The Fool on the Hill

Many Beatles' songs had vast poetic value but none feel more autobiographical that this one from 1967, Magical Mystery Tour later released on a greatest hits linked below...

The 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 answer

But the fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning round

Well on the way, head in a cloud

The man of a thousand voices

Talking perfectly loud

But nobody ever hears him

Or the sound he appears to make

And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning round

And nobody seems to like him

They can tell what he wants to do

And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning round

Ohh oh-oh-oh-oh ohh-oh-oh

Round and round and round and round and round

He never listens to them

He knows that they're the fool

They don't like him

The fool on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning round

Ohhhh

Round and round and round and round and

Ohhhh
