  • 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
    That's where I am 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 alright, 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 so 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 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 alright, 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 Writer/s: Thomas Edward Yorke
