Second single from "Amnesiac" (2001), by Radiohead.Directed by Michel Gondry.The whole video was shot in one take in the same set (quite remarkable considering the scene changes required).Director Michel Gondry said the video was autobiographical, about himself and a girlfriend once he had. However, Thom Yorke said the lyrics were about cannibalism.This video features Emma de Caunes as Thom's girlfriend.The video tryed to interpret the surreal imagery and fit it with the song lyrics. Nevertheless, Radiohead vetoed this video from the Director's DVD release because it was about Gondry's personal life and loosely based on the song.The song was developed during the 18-month Kid A and Amnesiac sessions, and it is legendary for supposedly "having taken 373 days to record". Although "Knives Out" is not similar to Radiohead's earlier rock style as featured on The Bends (1995), it is usually noted as one of the most traditional guitar songs the band has done since 2000.L Y R I C S I want you to knowHe's not coming backLook into my eyesI'm not coming backSo knives outCatch the mouseDon't look downShove it in your mouthIf you'd been a dogThey would've drowned you at birthLook into my eyesIt's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truthSo knives outCook him upSquash his headPut him in the potI want you to knowHe's not coming backHe's bloated and frozenStill there's no point in letting it go to wasteSo knives outCatch the mouseSquash his headPut him in the pot

Radiohead is to Muse is what The Beatles are to the Monkees. Original and groundbreaking vs. corny and derivative. Both great, you say? Well, to each their own.
