Out of my sight
Out of my mind
Out of my sight
Out of what's coming
Out of my sight
Out of my sight
Out of my sight
Couldn't move a muscle
Couldn't get the breath in
Couldn't see the face when
Didn't wanna listen
Couldn't scratch your door down
Couldn't wave a white flag
Didn't see it coming
There has to be a way out
There's another way out
There's another way out
As the camera pulls into a singularity
Rings on his fingers
Bells on his toes, but
Didn't see it coming
Waving a white flag
You're somebody else when you're down
You're somebody's face in the moon
You're somebody else left behind
Out of my mind
Out of my sight
Out of what's coming
Out of my sight
Out of my sight
Out of my sight
Couldn't move a muscle
Couldn't get the breath in
Couldn't see the face when
Didn't wanna listen
Couldn't scratch your door down
Couldn't wave a white flag
Didn't see it coming
There has to be a way out
There's another way out
There's another way out
As the camera pulls into a singularity
Rings on his fingers
Bells on his toes, but
Didn't see it coming
Waving a white flag
You're somebody else when you're down
You're somebody's face in the moon
You're somebody else left behind

Bill Wah Gwan! This song is a tough listen

"Yorke’s principal justification for objecting to BDS was Greenwood’s relationship with Sharona Katan: ‘The person who knows most about these things is Jonny. He has both Palestinian and Israeli friends and a wife who’s an Arab Jew.’ By invoking Katan as a moral authority on the issue Yorke hints that Radiohead, rather than maintaining a neutral stance, have personal and political sympathies that align with the Zionist project, given Katan’s own statements.
Katan’s X/Twitter feed since October 7, 2023 has been full of Israeli warmongering and genocidal propaganda, from the debunked allegations of mass rape and beheaded babies to the smear campaign against UNWRA. Her unabashed support for the Zionist project, Islamophobia and equation of Palestinians with terrorists has, however, been visible on her feed since 2017 – long before the current escalation, and just as Radiohead came out against BDS.
There is a certain bitter irony in discovering that Greenwood and Katan have their own olive oil company – among Radiohead’s many side projects and extensive merchandising (see also: china teapots, Christmas baubles, cross-stitch sets and endless t-shirts). Eponomously titled Greenwood, a 250ml bottle costs a mere €40. In early 2024, Greenwood and Katan publicly lamented this year’s small harvest. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have increasingly targeted Palestine’s ancestral olive trees in Gaza and the West Bank over the last eight months."
