A cover of Glenn Cambell's hit 'Rhinestone Cowboy', I have to say I'm impressed with Radiohead. Anyone who has heard the original, will know it is one of the most cringeworthy, awful piece of countrified cowboy crap
that you will ever have the misfortune to hear. But Radiohead make it listenable. It's still not the track you're going to have on repeat day after day. But it's not going to make you consider suicide either. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh.. But being nice isn't
as much fun :) |

I've been walking these streets so long Singing the same old song I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustle's the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain There's been a load of compromising On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse In a star spangled rodeo Like a rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers coming over the phone Well I really don't mind the rain And a smile can hide all the pain But you're down when you're riding the train That's taking the long way And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe There'll be a load of compromising On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo Rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers coming over the phone Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo Like a rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know Like a rhinestone cowboy |
