Bishop's Robes
Dressed in Bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In Bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
Children taught to kill
To tear themselves to bits
on playing fields
Dressed in Bishop's robes
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
A quiet moody song and a late Bends b-side which leans more towards 'ok computer' influences. This song is about the band's old headmaster at school who was not a very nice man apparently. There's alot of info about this in some of the Radiohead books like 'From a Great Height' etc. But it's not as bad a song as some people make out and I quite like it.
