the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said "I've been where I like"
"I've slept with who I liked"
"she ate me up for breakfast"
"she screwed me in a vice"

"but now
I don't know why I
feel so tongue-tied"

I sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down in neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and a-salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used in a photo in Time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in Devon

I don’t know why I
feel so tongue-tied
don’t know why
I feel
so skinned alive.

my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

yeah no one likes a smartarse but we all like stars
that wasn't my intention (tension), I did it for a reason (treason)
it must have got mixed up
strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

I don’t know why I
feel so tongue-tied

Review about Myxomatosis

Sick cat or sick humans? | Reviewer: doris benoit | 7/12/2008

I don't find these lyrics disturbing. It appears to me a commentary on the star system as is apparently the wolf at the door song. I have not read the short story and heard this song for the first time 3 weeks ago. I would assume the half a head is half a rabbit's head, hence the affliction of myx. The disease is comparable with the intoxication and blind loyalty(blindness is also a symptom of the disease)disciples of a superstar/band. Being skinned alive clearly enunciates the way a human is turned into product(by time magazine etc.)Fans rabbidly await new product from the star/medium whether the individual or band cares to feed the senses of a fickle and diseased public. The song also seems to be a confession. By participating in any hierarchy one automatically contributes to the inherent corruption of hierarchy whether music industry or organized religion. We are all damned. Pretty straight forward song. There are abstractions in Radio Head lyrics but before their recent decline, their appeal for me was establishing a type of sonic cinema, with lyrics being quite secondary.

God radiohead is amazing. There forever equally disturbing and entrancing music is enough to capture anyone but the ignorant, the arrogant, and the blind. Self-mutilation does seem to be a bit too self-centered for the traditional radiohead topic. I long to understand the weirdness only found in that thin line between madness and genius...

I wish i could read that short story lol
but hey whatever your interpretation is right?

the constant buzzing makes ME think of some rabid fleaball of a sick cat (which i guess is the point)
charging around shaking his wilting paws and half bragging about a his sorry state and so yeah,i also feel there is something positively masochistic going on here

the lyrics are as always for Radiohead, thought provoking
equal parts disgusting and hilarious here ('Twitching and salivating.....I GOT MYXOMATOSIS!")

a song that gets more disturbing the more you get into it, not the one note wonder i initially thought it to be

ok, its about the story.. so centre your attention on the story. -

In a metaforic way, its bout the self-mutilation.. its doesnt sounds you?

this song is not about self mutilation. the lyrics are taken from a short story thom yorke wrote, which centres around these lines
"the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head"

Radiohead are a bit beyond the self-indulgence of self mutilation, which as far as I know they have no personal experience of. this album is largely pollitically motivated

Have they done it once again? The music is sublime. They are some of the only musicians I have heard that can trully convey emotions through music. The synthesisers, the guitar, the voice, these instruments just come together wonderfully. The lyrics on these songs deserve particular mention. Self-mutilation (or even mutilation by one you slept with) is a wondrous or disastrous thing. Radiohead know more than they should. I only hope life does not bore them.

Incredible | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/2005

This, along with 2+2=5 and Backdrifts is certainly one of the best songs off of Hail to the Thief, which is one of Radiohead's best albums to date. Wonderful Song.
