Clare Short famously spoke too soon, with her "reckless" comments about Tony Blair. "And maybe you'll/be president/but know right from wrong" is maybe an obvious dig at Dubya, or maybe just all presidents in general... The Ark reference: The world is evil and will be purged by flooding, something alluded to in the limited edition Kid A thick card kiddie's book and its list of global ice melt. Obviously he'd prefer his kids be spared from this evil planet. |

http://www.asis.com/~bbb/piedigest1.html Second Clare Short (UK cabinet minister) reference on the album. Just Desserts, who are affilliated with the Biotic Baking Brigade threw a special custard pie at her. The first reference to her is obviously "I spoke too soon" in Sail to the Moon for her statements that Tony Blair was "Reckless". |

After seeing some footage courtesy of Al Jazeera of an Iraqi child with her skull broken open and empty, I believe Thom Yorke is illustrating what it must be like to be caught in an airstrike, and the song title must be describing what may happen to the contents of your head in that event. |

| Radiohead – Pyramid Song Lyrics

Firstly, the song is obviously a reference to the mysterious drowning of Jeff Buckley in Memphis, Tennessee in 1997. "Jumped into the river, what did I see?" In common with its Egpytian namesake, the city contains a Pyramid. It doesn't explicitly suggest suicide. |
