Текст песни Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill

___________________
   / 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 plank like I did
  You will be dispensed with
  When you've become inconvenient
  Up on harrowdown hill
  There where you used to go to school
  That's where I am
  That's where I'm lying down

  Did I fall or was I pushed?
  Did I fall or was I pushed?
  And where's the blood?
  And where's the blood?

  I'm coming home, I'm coming home
  To make it all right, so dry your eyes

  We think the same things at the same time
  We just can't do anything about it
  We think the same things at the same time
  We just can't do anything about it

  So don't ask me, ask the ministry
  Don't ask me, ask the ministry

  We think the same things at the same time
  There are so many of us so you can't count
  We think the same things at the same time
  There are too many of us so you can't count

  Can you see me when I'm running?
  Can you see me when I'm running?
  Away from them
  Away from them

  I can't take their pressure
  No one cares if you live or die
  They just want me gone
  They want me gone

  I'm coming home, I'm coming home
  To make it all right, so dry your eyes
  We think the same things at the same time
  We just can't do anything about it

  We think the same things at the same time
  There are too many of us so you can't
  There are too many of us so you can't count

  Then I was led into a backroom at Harrowdown Hill
  Then I was led into the back at Harrowdown Hill
  It was a slippery, slippery, slippery slope
  It was a slippery, slippery, slippery slope
  I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
  I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
  I feel me...
