Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill Lyrics






Don't walk the plank like I did
You will be dispensed with
When you've become inconvenient
Up on Harrowdown Hill
Near 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?
Then where's the blood?
Then where's the blood?

But 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

But 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

It was me lead onto the back of Harrowdown Hill
It was me lead onto the back of 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

  1. C.... B....

    Where the old comments at?

  2. K.... B....

    This was probably my favorite song on the whole album! Played it over and over and over...

  3. M.... ....

    I remember this getting premiered on Channel 4 at about 1am. Belter video

  4. M.... M....

    "There are too many of us..." True.

    "Don't walk the plank like I did, or you will be dispensed with, when you've become an inconvenience ".
    Amazingly potent and cutting lyrics, love the artist and song
    But what ever you like to think, if you upset the"state machine" you will pay the price if they value their heads above yours. I can still see that poor man's face as they tried to destroyed his morality and credibility. Sad.

  7. M.... M....

    Kelly was writing a book containing , amongst other things " project coast " and his work on it with another scientist David Holmes who also "killed himself" .
    Coast was a plan to aid the apartied government in s Africa to kill blacks .

    When Kelly was murdered mi5 stole his 40,000 pages of the manuscript .

  14. S.... W....

    I am an ardent "Remainer" and hence part of me wants to instinctively cheer whenever I hear A. Blair or A. Campbell on the radio in the mornings. But... but... but... a larger part of me recoils because of Dr David Kelly. A very distinguished scientist, not a politician or "special adviser". Someone who served his country with honour and integrity. And yet thrown to the lions by Tony and Alastair. He should never be forgotten. And they should burn in hell.

  15. A.... D....

    So this song was about David Kelly's murder?

  16. G.... H....

    Don't walk the plank like I did
    You will be dispensed with
    When you've become
    Inconvenient
    Up on harrowdown hill

    This where I, this where I am lying down
    Did I fall or was I pushed
    Then wheres the blood?
    But 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
    So don't ask me ask the ministry
    We think the same things at the same time
    There are so many of us
    Oh you can't count
    We think the same things at the same time
    There are so many of us
    Oh you can't count
    Can you see me when I'm running
    Can you see me when I'm running
    Away from there
    Away from there
    I can't take the pressure
    No one cares if you live or die
    They just want me gone
    They want me gone
    But 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!
    It was walking to the back down Harrowdown Hill
    It was walking to the back down Harrowdown Hill
    It was a slippery slippery slippery slope

    No words can describe my anger that Campbell and Blair have been rehabilitated in the public arena in the UK. That Campbell could be invited onto a BBC Radio 4 programme tonight to give his opinion. He is perfectly entitled to give his opinion, of course. In my view, to paraphrase Frankie Boyle, it should be given from the dock in The Hague.

  33. s.... n....

    Yep I’m still digging in. Thom... is just...wow...year after year after... I’m still tripping on the last couple of minutes, It makes me horney

  34. T.... T....

    Do you even have justice?

  35. J.... R....

    beggars, you own the liscensing rights.... SURELY you have a higher quality version of this than 144p? literally the lowest quality youtube lets you go?

  36. L.... R....

    Wow I listen to everything and this a first for me...so glad I pressed play <3

  37. I.... R....

    the reason I ran out in front of the horses. it was suicide because I was being abused by paedophiles who were free masons and nobody could or would do anything about it. I told the horses what I was going to do and why

  38. I.... R....

    I've just watched myself being killed at Harrow Hill. I was the kid that got trampled by horses. I'm back in the town where I was born and living near a tree that I was buried under. I've been murdered a few times and moved around a lot . indigo. I seem to have lost the relative time line of events. I've decided not to stay here as it's only a matter of time before I get set up. it's a bit too conservative and twee for me

    it looks like hes referring to flat earth and elitist dominance over over and so called minoriy( dubbed by the one eye matrix) controlling those who dare to oppose them who are controlled with brute force be it active but very fucking passive in this songs case!..i have always truly believed that thom yorke with all of his passion and sublime creativity as a composer and musician never sold out to them with himself and radiohead to the status quo alter ego that musicians have to sell to a mind controlled public through the media...Thom Yorke has always been revolutionary with his music and if you know the truth you can here it and see it though his work. Amen Thome:)!

    "It's the most angry song I've ever written in my life", Thom Yorke told Craig McLean in an interview in The Guardian in June 2006. The content of the song perfectly expresses the anger and despair millions of people in the US and Europe felt when the invasion in Iraq started in March 2003, justified with clear lies by the American and British governments about the 'evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq'. David Kelly was a British government expert and former UN weapons inspector in Iraq who disputed the 'evidence' and told a BBC-reporter. This resulted in a critical BBC-report in May 2003 about the UK government and severe government questioning of David Kelly in July 2003 as the supposed source. He was found dead on Harrowdown Hill two days later.

    P.... S....

    Cuando.thom yorke cae al agua hace referencia a la muerte de David Kelly en el Harrowdown Hill,

    P.... S....

    Thats so wright in the face,like thom york is,but my sense was dito with the explaning of the meaning of this song,but now.......wow......there was literley somone killed,someone who needed the truth just like we ALL!!God bless the journalist and all truthseekers🤲💚🌛☀️🌜🌀⚡🙏

    j.... j....

    +zagyex Yep, Bach is and will forever be the greatest. But tho conistency with which Radiohead manage to innovate modern music, against the tide of MTV crap makes them heroes. The classics would've loved them.

    The best thing the British will be known for in the 21st century is killing doctors for telling the truth and a prime minister who tries to fuck dead pigs

    c.... ....

    +ctanyol and offshore's to avoid tax xD

    c.... ....

    +Jez Darwin This song is about the death of weapons expert David Kelly who knew the justifications for going into Iraq looking for WMDs was BS. His death was ruled a suicide but many believe the British government assassinated him.

    The dead pig fucking is about the British Prime Minister David Cameron. A member of British Parliament said that Cameron stuck his penis into a dead pig's head as part of an initiation for the Piers Gaveston Society when they both were attending Oxford. That person also said that a photograph exist. Cameron has vigorously denied it and the photograph has never been produced.

    Lyrics

    Harrowdown Hill

    Don'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

    N.... ....

    It just won't go away Mr Blair...and this will be your legacy...

    A.... C....

    +mikeisagodd2012 thats cause they had 20 years of the media loving them that it became very fashionable to start to hate them.....but as one journalist quoted a while back, they are the only band that matters, I still think that holds some truth to this day but so many bands have been influenced by them, they can help carry the flag now.

    A.... C....

    +mikeisagodd2012 Welcome to the insider's club Mike. I'm 40 and been doing Radiohead since 1993. Sorry you missed out, but better really late than never. Wow..you got some goodies to study. Sweet.
