Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
Back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
They've come to take me home."

Elton John

As always, the additions to the original tracks are so seamlessly and sensitively added, they sound like they were always meant to be there. Interestingly, back before he became one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the 70s and 80s, Elton had a side-hustle appearing on ‘Top Of The Tops’ covers albums here in the UK, and they alway gave him the reggae numbers to sing so this is kind of full circle.

! Steal Your Dub !
by Black Market & Wise Owl, Feat. Sam Small
supported by 8 fans who also own “Solsbury Hill”
Behind the curve a bit with recent releases. But can't stop playing this one. Reverent treatment of some classic Dead tracks. would never have thought this would work, but now clamouring for more dub versions of other jam bands music. Or (dare I dream) The Band in Dub
