Lyrics of On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz

verse

Up on Melancholy Hill
There′s a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let′s set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you′re close to me
So call in the submarines
′Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know, love
If we′re looking out on the day
Of another dream?

pre-chorus

If you can't get what you want
Then come with me

verse

Up on Melancholy Hill

bridge

Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you′re close to me
When you're close to me

outro

When you′re close to me
Writer(s): Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett
