A Curious Feeling

It's a curious feeling

It's a curious feeling to see the edge receding

It seems the more I know, the more I don't know

Does this ever end?

If you listened to fanatics of the left or right

You'd think they'd solve it all but they don't convince me

Some statesmen, gurus, men of science and of philosophy

All have an answer but they won't agree

So if anybody tells you stories

Of how they're gonna change your world

Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran

Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Say I don't believe you 'cos I know we don't need you

In the name of religion or of any politician

I'm sure we've heard it all

If races always ran to form they never would be run

Where would be the fun?

And if ever a man could understand everything there was

He'd have no reason to carry on

So if anybody tells you stories

Of how they're gonna change your world

Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran

Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Say come with me then to the Garden of Eden

Put back our bites from the apple of the Tree of Knowledge

Be like the beasts again
