Stop Whispering And the wise men say "I don't want to hear your voice." And the thin men say "I don't want to hear your voice." And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be. And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do. Stop whispering, start shouting, stop whispering, start shouting. And my mother say "We spit on your son some more." And the buildings say "We spit on your face some more." And the feeling is that there's something wrong, 'cause I can't find the words, and I can't find the songs. Stop whispering, start shouting, stop whispering, start shouting. Dear Sir, I have a complaint. Dear Sir, I have a complaint, can't remember what it is, doesn't matter anyway. Doesn't matter anyway.

Originally Released: February 1993 Found on: Pablo Honey Alternative version: Demo Version, On a Friday Demo Tape 1 & US Version, Stop Whispering Single, Itch Tour EP (Japan) Written as a tribute to the Pixies, an important influence on Radiohead at this time, "Stop Whispering" clinched the band's relationship with the management team of Hufford and Edge. Chris Sheldon remixed it for a United States release; that version features strings and has a slower tempo. The best version of this song, however, is the live one. Thom adds a few lyrics to the ending.
