Reading History Backwards
Your starter for 10 was
Something 'bout Nietzsche
But you couldn't remember
A constitutive feature
You wade through the classics
From Rowling to Homer
But you're not feeling the value
And it's made you a loner
Affairs of the mind and affairs of the heart combine so carelessly
The beat of your brain and beast of your soul work out in harmony
Your triple AAAs and awkward ways are all you've ever mastered
You think you have it all worked out but you're reading history backwards
There is no conferring
You're all on your own now
But the question's on Turing
And you find it assuring
There's no way to win now
Cause the question's on soccer
So you walk to the station
And you head back to Oxford
Felicity Aston
Nikola Tesla
Amelia Earhart
Mother Teresa
Kamala Harris
Leonardo Da Vinci
Barbara McClintock
Agatha Christie
