True Love Waits

"True Love Waits" is the closing track of Radiohead's ninth LP, A Moon Shaped Pool. It was previously released on the live album I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings in 2001. Prior to this release, it was one of the most requested live songs in the band's catalog, performed on occasion prior to the release of OK Computer and during the Kid A and Amnesiac tours. 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 and crisps. True"

[Verse 1] I'll drown my beliefs To have your babies I'll dress like your niece And wash your swollen feet [Chorus] Just don't leave Don't leave [Verse 2] I'm not living I'm just killing time Your tiny hands Your crazy kitten smile [Chorus] Just don't leave Don't leave [Verse 3] And true love waits In haunted attics And true love lives On lollipops and crisps [Chorus] Just don't leave Don't leave
