Solsbury Hill (Live) [Athens 1987]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] I did not believe the information I just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home" Your bed at home, your bed at home [Verse 2] To keep in 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 'Til I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut [Chorus 2] I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home" Your bed at home, your bed at home Your bed at home [Verse 3] When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be Liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me [Chorus 3] Today I don't need a replacement I'll show them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "Keep my things, they've come to take me home" Back home, you send me home Said home, hey Back home Said home, hey, you're home Hey, hey, home Said home, I'm going home Wanna be at home I'm going home Said home, said ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho- I'm going home I said ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho- I'm going home I said ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho- I will be home I said ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho- I'm going home Oh, hey! [Outro] "Ευχαριστώ."
