about

The title track is named after an iron age burial mound I used to drive past doing my job - at that time delivering books to schools. I would go and have my lunch sitting on top of it and gaze at the Gloucestershire countryside, reflecting and ruminating and, occasionally, coming up with tunes. It had a healing effect on me and somehow I ended up writing this paean to it.

lyrics

If you're feeling lonely there's a place where you can go
You don't need a ticket all you need to do is know
That it is not very far and you can find your star or catch your dream
Cos things are not as they seem up at Solomon's Tump

Up at Solomon's Tump
Up at Solomon's Tump yeah!
Up at Solomon's Tump
Everything's alright
It's out of sight up at Solomon's Tump!

Everyone is welcome, you can welcome everyone
Find a deeper meaning or just go there to have fun
Cos it is not very far and you can find your star or catch your dream
Cos things are not as they seem up at Solomon's Tump

Up at Solomon's Tump
Up at Solomon's Tump yeah!
Up at Solomon's Tump
Everything's alright
It's out of sight up at Solomon's Tump!

You can see forever in the day and in the night
You can see your problems and your problems look alright
Cos it is not very far and you can find your star or catch your dream
Cos things are not as they seem up at Solomon's Tump

Up at Solomon's Tump
Up at Solomon's Tump yeah!
Up at Solomon's Tump
Everything's alright
It's out of sight up at Solomon's Tump!
