[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom boom boom

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

[Verse 5: Andy Bell]
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
[Verse 6: Andy Bell]
Watched by empty silhouettes (Silhouettes)
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

[Pre-Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart was going boom boom boom

[Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"

[Outro]
"Son," he said
Whoaa! Ooh
Whooa
"Son," he said
"Son," he said
Whooa
Ooh
"Son," he said
Whooho Whoah
"Son," he said
