JOHN 1980: 'Now that's Paul.
Another good lyric.
Shows he's capable of writing complete songs.'PAUL circa-1994: ''Fool On The Hill' was mine and I think I was writing about someone like the Maharishi.
His detractors called him a fool.
Because of his giggle he wasn't taken too seriously… I was sitting at the piano at my father's house in Liverpool hitting a D6 chord, and I made up 'Fool On The Hill.''

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answerBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'roundWell on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loudBut nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to noticeBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'roundAnd nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelingsBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round, oh oh oh, 'round 'round 'round 'roundHe never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like himThe fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'roundOh, 'round 'round 'round 'round, oh
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answerBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down

See the world spinning 'roundWell on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loudBut nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to noticeBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'roundAnd nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelingsBut the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round, oh oh oh, 'round 'round 'round 'roundHe never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like himThe fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'roundOh, 'round 'round 'round 'round, oh
