Editing Paranoid Android (section)

=== Lyrics ===
"Paranoid Android" is categorised by three distinct moods written in what Yorke referred to as three different states of mind.<ref name="Randall150s" /> The lyrics tie in with a number of themes common in ''OK Computer'', including insanity, violence, slogans, and political objection to capitalism.<ref>Footman, 2007. pp. 144–150.</ref> Yorke's lyrics were based on an unpleasant experience at a Los Angeles bar during which he was surrounded by strangers who were high on cocaine. Yorke was frightened by a woman who became violent after someone spilled a drink on her. He characterised the woman as "inhuman", and said "There was a look in this woman's eyes that I'd never seen before anywhere.&nbsp;... Couldn't sleep that night because of it." The woman inspired the line "kicking squealing [[Gucci]] little piggy" in the song's second section.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=October 1997 |title=Death Is All Around&nbsp;... |url=http://www.followmearound.com/presscuttings.php?year=1997&cutting=46 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070711130842/http://www.followmearound.com/presscuttings.php?year=1997&cutting=46 |archive-date=11 July 2007 |access-date=20 July 2024 |magazine=[[Q (magazine)|Q]]}}</ref> Yorke, referring to the line "With your opinion, which is of no consequence at all", said that "Again, that's just a joke. It's actually the other way around&nbsp;– it's actually ''my'' opinion that is of no consequence at all."<ref name="Jam">{{cite magazine |last=Sakamoto |first=John |date=2 June 1997 |title=Radiohead talk about their new video |url=http://www.greenplastic.com/coldstorage/articles/jam6297.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061109073538/http://www.greenplastic.com/coldstorage/articles/jam6297.html |archive-date=9 November 2006 |access-date=20 October 2008 |magazine=[[Jam!]]}}</ref>
