Harrowdown Hill, fantastic song, off his new album The Eraser, is apparently about someone who mysteriously died after saying that the weapons of mass destruction in iraq were fabricated. "Dont ask me ask the ministry" "Did i fall or was i pushed?" are two qoutes of many which back this. Is this really Thom accusing the govt of covering up a death? or is the death made up by Thom as some sort of weird metaphor? I just didnt hear that someone had died who had said this...

I bet Thom is accusing the government or, at the very least, acknowledging the suspicious nature of the whole thing.

Remember, "Hail to the Thief" is named in honor of George W. Bush.
