Sunset Hill |
| Everything to decide |
| It’s time I came up with some answers before I can carry on |
| It’s time I made my mind up before we can go along |
| And I thought it was so simple |
| And I knew that it could be so fine |
| I know that the places that everything comes |
| Rose beds scattered across the lawn |
| Like the squares at Waterloo |
| With the bayonets of thorns repelling |
| Small children in search of lost tennis balls |
| Seeing everything and giving their all |
| I used to be scared of heights |
| I used to get dizzy |
| I never felt safe with my feet on the ground |
| They said that up there the air would be clearer |
| They said more space and more room to breathe |
| Everything to the side |
| I knew that something would happen |
| It’s better off than being alive |
| I knew the standards decline |
| I knew that we had to decide |
| All the places that all we’d ever seen |
| And the place that we thought about |
| And the road that you travel has never been seen |
| Rose beds scattered across the lawn |
| Like the squares of Waterloo |
| With the bayonets of thorns repelling |
| Small children in search of lost tennis balls |
| Giving everything and giving it all |
| I used to think everything was coming up roses |
| But I couldn’t see the weeds that entangled my feet |
| I couldn’t see the trees |
| 'Cos my forest was burning |
| I couldn’t see the bridges the fire in my eyes |
| They sold me the view from the hill |
| They sold me the view from the hill |
| They said that up there the air would be clearer |
| They said more space and more room to breathe |
| I used to be scared of heights |
| I used to get dizzy |
| They sold me the view from the hill |
