   / 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.
