Give up the Ghost

Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me

Gather up the lost and sold (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)

Gather up the pitiful (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)

What seems impossible (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)

I think I have had my fill (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)

I think I should give up the ghost (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)
In your arms (Don’t hurt me)

I believe the line to be, “Gather up the Lost & their souls,” based on a line printed in The Universal Sigh newspaper.

I’m pretty sure it’s “Into your arms.”

Sounds like a song of spiritual quest & repentance to me!? Maybe wishful thinking but I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Yorke has found the Lord Jesus: )

I also thought it was “Gather up the lost and their souls” upon the first few listens, but I did see Thom perform with Atoms for Peace, and the verse, “Gather up the lost and sold…” is correct.

Its all about fear, fear of leaving what is the normal…”I think I’ve had my fill”…:”I think I should give up the ghost..” he’s struggling to move past his current state of being, but it absorbs him, he doesnt know what he is without that identity…whatever it is, if normal is working 18 hours a day or drinking 18 hours a day or golfing 18 hours a day… its what is normal and hes not happy with it, he wants to live his dreams…..like we all do,.

Theres so much fear in thins song, I think anyways..

I think there is a lot os spirituality in the last two Radiohead albums, but it is not anything bound to any religion in particular, even though to me it seems that they are contemplating the universalism of some Oriental traditions.

I thought it was “don’t haunt me” rather than hurt me.

I thought he sang ‘Don’t hurt me, don’t haunt me?’
