Is anybody home?
is in your gentle hands
and I won't scare myself

Quotes
[edit]- Ha! It's poetry in motion.
She turned her tender eyes to me,
As deep as any ocean,
As sweet as any harmony.
Mm, but she blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And failed me in biology, yeah.- "She Blinded Me with Science" (1982)
- The Earth can be any shape you want it
any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
long or thin or small
If love is all you're missing
look into your heart:
Is anybody home?
There are stones buried in your soul
In time you'll come to understand
this flat old Earth is in your gentle hands- Thomas Dolby, "The flat Earth" (song)
- I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself when I let my thoughts run
But it's oh so very different when we're together
And I'm so, so, so much calmer, I feel better
'Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever
And the sooner that we realize it, the better
And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself- Thomas Dolby, "I scare myself" (song)
- Some people sing love songs
Everybody's got one
This isn't my love song
It's more like my love-gone-wrong song
She came to breakfast
And stayed a week
But the lie detectors
Broke down each time she tried to speak
Broke down when she said:
"You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar."
I remember, I remember, I remember
The promise in your eyes
As black as the night I drove you to the airport
And I remember, I remember, I remember
The wide Brazilian sky that swallowed you
Then I hit thirty
Guess I can't complain
But I must have been lonely
The night I bumped into Lorraine
She came for coffee
And stayed all night
But the lie detectors
Broke down every time I tried to smile
Broke down like the story of my life
And each dream I missed by half a mile
Broke down when I told her:
"You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar."- Thomas Dolby, "Close but no cigar" (song)
