caroline lavelle casts a spell on cello
Thank you very much. Now, I've got a story for you. When I arrived off the plane, after a very long journey from the West of England, my computer, my beloved laptop, had gone mad, and hadoh!a bit like that!and the display on itanyway, the whole thing had burst. And I went to the IT guys here and a gentleman mended my computer, and then he said, "What are you doing here?" and I said "I'm playing the cello and I'm doing a bit of singing," and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well." And I said, "Do you really?" Anyway, so you're in for a treat, because he's fantastic, and his name's Mark.

I am also joined by my partner in crime, Thomas Dolby.

This song is called "Farther than the Sun."
(Music)
Strung in the wind I called you
but you did not hear ...
And you're a plant that needs poor soil
and I have treated you too well
to give up flowers ...
Oh, I have been too rich for you ...
Farther than the sun from me
Farther than I'd have you be
And I go north, I get so cold
My heart is lava under stone
You are not worthy
You are not worthy ...
With your calculating eyes
spinning figures
you cannot see me
You cannot see me ...
And if I tell myself enough
I'll believe it
You are not worthy
The sea, it freezes over ...
to trap the light
And I'm in love with being in love
and you were never quite the one
In Gerda's eyes
Fragments of what you've become
And all the moths that fly at night
believe electric light is bright
You are not worthy
You are not worthy
With your calculating eyes
Spinning figures
You cannot see me, no
And if I tell myself enough
I'll believe it
You are not worthy
Farther than the sun from me
Farther than I'd have you be
And I go north, I get so cold
My heart is lava under stone
You are not worthy
You are not worthy
With your calculating eyes
Spinning figures
You cannot see me, no ...
And if I tell myself enough, I'll believe it
(Applause)
Thank you very much.
