Song · The Bends era (1994–96)
Bishop's Robes
Recorded in the same week as “Lucky”, about school, with the solo played by the singer.
sep 1995
the other song from that week
It was cut in early September 1995, in the same run of sessions that produced “Lucky”, which means it belongs to the week that decided what OK Computer would sound like and who would produce it. Yorke plays the guitar solo.
The words come from his schooldays. He has denied that they are aimed at one particular person while pointing at an adversarial authority figure from that time as the source, which is about as close as he has come to naming anybody.
It went out as a B-side on the “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” single in January 1996.
1995–2000
twenty-two nights
First played in Glasgow on 31 October 1995, and revived briefly on the OK Computer tours.
