Everybody is Jesus in purgatory, the cat, the half a head, the salivating thing, all of it. Read it again thinking about Jesus in purgatory! It's all I can see!!! I`m way off! | Reviewer: Tam | 7/17/09 I`m way off on this guys, i thought it was a dig a george bush!!!! For me "(the mongrel cat came home holding half a head proceeded to show it off to all his new found friends he said "I've been where I like)" a shot at his rediculous (Half won)(half a head) war in middle east! then blagging on telly about winning a war!!! Read the lyrics again and think Bush! Its all i can see! Bush has his speeches written by his aides and when asked a question not prepared for, stutters (twitches and salivates) gets tongue tied? amazing song | Reviewer: cupcake | 6/26/09 i have listened to this song multiple times and haven't even begun analyzing the lyrics lol! at first i too somehow thought the song was in a strange time signature, but the count-off and whole song is in 4 but it has a strange an awesome feel that makes it different! it's a mesmerizing song. the instruments really puts me in a trance. somehow the vocals make me feel like i want him to sing out, but it also makes me feel like "wow he's portraying the song perfectly". it's a strange pull! Amazing song | Reviewer: Adrift | 5/4/09 Awesome song, the lyrics seem to hint at fame and false friends specifically "the mongrel cat came home holding half a head proceeded to show it off to all his new found friends" as well as comparing disease to losing your identity. This is my second favorite radiohead song to climbing up the walls though radiohead has never had a bad song, all their songs are interesting and complex in some way and you cant say that about too many if any , bands. Drumming | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/31/09 First time i tried counting this song i was so confused. thought it was 9/8, but after listening to it again figured out it was 4/4. Damn that phil selway and his syncopation! Favourite song atm. <3 Unfortunately Beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/08 Compared to others my interpretation may seem insignificant. Most reviewers say that this song is about self-mutilation and while I don't personally agree with that, Myxomatosis, A disease that small mammals can only acquire, is referencing a human only disease. Like in the first verse where he mentions his partner "ate him up for breakfast" and "screwed him up in a vice" is like saying she gave him a type disease, metaphorically of course. Like Myxomatosis, STI's are transferable through the blood. It's genius and possibly my favorite radiohead song. Also let's not forget how beautifully composed it was. Every instrument in the piece matches perfectly in a cacophony of sounds managing to create a perfect atmospheric effect that is so fitting. "that wasn't my intention" Sick cat or sick humans? | Reviewer: doris benoit | 7/12/08 I don't find these lyrics disturbing. It appears to me a commentary on the star system as is apparently the wolf at the door song. I have not read the short story and heard this song for the first time 3 weeks ago. I would assume the half a head is half a rabbit's head, hence the affliction of myx. The disease is comparable with the intoxication and blind loyalty(blindness is also a symptom of the disease)disciples of a superstar/band. Being skinned alive clearly enunciates the way a human is turned into product(by time magazine etc.)Fans rabbidly await new product from the star/medium whether the individual or band cares to feed the senses of a fickle and diseased public. The song also seems to be a confession. By participating in any hierarchy one automatically contributes to the inherent corruption of hierarchy whether music industry or organized religion. We are all damned. Pretty straight forward song. There are abstractions in Radio Head lyrics but before their recent decline, their appeal for me was establishing a type of sonic cinema, with lyrics being quite secondary. sublimity rules | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/16/07 God radiohead is amazing. There forever equally disturbing and entrancing music is enough to capture anyone but the ignorant, the arrogant, and the blind. Self-mutilation does seem to be a bit too self-centered for the traditional radiohead topic. I long to understand the weirdness only found in that thin line between madness and genius... No one likes a Smart-ass but we all like Stars | Reviewer: Alex | 6/2/07 I wish i could read that short story lol but hey whatever your interpretation is right? the constant buzzing makes ME think of some rabid fleaball of a sick cat (which i guess is the point) charging around shaking his wilting paws and half bragging about a his sorry state and so yeah,i also feel there is something positively masochistic going on here the lyrics are as always for Radiohead, thought provoking equal parts disgusting and hilarious here ('Twitching and salivating.....I GOT MYXOMATOSIS!") a song that gets more disturbing the more you get into it, not the one note wonder i initially thought it to be Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Myxomatosis The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
