lyrics
Little Stephen Hawking
He’s always on a roll
He’s always in a brain storm
His mind full of black holes
They’re sucking in his body
But I’m betting on his soul
Comin’ back through
He’s a force of nature
But not forcier than you
Well maybe just in scale love
But in density not true
Yeah you can singularly
Turn the whole world blue
Baby it’s true
You walk among us with your rainy lightnin’
You walk among us and dark clouds swirl round you
You walk among us, you’re a little frightning
And then you smile, and clouds are gone
You’re the force of nature, we are hooked on you
We study all your dances and everything you do
We try to be objective but the love keeps breaking through
Baby it’s true
You’re all around us raging storms of beauty
Magnetic forces swirl the tides that bind us
We long to know you, our objective duty
But you’re the drug that we are on
Have mercy on us, calm these waves around us
Have mercy on us, walk upon these waters
Your ways astound us, spark our dreams and wonder
And reason dies if you are gone
Little Stephen Hawking
He’s always on a roll
He’s always in a brain storm
His mind full of black holes
They’re sucking in his body
But his radiating soul
Keeps comin’ back through
He’s always on a roll
He’s always in a brain storm
His mind full of black holes
They’re sucking in his body
But I’m betting on his soul
Comin’ back through
He’s a force of nature
But not forcier than you
Well maybe just in scale love
But in density not true
Yeah you can singularly
Turn the whole world blue
Baby it’s true
You walk among us with your rainy lightnin’
You walk among us and dark clouds swirl round you
You walk among us, you’re a little frightning
And then you smile, and clouds are gone
You’re the force of nature, we are hooked on you
We study all your dances and everything you do
We try to be objective but the love keeps breaking through
Baby it’s true
You’re all around us raging storms of beauty
Magnetic forces swirl the tides that bind us
We long to know you, our objective duty
But you’re the drug that we are on
Have mercy on us, calm these waves around us
Have mercy on us, walk upon these waters
Your ways astound us, spark our dreams and wonder
And reason dies if you are gone
Little Stephen Hawking
He’s always on a roll
He’s always in a brain storm
His mind full of black holes
They’re sucking in his body
But his radiating soul
Keeps comin’ back through

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “Force of Nature (Stephen Hawking's Lament)”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “Force of Nature (Stephen Hawking's Lament)”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
