Thank you very much. Now, I’ve got a story for you. When I arrived off the plane, after a very long journey from the West of England, my computer, my beloved laptop, had gone mad, and had — oh! — a bit like that! — and the display on it — anyway, the whole thing had burst. And I went to the IT guys here and a gentleman mended my computer, and then he said, “What are you doing here?” and I said “I’m playing the cello and I’m doing a bit of singing,” and he said, “Oh, I sort of play the cello as well.” And I said, “Do you really?” Anyway, so you’re in for a treat, because he’s fantastic, and his name’s Mark.
I am also joined by my partner in crime, Thomas Dolby.
This song is called “Farther than the Sun.”
♫ Strung in the wind I called you ♫♫ but you did not hear … ♫♫ And you’re a plant that needs poor soil ♫♫ and I have treated you too well ♫♫ to give up flowers … ♫♫ Oh, I have been too rich for you … ♫♫ Farther than the sun from me ♫♫ Farther than I’d have you be ♫♫ And I go north, I get so cold ♫♫ My heart is lava under stone ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ You are not worthy … ♫♫ With your calculating eyes ♫♫ spinning figures ♫♫ you cannot see me ♫♫ You cannot see me … ♫♫ And if I tell myself enough ♫♫ I’ll believe it ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ The sea, it freezes over … ♫♫ to trap the light ♫♫ And I’m in love with being in love ♫♫ and you were never quite the one ♫♫ In Gerda’s eyes ♫♫ Fragments of what you’ve become ♫♫ And all the moths that fly at night ♫♫ believe electric light is bright ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ With your calculating eyes ♫♫ Spinning figures ♫♫ You cannot see me, no ♫♫ And if I tell myself enough ♫♫ I’ll believe it ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ Farther than the sun from me ♫♫ Farther than I’d have you be ♫♫ And I go north, I get so cold ♫♫ My heart is lava under stone ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ You are not worthy ♫♫ With your calculating eyes ♫♫ Spinning figures ♫♫ You cannot see me, no …
♫♫ And if I tell myself enough, I’ll believe it ♫
Thank you very much.
