	Paul's placing "Pretty Little Head" and "Move Over Busker" as back-to-back tracks is one of the coolest strokes in his career. This is a sound which is like no other in McCartney's long career, a tribal-sounding (but not quite serious) tribute to the work of men through the centuries to clear the land, develop trade, and establish a mode of behavior...only to give way to the following track to show the depths to which we men have descended!! These two tracks alone establish Press to Play as a worthwhile CD. I cannot recall Paul McCartney ever more ironically on-target...his ol buddy John would have liked this, I believe (if Yoko had let him).	Bruce Beatlefan	November 21, 2006

Lyrics

Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen come down from the lava,
Forging across the mighty river flow, oh-oh.
Always forever,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.

Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.

Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen bring garments, spices,
Carrying trinkets, silk and precious stones, oh-oh.
Exotic legends,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.

Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen are sworn to allegiance,
Living a life of silent dignity, oh-oh.
For your protection,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.

Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.
Ursa major.

Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.
Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.
Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.
Ursa major, ursa minor.

Ursa major, ursa minor.

The hillmen,
Living in higher reaches.

Ursa major, ursa minor.
