The point is that the sentiment in Creep is laid on too thick for anyone to really take seriously. Song's about self-pity can be depressing...depending on who they're coming from and how it's presented...but I'd rarely call them "sad" songs...more "pitiful" than anything.

Are you saying Thom Yorke only started taking song-writing seriously after Pablo Honey? I think he takes Creep more seriously than YOU think he does. And it's not laid on too thick for me... it perfectly captures the emotions someone feels when they think they're inadequate in a woman's (and the world's) eyes, it doesn't make anything up.
