Morning Bell Lyrics
Artist(Band):Radiohead
Review The Song (17)Print the Lyrics
A morning bell
A morning bell
Light another candle and
Release me
Release me

You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please
Release me
Release me

Where'd you park the car
Where'd you park the car
Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
And I might as well
I might as well

Sleepy jack the fire drill
Running round and round and round and round and round...
And round

Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half

I wanted to tell you but you never listen
I keep walking
And I wanted to tell you but you never listen
And I keep walkin', walkin', walkin'

The lights are on but nobody's home
And everyone wants to be your friend
And nobody wants to be afraid
And everyone wants to be your friend
And nobody wants to be afraid
Until you're walking, walking, walking

Review about Morning Bell

Nonsense | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/9/09

I find that alot of public school boys talk alot of bollocks. Yes i enjoy Radiohead's music, i've bought their records i have seen them live, and i am very much so a devotee. However i find your critique does not validate your interpretation to understand. I find that Radiohead's music is superb in every singular form (thus making them possily one of the greatest bands ever to surface in contemporary music). I do think the meaning and subject matter to songs are interesting. But there's nothing creative about sounding off your own pompous and sickingly pretentious annotations. Kid A is a brilliant record and it won't be forgotten.



Palm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/6/09

I do not understand why people utterly believe that lyrics, music, drawing, literature, etc. were meant to vague conceptions of the artists. Yes, it may their creation, but their jobs are also to create something that an audience will grasp to. So vagueness and art seem to contradict. Not narcissistic, just in actuality an honest understanding of what they're representing.




Ring a Bell | Reviewer: Flic | 8/4/09

I think that Anonymous has it right. This is an adult that has memories of the big bust-up of his parents. The material things were not important. Furniture on the lawn presumably thrown out by the spouse who will remain and the other saying keep it.

There is a choice - leave the family home or stay in an unhappy marriage - bumps on heads. But its a choice that cannot be made because there are kids. The release needed is from the kids who cannot be asked and who aren't likely to agree anyway. And leaving will cut the kids in half metaphorically. The madness of the argument is explained away as a fire drill to protect the sleepy kids from a reality that has been avoided so many times and might be once again. But I think that divorce finally came for Kid A to Kid n.

The violence suggested by "bumps on the head" is a way out of this prison-like situation as others might force a decision on you.

The movie Paris - Texas (Wim Wenders) begins with the walking that ends this piece of genius. But there is another song on Amnesiac "I might be wrong". And I might.



more on deevorce | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09

Not intellectual enough to identify all of the metaphorical references, with some research could probably identify...

if not literally about divorce, could be paralleling the concept of "divorce" more broadly. Release me from the "contract" or attachment to all of these grotesque/maddening circumstances.

I don't know: being a victim again of my own critique: I just see the fire alarm being such a parody to the arguments in divorce that just go round and round in circles: emergency emotional flare ups over and over again until you just want to start walking away and you walk until you find some sanity again.

just thoughts.



Deevorce from your "self" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09

We are such a narcissistic society. Is it possible that Radiohead's lyrics were not meant to be so much "personalized" and matched with your emotions (he's not singing about YOU, more at ALL OF US) who are in this crappy dysfunctional society with it's fantasized utopia and grotesque manifestations of "successful" capitalism.

I am glad people can "personally" relate to Radiohead, but sometimes it seems like the greater irony of Mr. Yorke's lyrics are being missed entirely: ironic in itself is the narcissists only ad to the irony: I guess YOU ARE the "ones" Tom's singing about. Every thread has posts about the emotional attachment to Mr. Yorke, and how they can "personally" relate. I'm not an authority on the subject by any means, but he seems generous enough to "relate" to the human experience that all of us are having in the modern world. However, he is also rather sarcastic about our self-centered and off-based attempts at "self-realization" and seems to be trying to request that we admit to the harsh realities that do actually exist around us...

I do see the parody of complex thought in many of Radiohead's songs- along with analysis of historical and scientific reference.

In this particular song: (of course I don't know the man who wrote it personally so am not an expert on his intentions/interpretation), but in this song in particular, it seems rather obviously about DIVORCE.

Of course, perhaps I am a victim of my own critique and am relating "personal experience" to the lyrics. Who knows?



Cut the kids in half | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/09

Cut the kids in half probably has something to do of king solomon's story about the two women arguing over who was the mother of the kid. I think it has something to do with how much we are attached to things and people.



Morning Bell - Different Meanings? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/28/09

An interesting thing to think about is the two versions of Morning Bell having different meanings. On Kid A, it seems to be pretty clearly about divorce. But on Amnesiac, after hearing Knives Out, which is about cannibalism, lyrics like "Bump on the head, howling down the chimney" and "Cut the kids in half" seem to have a more sinister meaning.



music lyrics | Reviewer: gabi | 12/7/08

this is what's so amazing about music and poems, u'll never b sure what the writer was trying to say... and as u think of what could it be the music becomes unique for u and each of those who listen to each.. every time someone listen to it, it's a different song that's being played.
i luv music!! may it b sad, happy, or weird......"D



We are the dollars and cents | Reviewer: nikita | 9/9/08

I deem that Thom is one of the few to whom suits to take drugs.. Lyrics are simply outstanding giving a chance to immerse your head in the melancholic atmosphere of the thoughts being discussed in the topic below.



Dave, almost | Reviewer: knicker, barker | 9/9/08

At first, I thought this song might be about divorce, because of lyrics like 'You can keep the furniture,' and 'Cut the kids in half,' but after reading them online here, I think they may be about someone who goes insane, but really I'm just not quite sure. They're weird and they don't really make much sense.

yes, domestic relationships are crazy, Dave
