Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel Lyrics - Other People's Songs - Erasure

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 

I had to listen had no choice 

I did not believe the information 

Just had to trust imagination 

My heart was going boom boom boom 

"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." 

To keeping 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 

Though my life was in a rut 

'Till I thought of what I'd say 

Which connection I should cut 

I was feeling part of the scenery 

I walked right out of the machinery 

My heart was going boom boom boom 

"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." 

Yeah back home 

When illusion spin her net 

I'm never where I want to be 

And liberty she pirouette 

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 

Photos 

Today I don't need a replacement 

I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant 

My heart was going boom boom boom 

"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
