'Planet Xerox' was this song's original title, but because Xerox was a copyrighted name, Radiohead changed it to 'Planet Telex.'

The only song written in the studio during The Bends sessions, it was recorded one night when the band returned to the studio after drinking a lot of wine. Thom did the vocals lying down, completely drunk.

A track very different in how it sounds, to the rest of the album. This is one of those songs that you either really love, or think is okay. It displays perfectly how Radiohead started to use guitars more subtly to create music than simply for noise to accompany the sound of the vocals. The lyrics seem to tell the story of a voice in your head, which constantly reminds you that no matter what you do, it isn't going to work. 'You can force it, but it will not come', 'Everything is broken' etc.

This is the most frequent remixed song in Radiohead's roster. Two remixes feature on the High And Dry singles CD1 & CD2 respectively.
