The Fool On The Hill

(album: Local Gentry - 1968)

Day after day, alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him

The can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices

Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

But nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Oh round, round, round, round, round
He never listens to them
He know that they're the fool
And they don't like him

The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
