about

Tolerance. Collaboration. Partnership.

lyrics

The artist and the scientist, had for some time been friends,
although their points of view came from very different ends.
One claimed to know the answers from logic free of rules;
one claimed the only answers were those he learnt in school.

So rarely agreed, but always open to the view they pinned their hope on.
Impressed by the others stubborn conviction, but possessed by their own narrow prediction.

So long in disagreement, they both agreed a cunning plan - for each to lead the others work and stimulate the other man.

Why can't the world be like our friendship, that evolved into a partnership.
My friend we can find a way that's forward, our race need not be so down and cornered.

Lets work out where we came from, to find out where to go to;
you've got to have respect, to get where we can get.
Everybody started equal. We got led by the deceitful.
Lets look out into space to save the human race.

The artist and the scientist had for some time been friends,
although their points of view came from very different ends.

The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre. ... more
