But the Fool on the Hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning ´round.

Day after day alone on a hill

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still

Well on the way, Head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud

Fo

ol!

But nobody wants to know him They can see that he´s just a fool And he never gives an answer...

?

But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice...

He never listens to them He knows that they´re the fool They don´t like him...

But the Fool on the Hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning ´round.

But nobody seems to like him They can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings... #@§£!

But the Fool on the Hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning ´round.

The Fool on the Hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning ´round.

Let’s talk about the Grammar!

Simple Present We use the SIMPLE PRESENT for things that are true in general, or for things that happen sometimes or all the time: I like big cities. You speak very well. Tim works very hard. The earth goes roun the sun.

We use DO and DOES to make the interrogative of Simple Present: Do I work? Does she like popcorn? Do you speak English? Does he play soccer? We use DON'T and DOESN'T to make the negative form of Simple Present: I don't work. She doesn't like popcorn. You don't speak English. He doesn't play soccer.
