This is the song that never made it to OK Computer. According to Radiohead, they don’t want the song to be as well-known and overplayed as Creep.
This song would be rerecorded as a much more restrained version of its 90′s counterpart for their 20th anniversary rerelease "OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017“

“If that song had been on that album, it would've taken us to a different place, and probably we'd have sold a lot more records—if we'd done it right. And everyone was saying this. And I think we subconsciously killed it. If OK Computer had been like a Jagged Little Pill, it would've killed us. But "Lift" had this magic about it. But when we got to the studio and did it, it felt like having a gun to your head. There was so much pressure.”
