Lyrics Scientist - Martha Tilston

Scientist

gonna be a storm tonight
Gonna be a wild wild storm
Gonna be firecracker lightning
Running out into the garden
Pull the washing in
The baby screams
The seagulls sing
Gonna be a storm tonight
Gonna be hard to leave
Gonna be hard to get away
The rain keeps gushing down
The seaside town
You lie on the bed
Barometer in hand
Say the weather’s changing
Better make some plans
Oh my scientist
My scientist
in the eye of the storm
we make plans all night long
if not Eden, then what?
if no Eden then the floods will carry us away
if not Eden no matter what the adverts say
if not Eden
someday
Eden some day
I’m thinking there is a nother way
gonna get self sufficient
gonna strip right back down
gonna grow our own food
without the wrappin' or the crappin'
gonna get back to the land
gonna have free range children
gonna let them be what they will be
gonna build somewhere to put your telescope
tell me do you think there is anybody out there?
And have they seen us?
you say you don’t know but you can show me Venus
oh my scientist
my beautiful scientist
in the eye of the storm
we make plans all night long
cause if not Eden, then what?
if not Eden, its just a window display
plastic Eden, if the corporations have their way
if not Eden then the floods will clear us all away
if not Eden
someday
so I’m for Eden
someday
yeah I’m for Eden
someday
there’s gonna be a storm tonight
gonna be a wild wild storm
