One of the songs demoed by the band in a couple of tapes from 1990, when they were still called On a Friday, it was later reworked and released as a B-side from the time of The Bends. “How Can You Be sure?” is a primarily acoustic tune featuring the sentimentality typical of Radiohead at the time.

[Verse 1]
Seen all the good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
[Chorus]
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing?
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
[Verse 2]
If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
[Chorus]
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing?
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you, I don't want you)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you, I don't want you)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you, I don't want you)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you, I don't want you)
[Outro]
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
