I am the only one that got through
The others died where ever they fell
It was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
I’ve seen devils coming up from the ground
I’ve seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical but they will never learn

Have you downloaded it?
I listened to the 30 second clip last night. It didn’t give much away as to how the song would pan out.
In the middle of a global recession and neverending pointless wars, along come Radiohead to cheer us all up. Thank goodness you’re back Thom. How we (well Q Magazine at least) have missed you!
I take it back a bit. Didn’t hit the link or ken who Harry Patch was until after I posted.
Given the context, this is actually a nice, touching piece of work from Thom. Well done son.
