    For anyone who wants to join
    Transport, motorways and tramlines
    Starting and then stopping
    Taking off and landing
    The emptiest of feelings
    Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles
    When it comes it's so, so, disappointing
    Let down and hanging around
    Crushed like a bug in the ground
    Let down and hanging around
    Shell smashed, juices flowing
    Wings twitch, legs are going
    Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
    One day, I am gonna grow wings
    A chemical reaction
    Hysterical and useless
    Hysterical and
    Let down and hanging around
    Crushed like a bug in the ground
    Let down and hanging around
    Let down
    Let down
    Let down
    You know, you know where you are with
    You know where you are with
    Floor collapsing, falling
    Bouncing back and one day, I am gonna grow wings
    A chemical reaction (you know where you are)
    Hysterical and useless (you know where you are)
    Hysterical and (you know where you are)
    Let down and hanging around
    Crushed like a bug in the ground
    Let down and hanging around

    The majestic beauty of this masterpiece of a song still shines through in this moving choir version. It's hard to listen to Let Down sometimes because it keeps giving me goosebumps and a tear in my eye still after all these years since it was released. Ok Computer remains my all time favorite album and Exit Music + Let Down the peak moment on that album. If I had to pick one song from all the Radiohead masterpieces, Let Down would be the one.
