about

after the Beatles "Fool on the Hill"

lyrics

Idiot on the Hill

Every night I go out
I pull my coon skin cap and my shirt tails out
setting traps and snares
in the second biggest town in the hemisphere
What am I going to do?
I can’t catch field mice for thinking of you
and I just won’t stand for it now
so I guess I’ll go back and lie down for a while

falling leaves and broken dreams
they’re just grist for the mill
grinding out another stupid song of grief
it’s the idiot on the hill

and every night I come home
I toss my hat into the old wood stove
and when it burst into flames
I light my cigarette and warm my hands
what am I going to do?
I can’t watch TV for thinking of you
and I just won’t stand for it girl
so I guess I’ll go back and lie down for a while

breathing in this stupid stuff
and spinning out of control
the chance of a lifetime is never enough
for the idiot on the hill
the idiot on the hill
