You And Whose Army? - Radiohead

Slow build to epic finish. Pure bliss and the words are prescient.



Originally, it was about the voices in my head that were driving me ‘round the bend – to be honest (bursts out laughing). And then, once I came up with that “You And Whose Army” phrase, I was able to stick other ideas on there and Blair emerged as the song’s real subject matter. The song’s ultimately about someone who is elected into power by people and who then blatantly betrays them – just like Blair did. At the same time, I think he couldn’t help betraying this country. I think the man’s a fool. He’s just a product of his time, like any important public figure. - Thom Yorke
