Solsbury Hill

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom boom boom

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
To keeping silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

[Verse 4: Andy Bell]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart was going boom boom boom

[Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

[Interlude]

[Verse 5: Andy Bell]
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free

[Verse 6: Andy Bell]
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

[Pre-Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
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

[Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

[Outro: Ann-Marie Gilkes & Emma Whittle]
"Son," he said
Whoaa
Whooa
"Son," he said
"Son," he said
Whooa
Ooh
"Son,"
Ooh, yeah
"Son," he said
