Solsbury Hill Composer(s): Peter Gabriel First release by: Peter Gabriel - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information Just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom Son he sad, grab your things Ive come to take you home To keepin silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho my life was in a rut Till I thought of what Id say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom. Hey he said, grab your things Ive come to take you home Hey, back home When illusion spins her net Im never where I want to be And liberty, she pirouettes When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I dont need her replacement Ill tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom Hey I said You cant keep my things Theyve come to take me home
