The Scientist

 

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you

And tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions

Oh lets go back to the start

Running in circles, coming in tails

Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

 

I was just guessing at numbers and fingers

Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science, science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing tails

Coming back as we are

 

Nobody said it was easy

Oh it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

 

Ooooohhhhhhh [x4]

Carbon Leaf. *Paloma* It's empowering, too... but sad.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Jethro Tull. arrgh! impossible! well one for today, from *Cup of Wonder*

Ask the green man where he comes from, ask the cup that fills with red.Ask the old grey standing stones that show the sun its way to bed.Question all as to their ways, and learn the secrets that they hold.Walk the lines of nature's palm crossed with silver and with gold.Pass the cup and pass the lady, pass the plate to all who hunger.Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, pass the cup of crimson wonder.

What is your favorite song by 9?
U2. *I Still Can't Find What I'm Looking For* -- at this very moment that's what comes to mind. :-)
