/ Thom Yorke / This song is about David Kelly, a former weapon
/ Harrowdown Hill / inspector in Iraq at the time Saddam Hussein was still
/ The Eraser / in charge and who truly knew about the situation
/__________________/ concerning weapons of mass destruction the government's
official justification for invading Iraq. His evidence
questioned the entire situation as it proved that there of course wasn't any
threat at all. This evidence pulled him through a massive storm of attention
from the medias and put him under an unbearable pressure from his own government
as he now had to stand uagainst his own country all by himself. This unbearable
pressure forced him to take the ultimate consequence. (Some conspiracies say
that he was murdered, but no matter what the government truly knew that this
might be the result of the weight on his shoulders!) The 17th of July Kelly's
body was found in the woods of Harrowdown Hill. He had overdosed himself with
medicine and cut his left wrist with a knife had owned since his youth.
Don't walk the Bmplank like I did
You will Bmbe dispensed with
When Gyou've become inconGvenient
Up on Bmharrowdown hill
There where you Bmused to go to school
That's Gwhere I am
That's where I'm Glying down
Did I Bmfall or was I pushed'
Did I Bmfall or was I pushed'
And Gwhere's the blood'
And Gwhere's the blood'
I'm coming Ahome, I'm coming home
To make it all Aright, so dry your eyes
We think the Gsame things at the same time
We just can't Gdo anything about it
A We think the Asame things at the same time
We just can't Gdo anything about it
G So don't ask Ame, ask the ministry
Don't ask Ame, ask the ministry
We think the Gsame things at the same time
There are so Gmany of us so you can't Emcount
We think the Emsame things at the same time
There are too Gmany of us so you can't count
Can you Bmsee me when I'm running'
Can you Bmsee me when I'm running'
AGway from them
AGway from them
I can't Bmtake their pressure
No one Bmcares if you live or die
They just Gwant me gone
They Gwant me gone
I'm coming Ahome, I'm coming home
To make it all Aright, so dry your eyes
We think the Gsame things at the same time
We just can't Gdo anything about it
Em We think the Emsame things at the same time
There are too Gmany of us so you can't
There are too Gmany of us so you can't Bm6count
Then I was Bmled into a backroom at Harrowdown Hill
Then I was Bmled into the back at Harrowdown Hill
It was a Gslippery, slippery, slippery slope
It was a Aslippery, slippery, slippery slope
I feel me Emslipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me Emslipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me... Bm
