"No Surprises" Jonny experiments with making the guitar sound like a bell. And then they put a bell sound over it. And then the bell and guitar interchange. It is deeply "pretty"... and then Thom writes the most sarcastic lyric, which subverts it. Takes all that brightness and makes it deeply dark.

You cannot deny the pretty and you cannot deny the ugly. It's something that runs all through OK Computer.
