Lyrics

(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 when 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
