___________________ / 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. Bm Don't walk the plank like I did Bm You will be dispensed with G G When you've become inconvenient Bm Up on harrowdown hill Bm There where you used to go to school G That's where I am G That's where I'm lying down Bm Did I fall or was I pushed? Bm Did I fall or was I pushed? G And where's the blood? G And where's the blood? A I'm coming home, I'm coming home A To make it all right, so dry your eyes G We think the same things at the same time G We just can't do anything about it A A We think the same things at the same time G We just can't do anything about it G A So don't ask me, ask the ministry A Don't ask me, ask the ministry G We think the same things at the same time G Em There are so many of us so you can't count Em We think the same things at the same time G There are too many of us so you can't count Bm Can you see me when I'm running? Bm Can you see me when I'm running? G Away from them G Away from them Bm I can't take their pressure Bm No one cares if you live or die G They just want me gone G They want me gone A I'm coming home, I'm coming home A To make it all right, so dry your eyes G We think the same things at the same time G We just can't do anything about it Em Em We think the same things at the same time G There are too many of us so you can't G Bm6 There are too many of us so you can't count Bm Then I was led into a backroom at Harrowdown Hill Bm Then I was led into the back at Harrowdown Hill G It was a slippery, slippery, slippery slope A It was a slippery, slippery, slippery slope Em I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness Em I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness Bm I feel me...
