Stop Whispering
STOP WHISPERING (5:26) Song info
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]
