PUBLISHED:  Nov 10, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
Song - Bishop's Robes
Artist - Radiohead
Album - No Surprises/Running from Demons

Bishop's Robes refers to Yorke's experience of cruelty at school. Though he claims that he suffered no physical punishment as a schoolboy, violence was felt in ghastly mind-games, and in the teacher's cruelty: hence the line "bastard headmaster".
Bishop's Robes is also included on the Street Spirit (Fade Out) CD#1 single.

Lyrics:
Dressed in bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back

Children taught to kill, to tear themselves to bits
On playing fields
Dressed in bishop's robes
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back...
