1
You sit and think that everything is coming up roses
2
But you can't see the weeds that entangle your feet
3
You can't see the wood for the trees 'cause the forest is burning
4
And you say it's the smoke in your eyes that's making you cry
5
They sold you the view from a hill
6
They told you that the view from the hill would be
7
Further than you have ever seen before
8
They sold you a view from a hill
9
They sold you a view from a hill
10
You were a dancer and a chancer, a poet and a fool
11
To the royalty of mayhem you were breaking all the rules
12
Your decadence outstanding, your hopes flying high
13
One eye looking over your shoulder, one eye on the hill
14
You used to say you were scared of heights - you said you got dizzy
15
You said you didn't like your feet being too far off the ground
16
But they said that up there you'd find the air would be clearer
17
Promised you more space to move and more room to breathe
18
They sold you a view from a hill
19
They told you that the view from the hill
20
Is further than you'd ever seen before
21
You were holding out forever - thought they'd never turn your mind
22
Your ideals they were higher than you ever could have climbed
23
We thought they couldn't buy you - that the price would be too high
24
That the riches there on offer they just wouldn't turn your eyes
25
But your conscience it was locked up in the prisons of your schemes
26
Your judgement it was blinded by your visions and your dreams
27
Praying and hoping that the view from the hill
28
Is wider than you've ever seen before
29
For the view from the hill we held our heads so high (smell the roses)
30
All the loved ones that you lied to are strangers left behind
31
All the ones that really mattered well you stood on as you climbed
32
You were holding out forever for your fathers and your peers
33
Holding out for everyone that ever walked in here
34
The edge was inside and you rode it all the way
35
You were playing the games that you learned yesterday
36
Hanging around like a fool with a name
37
You are holding your place for the view, the view from a hill
38
They sold you the view from a hill
39
Look it all for a view from a hill
40
And you find the view's no further than you've seen before
41
They sold you the view from the hill
42
And you stood and took it all for the view from a hill
43
It's simply coming up roses
