Inspired by the weekend's decision to allow custodianship of my country to a bigoted, ignorant, tubthumping ingrate of the first water.
But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning around
‘‘As featured in the unofficial soundtrack to Every Silver Lining has a Cloud. Book available from www.blacklinepress.com’’
At number 55......a classic......no more to be said!
Enjoy!

"Now that's Paul. Another good lyric. Shows he's capable of writing complete songs." John Lennon A bit condescending of John, but we also think it is a great song and great lyrics. "The Fool On The Hill was mine and I think I was writing about someone like Maharishi. His detractors called him a fool. Because of his giggle he wasn't taken too seriously. It was this idea of a fool on the hill, a guru in a cave, I was attracted to." Paul McCartney In any case, it´s April´s Fool´s Day!!!!!!!!
My second favorite Beatles song.
