_____________________________________ / Radiohead / I think this song is about Bush and / Sail To The Moon. / Radiohead's critical view on him. /(Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.) / "Sail to the moon" could be a metaphor / Hail To The Thief. / for Bush misguiding humanity into a /____________________________________/ third world war. I've also heard that this song could be directly dedicated to his son, Noah, and for them to find a safer place to live (hence "in the flood you'll build an Ark). Generally I think the album title "Hail to the Thief" refers to Bush as the thief. Al Gore won more votes in total, but because of the election score system he didn't win the post - just like winning more balls but still losing the tennis-match – obviously, this is a bit more serious!
