Scientist - Martha Tilston

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
