about

This track was recorded in 1999 at home. The intro is a short extract from Arthur Conan Doyle's novel "A Case of Identity", read by Tony (as Sherlock Holmes)...

lyrics

Intro: (Sherlock Holmes)
"Pon my word, Watson, you're coming along wonderfully.
You've really done very well indeed.
It's true that you've missed everything of importance,
but you've hit upon the method,
and you've a quick eye for colour.
Never trust to general impressions,
but concentrate yourself upon details."

Perfection... is it all is seems?
Perfection... your idea of heaven.
Like a mouse you see up close,
So the molehills become mountains.

Nothing can escape your eye,or your observation.
Criticising what you find,
Magnifying glass in hand
Like Sherlock on a mission.
You are like a scientist.
I wait for you to have a clue...
proof to prove that you exist.

Love is complicated to a microscope mind
The heart is simple and real
And how I feel is elementary.

Rejection... is all it seems to be.
Reflection... changes my perception.
There's no loss without the gaining,
We're enough as we, imperfectly.

Look at all the details... ever-dense to send me down,
Prove you right so I am wrong,
Guilty til proved innocent...
Will you hear my alibi?

Life is complicated
To a microscope mind
The heart is simple and real
And how I feel
Is elementary

Perfection... is it all is seems?
Perfection... your idea of heaven.
Like a mouse you see up close,
So the molehills become mountains.

Rejection... is all it seems to be.
Reflection... changes my perception.
There's no loss without the gaining,
We're enough as we, imperfectly.
There's no loss without the gaining,
We're enough as we, imperfectly.

Have you a clue?
Have you a clue?
Have you a clue?
Have you a clue?

There's no loss without the gaining
We're enough as we, imperfectly.
