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 up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gorillaz/on_melancholy_hill.html ]
So call in the submarine
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me
Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
I reckon its a song about some dude, singing to his girlfreind, but she dont want to b with him but he realy likes her, its sad but has a happy ending. Im probably totally wrong, but thats the idea i get from the song :)
Ok i may be wrong but i think this song is about someone who really likes to be with someone (his girlfriend or something) and he's trying to get away to meloly hill with her it must be nice. Like he's really happy to be with her
