Quantum Baby

Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

A first attempt at the 30 second fragment now on YouTube:

===
Feed (?fade) into the one

We have the lonely heart of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one (? all they want)
Feed (?fade) into the one
===

"Set the controls for the heart of the sun", huh?

Von's hawking Hawking; a love song set in deep space.

Like stars, we pine for singularity?

Some notes I made:

I know I loved you like I loved you yesterday
I   know ... you i believe you anyway
We're entangled but wings. way
Youre. Quantum baby....
But hey

We have the lonely harbour, (of) a thousand suns
And what I want is only one/ and 1 on 1 is only one
Fade into the one

We are this but we are not
I heard I miss what we have got
We are made of stardust
Our....
We are made of stars

We have the glory of a thousand suns
And one on/that?)one is Only one
Fade into the one

OK, here's my go at the whole song (with thanks to the contributors above)

VERSE 1:
I know I loved you like I loved you yesterday
I know [CAN'T HEAR]
We're entangled but [CAN'T HEAR]
[CAN'T HEAR] Quantum Baby, but hey

CHORUS:
We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into (the) one

VERSE 2:
We are this, but we are not
I know [CAN'T HEAR]
We are made of stardust, I bear the scars
We are made of stars

CHORUS:
We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into the one

Fade into the one

CHORUS:
We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into the one

Fade into the one

There are also references to quantum mechanics. Entanglement is one. That's when a group of particles can only be observed as a whole, rather than a sum of its parts.

Quantum Baby may also refer to the Uncertainty principle. Is it this or that, a wave or a particle? Entangling with QB(!) may result in oscillating between two states of being, while seemingly conjoined as one unit.

I know I love you like I loved you yesterday
I don't know you i believe you anyway
We're entangled but the circle weaves away
You're.a little Quantum baby....
But hey

We have the lonely harbour, of a thousand suns
And one andi one is only one
Fade into the one

We are this but we are not
I heard I miss what we have got
We are made of stardust
I bear the scars
We are made of stars

We have the glory of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one

“A thousand suns”? Has Von been spending time with Carl McCoy? That’s very Nephilim!

Probably a reference to Oppenheimer.

I think it might be "you're a little quantum, baby, but hey"
or "we're"

I know I love you like I loved you yesterday
I don't know you, I believe you anyway
We're entangled, but it's a ways away
We're a little quantum, baby, but hey

maybe?

OK, amalgamating all the above, we have:
I know I loved you like I loved you yesterday
I don't know you, I believe you anyway
We're entangled, but it's several ways away
You're a little bit quantum, baby, but hey

We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into the one

We are this, but we are not
I heard I miss what we have got
We are made of stardust, I bear the scars
We are made of stars

We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into the one

Fade into the one

We have the lonely harbour of a thousand suns
And one and one is only one
Fade into the one

Fade into the one
The only bit I'm not sure about is the second part of the third line ("but it's several ways away") - listening to the recordings from the two recent shows I can't tell if it's "several ways", "seven days", or something else.
