Stupid Car is a Radiohead song only available on Drill, the first major release of the band's.

History[]

Stupid Car was inspired by a car crash that Thom Yorke and his girlfriend were in which caused him to have a fear of vehicles. It also inspired other songs like Killer Cars and Airbag. The song itself is very slow, almost a ballad.

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
I find it hard
To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
'Cause I never get that far

[Chorus]
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gears
I cannot see the road

[Verse 2]
You got concrete eyes
And I cannot see your face
And I failed in life
'Cause you crushed me with your hands

[Chorus]
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gears
I cannot see the road
