And the wise man say I don't want to hear your voice
And the thin man say I don't want to hear your voice
And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be
And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
And the mother say we spit on your son some more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is that there's something wrong
Because I can't find the words and I can't find the songs
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Can't remember what it is
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway

Written
as a tribute to the Pixies, an important influence on Radiohead at this
time, "Stop Whispering" clinched the band's relationship with the management
team of Hufford and Edge. Chris Sheldon remixed it for a United States
release; that version features strings and has a slower tempo. The best
version of this song, however, is the live one. Thom adds a few lyrics
to the ending. A live version can be found on the High and Dry Live Package,
which contains a closing "fuck you". [Radiohead: From a Great Height]
