“On Melancholy Hill” is about the not so good side of consumerism. Like much of the album, it criticizes society, this time through the paradoxes of displaying an upbeat, pop-infused sound.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: 2-D]
Up on Melancholy Hill, there's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream
Where you can't get what you want, but you can get me
So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me
When you're close to me
[Verse 2: 2-D]
So call in the submarines, 'round the world we'll go
Does anybody know her?
If we're looking out on the day of another dream?
If you can't get what you want, then you come with me
Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits the manatee, love
Just looking out for the day when you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me...
[Instrumental Outro]

“The melancholy hill – it’s that feeling, that place, that you get in your soul sometimes, like someone’s let your tyres down. It’s nice to break up the album with something a little lighter. It’s good to have something that’s a genuine pop moment on every album. And this is one of those.” – band me...
