Karaoké Solsbury Hill Peter Gabriel

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

I could see the city lights

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

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

Hey, don't quit

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 '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 going boom boom boom

Hey, he said grab your things

I've come to take you home

Hey 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

Today I don't need a replacement

I'll tell them what the smile

On my face meant

My heart going boom boom boom

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