Solsbury Hill (Live Version)

In the style of

Peter Gabriel

Lyrics

climbin' up on
solsbury hill
i could see
the city light

a wind was blowin'
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
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
yeah back home
oh back home
oh darlin' 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
though my life
was in a rut
till i thought of
what i'd say
a-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

son he said
grab your things
i've come to
take you home
he'll bring me home
little birdie
we're goin'

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 silhouette
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 show 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
little birdie home
little birdie home
little birdie home

ooh na na na na home
ooh na na nee na nee
home home home home
home home home
hey little bird home

little birdie
home home home home
home home home
hey little bird home

mm na nee na nee na na
home home home home
home home home
hey little bird home
oh home
