verse

Up on Melancholy Hill
Sulla Collina della Malinconia
There′s a plastic tree
C'è un albero di plastica,
Are you here with me?
Sei qui con me?
Just looking out on the day
Semplicemente affacciandosi sull'alba
Of another dream
Di un altro sogno
Well you can't get what you want
Beh, non puoi avere quello che vuoi
But you can get me
Ma puoi avere me.
So let′s set out to sea, love
Quindi salpiamo verso il mare, amore
'Cause you are my medicine
Perché tu sei la mia medicina
When you're close to me
In cui sarai vicina a me
When you′re close to me
In cui sarai vicina a me
So call in the submarines
Quindi chiama tutti i sottomarini
′Round the world we'll go
Gireremo il mondo.
Does anybody know, love
Chi sa, amore
If we′re looking out on the day
Se ci stiamo affacciando sull'alba
Of another dream?
Di un altro sogno

pre-chorus

If you can't get what you want
Se non puoi avere quello che vuoi,
Then come with me
Allora vieni con me.

bridge

Sits a manatee
Siede un lamantino
Just looking out for the day
Semplicemente aspettando il giorno
When you′re close to me
In cui sarai vicina a me
When you're close to me
In cui sarai vicina a me

outro

When you′re close to me
In cui sarai vicina a me
