'mma try for...)
After years of waiting
[Chorus]
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
About
Genius Annotation
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box kicked off the session with a trippy, dance backbeat and a pounding kettle drum (or, perhaps, drummer Phil Selway was literally banging on a kitchen pot). Yorke’s vocal was mostly distorted and processed with auto-tune throughout the track, weaving in and out of indistinguishable (in this setting, at least) sampled vocals.
Colin: “The kkkurrghh from Packt Like Sardines, that’s from Thom’s laptop. We just compressed messed-up loops.”
