Enough about Science?

Leaving This Earth
by Dave Stewart
from the album 'Sly-Fi' (1998)
She's leaving this earth again
there's a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. she'll be there
she's special, oh so special
knows enough about science
to get married to a millionaire
she'll be there

She takes a shower in a small town near Birmingham
and though here clothes are unfashionable
they have a timeless feel, but is she real?

She leaves the building and walks through
the housing estate. It's 7.30, a state grey sky
but in spite of this she turns and blows a kiss

She's leaving this earth again
there's a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. she'll be there
she's special, oh so special
knows enough about science
to get married to a millionaire
she'll be there

He'll comb his hair in a high rise apartment
on the river Tyne, though his neck is scarred
he has a strong and handsome face, a human face
he leaves the building and walks to his electric car
it's 7.30 there's a bitter wind but in spite of that
he turns and tips his hat

He's leaving this earth again
there's a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. he'll be there
he's so special oh so special
knows enough about science
to forget about his morning prayers
he'll be there

I'm leaving this earth again
there's a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. I'll be there
I'm special oh so special
I was chosen by the captain
of a spaceship in Trafalgar Square
and I promised I'd be there or be square!

Just out of interest, how much about science do you have to know to either:

1. ... get married to a millionaire, or
2. ... forget about your morning prayers?

Just wondering...
