High On A Hill Lyrics

High on a hill there's a sweet bird calling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
He sings of a time when the sky was falling,
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

High on a hill and way up yonder,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
Eleventh day was hell, but the heart grows stronger.
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, (round), round.

Over the fields where the water's falling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
There's a bird on a hill and he's sweetly calling,
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

High on a hill there's a sweet bird calling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
He sings of a time when the sky was falling,
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, (ooh), let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, (ooh), let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.

And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.

And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

I think it's about Peak Oil, and the nuclear wars which will result as nations increasingly fight over depleting energy resources. On the other hand, I could be barking up the wrong tree...
