About this lyric:
PJ Harvey has released this song to highlight the ongoing detention of the last British resident held inside the US prison at Guantánamo Bay. The track was recorded to help maintain pressure to have the 46-year-old, whose family live in south London, released back to Britain
No water for three days I cannot sleep or stay awake Four months hunger strike Am I dead or am I alive? With metal tubes we are force fed I honestly wish I was dead Strapped in the restraining chair Shaker Aamer, your friend In Camp 5, eleven years Never charged Six years cleared They took away my one note pad And then refused to give it back I can't think straight I write then stop Your friend Shaker Aamer Lost The guards just do what they're told The doctors just do what they're told Like an old car I'm rusting away Your friend Shaker. Guantanamo Bay Don't forget
