A song by British rock group Radiohead, first played live on July 9, 2000 in Caesaria, Israel under the title Alligators in New York Sewers, and later recorded in the studio and released as a B-side on the Knives Out UK CD2 single under its current name.
Whereas the original live version consisted of
Thom Yorke singing and playing
piano solo, the studio version begins with
electronic chimes and
noise, and
bass guitar accompanying Thom's vocals. Tambourine, electronically-processed
guitar, and
drum kit enter the mix half of the way through the song.
There's a little child
Running round this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast
Grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Somethings will never wash away
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
