Placebo – Running Up That Hill Lyrics
I listen to a slight bit of Placebo but I haven’t heard of this song until a few weeks ago. It’s interesting, though, I think with the songs buildup, he could have expanded it and given the song a bit more “UMPH”.
It’s a good song nonetheless. Of course trying to figure out who exactly this type of song could relate to is rather difficult. I mean the mate could be referring to a lost loved one or he could be singing toward a general emotion.
The songs holds a lot of truth’s with how society works today. One such truth is when he sings: “So much hate for the ones we love…”
But I believe the best part of the song is the very beginning with the Indian-like drum beat which slowly has a fade in with a piano. Great song to relax to and mediate with.
It doesn’t hurt me.
You want to feel, how it feels?
You want to know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?
You want to hear about the deal I’m making.
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
Get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could
You don’t want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I’m tearing you asunder.
There’s a thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me, won’t be unhappy
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could
Come on, baby, come on, come on, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
Come on angel, come on, come on, darling,
Let’s exchange the experience
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
As Always, Here is A Fix.

Hi…you do know that this is a cover of a Kate Bush song, right?
