It's not that cryptic.
A heart that's full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal You were so tired, happy, bring down the government, they don't, they don't"speak for us I'll take the quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent This is my final fit, my final bellyache with No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please

Let me explain the song to you. Tom York decided to make an awful noise with his mouth and a recording studio guy thought it was too funny to not record and show to his beer drinking buddies. After Tom finished he killed himself because his face is so ugly. :p :p The Doc
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

Originally posted by MistaMista Tom Hagen: Yeah, it's kind of the only Radiohead song I like right now, but I really like it. Funny... Radiohead being my favorite band and OK Computer being my favorite album of theirs, No Surprises is probably my least favorite song on the album. But, I think maybe that's just because it was grossly over-played by the media (even by those who didn't like it). Anyways, the song--according to the band--is about a guy who has had enough of the way his life has turned out, and is having relationship problems. There is an alternate, earlier, version of the song that include the lines "He was sick of her excuses / To not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom."
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
