On the release of War Child's Help album the previous September, Radiohead's magnificently moody contribution, Lucky (oddly included on OK Computer), proved to be the stand-out -although the band had been forced to complete the track in an intensive five-hour period to meet the required deadline, after a day spent posing for a War Child camera crew dispatched to film them pretending to record.
'They were waiting for us to record the song, and we were waiting for them to go,' smiles the unnaturally lofty Ed O'Brien, credited on the group's sleeves for supplying 'polite guitar', as opposed to Jonny Greenwood's 'abusive guitar'. Of the video footage depicting casualties of the Bosnian conflict that was subsequently set to the track, Yorke-never one to understate his emotional reactions-simply says, 'It had me in tears'.
