Science of Silence Lyrics
We are on a rock, spinning silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me
Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me
Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend

I love this song so much! Loved the Verve, love Richard Ashcroft!
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now? I am crying out, hoping you know And in my baby's arms I need no faith I need no words to define myself And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
What great lyrics!
One of my favourite songs. Exuberance and optimism brought about by being in a good relationship. One of the human conditions prefixed by the albums title. A friend of mine recommended I listen to it, in a misguided attempt to introduce me to a song about god. He should have payed more attention to Mr Ashcrofts lyrics.. could there be anything better in life than feeling like this about someone else? A "cosmic library, a university".
whoa... I'm really surprised by this song, It's somehow not the Richard Ashcroft I knew of before. He sings about happiness, and it seems he has found it in his family. It seems so simple... this song makes me somehow happier as well.
My god, this is an absolutely gorgeous song. Richard Ashcroft is a pretty underrated song writter. Human Conditions was one of the better albums over the last couple years, should've gotten more press than it did.
She's a well to be dug, she's a university A cosmic library - wait and see
best stuff since the verve days

It's his wife Kate Radley.
It's his wife Kate Radley.
Yeah this is proper uplifting. I love how "God in the numbers" rolls into this song on the album, like his depression is being lifted.
this is the greatest song i've ever heard
