Radiohead – Fragile Friend lyrics
I've been away for a long while
The holidays made a change
Ooh but the bit of me that you revile
Is diffused in this exchange

I knew you then, you were a good friend
Swapping books and clothes and things
Your incessant smile is marred with sin
But it's strains the happy within

Don't push me fragile friend
Don't let me down
I'd snap hard back at you
And hurt a fragile friend
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, yeah yeah yeah

Your fragile friend is desperate
To learn the tricks of the trade
To catch up fast with all his friends
Who left him on parade

This fragile friend isn't perfect
All the grapes in his mind are going sour
Learning the rules as he plays it
How much his smile has the power

Don't push me fragile friend
Don't let me down
I'd snap hard back at you
And hurt a fragile friend
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, yeah yeah yeah

Don't push me fragile friend
Don't let me down
I'd snap hard back at you
And hurt a fragile friend
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, yeah yeah yeah

    Seems like this song is about a friendship falling apart due to the struggles and issues of one of the friends-the one who is described as fragile. The other friend struggles to come to terms with what has happens and tries not to get angry at the other. However they may Alison be struggling with their own issues.
    Essentially, this is a song about a friend returning from somewhere a different person, seemingly fragile, and their friend struggling with this revelation.
