The Hill

It all came crashing down around us

Someone had to fire the first shot

He wasn’t happy

You killed him, that’s all wrong

The first shot is always a warning, it’s war etiquette

So strange, mother would have loved him, he had manners

God, she would say, you eat like an animal, use your knife and fork

Football mum, need to rush, big game today, come and watch us, it’s life and death

They wanted our piece of the hill

We wanted their piece of the hill

Rush, rush, take the hill, how many bullets can you kill

He wants to talk to them, Mr etiquette

You would be proud of him mum

So Polite

They shot him like a dog

Rush, rush, take the hill, how many bullets can you kill

We killed them all

It’s now our hill

Did you see me, mum, did you see me score

Were you too busy with your other son..
