Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star, daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade,
you make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head
but it's not me
Us and them.
And after all we're only ordinary men.
The Great Gig In The Sky
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

1. The veil that got an artist accused of alchemy
Giuseppe Sanmartino carved the Veiled Christ from a single block of white marble in 1753 for the Cappella Sansevero in Naples.
Contemporaries accused him of alchemy for its breathtaking realism, and Canova himself declared he would give ten years of his life to have created it.
2. Marble sits at 3-4 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Steel sits at 4 to 4.5.
Khafre Enthroned is made of anorthosite gneiss, which registers at 6 to 7. It was carved over four millennia ago by ancient Egyptians who, according to archaeologists, had not yet developed iron tools.
