Morning Mr. Magpie - 8 år efter

I december 2002 kunne man se et udkast til et kommende Radiohead-nummer på webcast. Arbejdstitlen var Good Morning Mr. Magpie eller Morning M'lord og kan ses her:


You know you should
But you don't
You know you should
But you don't

You got some nerve
Coming here
You got some nerve
Coming here

Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
Next doorway, all the magic
It took my melody

Ooh...

Nu er sangen efter mere end otte år omsider udsendt i en færdig udgave, og den figurerer på det nyudkomne album The King of Limbs. Sangen er nu betydeligt længere, der er sket en masse på lydsiden, og desuden er teksten blevet redigeret:

You got some nerve
Coming here
You got some nerve
Coming here

You stole it all
Give it back
You stole it all
Give it back

Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
Now you stole it, all the magic
Took my memories

Ooh...

You know you should
But you don't
You know you should
But you don't

Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
Now you stole it, all the magic
Took my melody
