Nah, Running Up That Hill isn't about someone who lives on a hill.
I would say that 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' counts, though.

Sugar Mountain is a gray area because the narrator does not live there, though he wishes to. If the song was "Ballad of the Barkers and the Smiling Aisle Girl of Sugar Mountain" it would be more clear cut.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 20 August 2010 19:01 (fifteen years ago)
I must confess that the same applies to The Coo Coo bird. The narrator only asserts his intention to build himself a log-cabin on "a mountain so high".
But I reckon he already lives on a mountain -- he simply wants to move up in the world to a higher one...
