Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, (1)____________________ every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've (2)________ to take you home"

To keep in silence, I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water (3)________ wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went (4)________ day to day
Though my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked (5)__________ out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab (6)________ things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, back home

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouette
Who close (7)__________ eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I (8)________ show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
