Re: Radiohead lyric debate: Idioteque
Well, it certainly *could* be allowed, which is a new perspective to me. But I still think it's alive. When it's sung in the latter portions of the song, it's a very drawn out long 'I' sound. This doesn't necessarily mean anything with Yorke singing, but it's enough for me to stick with my original thought without evidence to the contrary.
Also, that site has plenty of incorrect or incomplete lyrics, at least to my ears. |

Let's put this to rest.
1. Download the SNL version. 2. At 2:16 watch Ed O'Brian (in the foreground, on backup vocals) It is clearly "alive". |

Re: Radiohead lyric debate: Idioteque
Again, watch the SNL video. O'Briens upper teeth clearly press aginst his lower lip at the end of the word, indicating either a "v" or an "f".
Unless he's saying, "Here, I'm an elf", or "Here I'm an ALF", It has to be "alive" |
