A peine les ont-ils déposés sur les planches, Que ces rois de l'azur, maladroits et honteux, Laissent piteusement leurs grandes ailes blanches Comme des avirons traîner à côté d'eux. Ce voyageur ailé, comme il est gauche et veule! Lui, naguère si beau, qu'il est comique et laid! L'un agace son bec avec un brûle-gueule, L'autre mime, en boitant, l'infirme qui volait! Le Poète est semblable au prince des nuées Qui hante la tempête et se rit de l'archer; Exilé sur le sol au milieu des huées, Ses ailes de géant l'empêchent de marcher. I asked Paul... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/10/07 The song is about President Lyndon Johnson in 1967. The "Hill" is Washington D.C....etc...etc... And the point is? | Reviewer: Ferndale Eagle | 10/7/07 Look, does it matter what it means? NO! Paul wrote something that had meaning at a point in his life or it didn't. Words and music stem from the heart. Everything is realitive to the writer. If it fits in our lives fine, we tend to make things fit. The truth is he wrote it for himself. The fool | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/30/07 This reminds me of a study I read on Psalm 14's opening line: "The fool hath said in his heart, "there is no God."" The key word is "fool": It has lost it's impact in this day and age, but it used to be the worst insult you could hurl at someone without resorting to expletives. Behind it is the Hebrew word "Lbn", which transliterates to "nabal", and that in turn comes from the proper name Nabal. Nabal was scornful of David's emissaries and later died of dread when he realized he was doomed to death at David's hand for his actions. His name became a byword for a morally deficient person who is incapable of perceiving the spiritual dimension in life. This may also relate to the idea of a city on a hill. The spiritual often believe their city is atop everything else. Therefore, whoever the fool is believes that he is in this fine city above everything else, however the sun is going down, the world keeps turning, and no one is listening to his pontification's from atop the hill. The fool is a real person | Reviewer: Todd | 9/1/07 The "fool on the hill" is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi according to Paul and since he wrote the song I'll believe him. The Fool on the Hill | Reviewer: Natalie | 8/12/07 OK its about idiot savants. Its a great song and Paul wrote it about savants because people think they're stupid but they're really talented at something, like music or memorization. Thats what its about and its written down as so in the book A Hard Days Write. Its truely a lovely song, one of my favorites. What I took from this song | Reviewer: Laura | 8/7/07 I don't really know why but the first time I heard this song (only a few years ago) it made me think of Bush, but seeing the lyrics written down, I'm not so sure anymore. not made for TV | Reviewer: nick | 8/2/07 That's right, Witek. The fool is the artist who is out on a mountaintop, or a sailboat, or a smoke-break, and sees the sun going down, while everyone else is inside watching TV. Wot I Fink | Reviewer: Witek | 7/19/07 I like to think it's about people who think outside the box. Non-conformers. People who know the truth but are dismissed as fools because their beliefs go against the consensus train of thought. Of course it could just be about a psychopathic misanthropist on a hill who doesn't want to join in the fun. Open to interpretation I guess.
