k, im not a radiohead fan really, but i found an old song on my comp called innocent (i think the real name is innocent civilian), but cant for the life of me find what album its from. Anyone know?

i don't know either. so it must be a b-side.

Its not a real radiohead song. Here's some info about it all:

During the making of Kid A and Amnesiac, Ed O'Brien's diary listed a lot of brand new unreleased songs that either made it the two albums or didn't. "Innocents Civilian" never did and to tell you the truth, the song may have never existed in the first place and may just be a joke from the band. In February 2000, Ed made the following entry in his diary: "go on message board and someone asks us about 'innocents civilian'. so once we get off the web we decide to put up the master tape of it. can't find it anywhere which is incredibly strange. it's got to turn up."

After this there was this whole brew-ha-ha on the official Radiohead message board about someone stealing the "Innocents Civilian" master tape. It turns out that this was all a fake... Ed said in a press conference that song was a hoax. It was actually one of their worst songs but as a joke Ed decided to write in his diary that it was one of the best songs they had ever done and that the master tapes were stolen. This was done to fool the press because they were following his diary closely. (from ne pas a.v.a.l.e.r.)

If you find a mp3 online entitled "Innocents Civilian", it is fake and most likely a song from the band Palo Alto called "Some Things Must Go This Way."

cool, thats interesting. Thanks, im not a radiohead so i dont care, but its a pretty damn good song

wow, i've never heard that story before, very interesting. not too often that those guys do funny things like that, they always seem to like to lie low as far as media stuff goes!

Not to thread jack...but I am a radiohead fan....and would anyone know the history of the song "true love waits" ? I have a live/acoustic version of it, but I can't find a studio release...the ones I do find, have totally different lyrics !?

no, there's been no offical radiohead studio release of TLW.

Unfortunatley :( one of my favourtie songs. Albeit the one on the live recordings record is amazing :D

SONG INFORMATION
Released: November 2001
Found on: I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings
"True Love Waits" is one of the most requested live songs that Radiohead has in their catalog. The band have occasionally performed this song prior to the release of OK Computer and during the Kid A and Amnesiac tours but have yet to record it in a studio. May be called 'Mortigi Tempo' or 'Awaits'.

When asked about the meaning of the line "I'll dress like your niece," Thom had this to say: "the difference between young and old when people start to dress sensible and act their age. this person is offering not to do that to keep the other. alles klarr?"

According to Thom, the line "On lollipops and crisps" is from an article he read: "I read an article about a child who was between 5-8 yrs old who was left on his/her own for a week in a house when his parents left on hoilday and he lived on lollipops on crisps. True"

"True Love Waits" was finally made available to fans who hadn't already downloaded a bootlegged mp3 of the song in 11/2001, when they released the I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings live album.

True Love Waits
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave
Don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile

Just don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave
Don't leave

Just don't leave
Don't leave

Ah, that really stinks...it is a great song.

Radiohead always surprises me, I didn't start listening to them until last year, and I keep finding awesome songs by them.
