Guest katie Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 it's amazing, give it a try and report back if ye have the effortharrowden hillsong and videoDon't walk the plank like I did You will be dispensed with When you've become inconvenient In the harrowdown hill Where you went 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 cant 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 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 cant do anything about it We think the same things at the same time There are too many of us So you can't count 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest +*Michelle*+ Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I love Thom yorke to bits, really I do, however....I don't like this one, its a bit dull for my liking, also I find it has too many words. Maybe I'll give it a few more listens and see if there's something I like but so far, gotta say no. Fans tend to like EVERY single song the band they like makes, I think its ridiculous if you ask me. Ah well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Oujamaflip Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thom Yorke is a fantastic vocalist and lyricist in my opinion. His work with Radiohead is just superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think it's a great song. The whole album is great. There are better songs on "The Eraser" though, so I'm a bit confused as to why he chose to release this one as a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bax Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The Eraser is a great album. Hell, anything Thom does is groundbreaking. Can't wait for the new Radiohead. Hopefully it will be out next year and the new songs I heard at Bonnaroo were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slashs_servant Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Did I fall or was I pushed? Did I fall or was I pushed? And where's the blood? And where's the blood?This song is so haunting now. There was an interview on the radio with thom yorke and he explained the inspiration for the song. Its about an employee of the ministry of defence in the uk. He was outspoken, and claimed that all the arguments for invading iraq(weapons of mass destruction) were fabricated and there was no evidence to base them on. He was found dead on harrowdown hill shortly after. Its very spooky and the lyrics are very powerful, i find it hard to listen to it now.There was a big coverup with his death, they said he commited suicide, but it was impossible to kill yourself with a blunt knife, and cause that much blood loss etc. Alot of flaws in the report. Did i fall or was i pushed, and wheres the blood ? Beautiful, thom is a genius, and this song has taken on a completely new dimension for me.

Guest katie Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 yeah, david kelly was, i think, murderedgives the song extra beauty, which is why i reckon it's best on the album (next tpo the eraser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
