| Paul McCartney – The Fool On The Hill Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It isn't Jesus, it isn't MLK. "Day after day, alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see he’s just a fool And he never gives an answer." No one wants to be accociated with this strange fool, with his silly ideas. I'm not sure what 'he never gives an answer' means. "But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round." This shows his intelligence. He sees the sun going down, but the eyes in his head (his mind's eye) sees the world spinning 'round. The sun does not, in fact 'go down' but it appears to. In reality, the world is turning us away from the sun. "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." His head is in the clouds, dealing with things far above the rest, well on the way to an epiphany of some sort. 'A man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud' means he has many things to say, and he expresses them all. Nobody really hears what he is saying, even if they listen. He doesn't really notice that nobody understands him, because it is so very clear to him. How could it not be so obvious to everyone else. "And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings." Nobody really likes him. He doesn't do anything fun. He just sits on the hill and watches the sun. And thinks. He never shows his feelings, because really, who would care? To them, he is just the fool on the hill. "He never listens to them, He knows that they’re the fools" He doesn't care what they say about him. He knows that they are just fools. They just don't understand him. I often feel like the fool on the hill. |
