"People don't understand time. People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff." — The Doctor |

"The babel fish is small, yellow, leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the universe. It feeds on brain-wave energy, absorbing all unconscious frequencies and then excreting telepathically a matrix formed from the conscious frequencies and nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain. The practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear you instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech you hear decodes the brain wave matrix." |

Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
Home, home again
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way.
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
And racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines.
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.
I like to be here when I can.
And when I come home cold and tired,
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells. — Pink Floyd
