Your Stuck in my Head Song of the Day

This morning and for the past few days actually I've been a little nervous about something I have to do this week (something that will probably take me away from a computer until maybe thursday night) and so in an attempt to think positive and try to make myself less nervous I repeated the line from Radiohead's Optimistic " if you try the best you can, the best you can is good enough" it's a mantra thats kinda calmed me down (even though I'm not one that believes in "A"s for Effort) It's actually kinda amazing that after I don't know how many listens of this song over the past oh so many years I still didn't know the lyrics

Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some

You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

I'd really like to help you, man
I'd really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionettes
Floating around on a prison ship

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth


I always thought "This one just came out of the swamp" was "this one just came out a swan" and the echoing close of "Dinosaurs roaming the Earth" was really " the best souls win in the end" I kinda like my lyrics in that second example.
But either way here is Your Stuck in My Head Song of The Day- Optimistic by Radiohead (and this video was surprisingly hard to find)
