Pete Atkin (& Clive James) - The Last Hill That Shows You All The Valley video free download

On the last hill that shows you all the valley

Look back to see what little's to be seen

Burned books left over from the rally

A worker-priest left bleeding in the alley

And realise this place was never green

On the last hill that shows you all your travel

Look back to see your tepees disappear

A team of army dump-trucks full of gravel

Comes to fill the graves and tamp them level

The buffalo will not return this year

On the last hill that brands you as a dreamer

Look back to see the dreams were always true

The Persians went ashore at Iwo Jima

Christ was in the gold mines at Kolyma

Denounced because his mother was a Jew

On the last hill that shows you all the battle

Look back to everywhere you cried for joy

The killer-dogs run down your barren cattle

Your kid Cassandra walks collecting metal

And you'll see when those rows of dust-clouds settle

There are helicopters on the walls of Troy
