In a North London, top flat All white walls, white carpet, cat, Paper partitions Modern art and The a physician, Bright bloke, has his own His an actress An old mate of ours home And they're always fun So to we've come.
The fifth is an unknown, The hosts just thrown Us together for a because this girls arrived from Australia And she'ss moved to North And she's the sister of Or has connection.
As we make I'm struck by her She's fair With eyes and dark hair But as she I admit I'm a little bit because I notice the tip of the wing of a Tattooed on that area above the derrire And when she says Im I confess a pigeonhole starts to And is immediately with pigeon When she says her is Storm.
Conversation is initially bright and But it's not before Storm gets started: You cant anything, Knowledge is merely She opines, over her Sauvignon Vis--vis, Some Empirical comment by me
Not a start I think We're only on drinks And the room, my wife her eyes Silently begs me, Be A warning Not ignoring So I resist the to ask Storm Whether knowledge is so Of a When deciding to leave Her apartment by the door Or a on the second floor.
The food is and Storm, Whilst all meat, Happily and eats As the doctor, slightly pissedly Holds court on some aspect of medical history When suddenly insists But the body is a mystery! Science falls in a hole When it to explain the the nature of the soul.
My hostess throws me a She, like my wife, there's a chance That I'll be off on one of my rare but fun But I shan't , my are sealed. I just want to my meal And although Storm is starting to get my I no intention of rocking the boat, it's becoming a bit of a wrestle Because -- like her namesake - Storm has no such concerns for our
companies are the enemy They promote drug At the cost of the remedies That are all our bodies are immoral and driven by greed. Why take When can solve it? Why use When solvents Can it? I it's time we all return-to-live natural medical alternatives.
And try as I like, A crack appears In my diplomacy-dike. By definition, I Medicine, I continue, Has either not been to work, Or proved not to work. Do you know what they call alternative Thats proved to work? Medicine.
So you believe In ANY remedies?
On the contrary, Storm, Before I to tea, I a natural remedy Derived from the bark of a tree A painkiller virtually side-effect free. Its got a name, Darling, was it again? Aspirin! Which I paid about a for at the local drugstore.
The debate briefly As my hosts collects but when return with desserts Storm asserts,
said it first: ''There are more things in heaven and exist in your philosophy'' Science is just how trained to look at reality, It doesn't explain or spirituality. How does science psychics? the afterlife; the power of prayer?
I'm aware I'm staring, I'm a rabbit suddenly trapped In the blinding headlights of crap. Maybe it's the Hamlet she mis-quothed Or the fifh glass of wine I quaffed But my diplomacy dike And the arsehole held back by its Can be held back no
, Storm, I don't mean to bore you But there's no such as an aura! Reading is like reading minds Or tea-leaves or star-signs or meridian These people aren't a skill, They are lying or mentally ill. Same goes for peoplewho to hear Gods demands Or Spiritual healers who think they've got hands.
By the way, Why is it OK For to pretend they can talk to the dead? Isn't totally fucked in the head Lying to some crying whose child has died And telling her you're in touch with the side? I think that's fundamentally Do we need to that there's no such thing as a psychic? What, are we 2? Do we actually think that Heard a Who? Do we still think that Santa brings us That Michael didn't have facelifts? Are we still so stunned by circus That we think the dead would Wanna talk to John Edward?
Storm to her credit despite my Keeps firing off clichés with startling Like a sniper using for ammunition
You're so sure of your But you're closed-minded I think you'll Your faith in Science and Is just as As the of any fundamentalist.
"Wow, a good point, let me think for a bit" Oh wait, my mistake, its bullshit. adjusts it's views based on what's observed Faith is the denial of observation so that can be preserved. If you me That, say, works, I will change my mind I spin on a fucking dime I'll be as hell, But I will run the streets yelling Its a miracle! physics and bin it! has memory! And while it's of a long lost drop of onion juice is Infinite It forgets all the poo its had in it!
You me that it works and how it works And when I've from the shock I will take a compass and carve 'Fancy That' on the of my cock.
Everyone's just now, But I'm pissed and Ive dug this far down, So I figure, in for penny, in for a

If wanna watch tele, you watch Scooby Doo. show was so cool because every there was a church with a ghoul Or a ghost in a They looked the mask and what was inside? The fucking janitor or the who ran the water-slide. throughout history Every solved has turned out to be Not Magic.
Does the idea that there be knowledge Frighten the idea that one afternoon On Wiki-fucking-pedia enlighten you you? Does the notion that may not be a supernatural So blow your noodle That you'd just stand in the fog Of inability to Google?
this enough? Just world? this beautiful, complex Wonderfully unfathomable, world? How does it so to hold our attention That we have to it with the invention Of cheap, Myths and Monsters? If so into Shakespeare Lend me ear:

I see of Green, Red too, And fine, if you to Glorify and Vishnu In a post-colonial, Bottled-up and kind of way Then whatever, okay. But heres what me a hard-on: I am a tiny, insignificant, bit of carbon. I one life, and it is short and unimportant But to recent scientific advances I get to twice as long as my great great great great uncles-es and aunts-es. Twice as long to this life of mine Twice as long to love this wife of Twice as many years of and wine Of sharing curries and getting At good-looking fairies on their spines And on their titties.
