Everybody tells me I'll pass easily I've been working hard for oh so long But they don't realise my exam technique Guarantees that something will go wrong

I can name you forty types of hernia I know the innervations of the spleen I know the incidence of pemphigus I even know what cohort studies mean

I know all the cytokines in carcinoid I real ultrasounds and MRI I can draw the structure of Rifampicin And I can stage a cancer of the eye

I answered all the written papers easily But the clinicals won't be so fine I get so nervous I just can't perform OK - come in candidate 6079

Tell me - what do you see? I don't know Look at his knee I don't know What does that scar mean? I really don't know.

Is it Pagets? No Bagets? No, that doesn't exist. I thought not What the hell did you say Bagets for? I knew this so well

All my knowledge seems to have deserted me Let me give you this what do you see? This is an X-Ray showing Crohn's Disease No its not its called an ECG

Tell me when you might require a Central Line? If you have to get to Marble Arch What would you find in Normal Saline? Silicon and caesium and starch

What is MS? I donn't know What's an MI? I don't know How would you treat one? Oh this one I know - I'd make a small incision in the back of his c... NO!

I'm sorry What the bloody hell is wrong with you? I knew this so well

I'd like you to test this lady's reflexes Why's that tension hammer in her mouth? I'm trying to assess her gag reflex I meant for you to use it further south... Not there!

Tell me how you'd manage an emergency? I'd do ABC, Good A's for air, B is for bleeding, C's for cyclizine Right I think we'd better end it there

How did I do? I can't say Did I do well? Go away But have I passed it? It pains me to say You're white and posh and male so we can't let you fail Hallelujah Rule Britannia Though you're dangerous I knew this full well.

Say hi to the Professor, I'm your new House Officer And I've heard the rumour that you're no good at removing tumours You've got no ability, you're a liability And you can't deny that all you patients seem to die.

But what you don't see is it comes down to me To try and explain again and again To relatives why their loved ones have dies you see

Tell me, why does every op you do lead to compications? It makes it very hard for me to try to explain to their relations Why the patient cannot pee, cannot see, has PE, DVT, HIV - yeah, its my duty Promise me you won't be doing any more operations, no, no, no

She said she loved me She said she loved my big ideas She said she'd help me With my creativity

And I said greater, greater things And greater, greater things And greater things are yet to come

And I said greater, greater things And greater, greater things And greater things are yet to come

She said she loved me She said she loved to be with me She said she needed me For her creative industry

And she said "Don't be so depressed" I said "I'm not as depressed as the dispossessed I'm just upset, ‘cause I regret That I didn't connect with you The way I wanted to"

I wanted to light up Maria's eyes with poetry And romantic lines Creativity and inspiration You were my inspiration

And all want to do is hold you All I want to do is hold you

We write, we dance, we sing, what's up girlfriend?

[Repeat until end]

There's 11 dimensions, in the heart of you. There's 11 dimensions, and I've got the proof. No more clever pretentions, I hasten to mention. There's 11 inside of me too. There's 11 dimensions and we make 22.

There's a level of tension. A like that's rarely seen. There's a level of tension. Exact science, unattainable dream.

Though we're breaking convention. Through lack of prevention. I can't stand it when we're apart. There's 11 dimensions to mine and your heart.

Don't doubt or fear, they'll always be near. When they feel that there is a need to. Cos there's 11 dimensions. There's a level dimension.

There are extra dimensions, of that I'm sure. Could be 11 dimensions. There may be less, but I doubt there's more. Maybe we're flying solo. Then again what do I know? Have they always been there from the start? There's 11 dimensions, but only in your head & your heart. There's 11 dimensions, in the heart of you. There's 11 dimensions, and we've got the proof. I just wish you were with me. And that you would forgive me. Should there be a need to do. There's 11 dimensions and we make 22.

Music: Dr Stu Lyrics: Dr Stu and James Urquhart

Too small for human eyes to see Squeezed into a stellar pea The neutron stars do not burn bright But hide away inside the night

A hundred billion shining stars Flung across the heavens far But neutron stars do not burn bright Crushed away, by gravity's might

Neutron stars unseen by earthly eyes just ten miles wide Neutron stars so dense they're heavier than metal

Electrons forced into their core Where protons crowd and join for more The neutron stars do not burn bright But hide away inside the night

The magnetic force is squeezed as well To strengthen up and spit like hell But neutron stars do not burn bright They send radio beams into the night

It's always been a problem, right from the very start Do I go with the flow or take a stand apart? Follow my head or listen to my heart, Am I a wave or a particle, wave or a particle, A wave or a particle - ooh, what do I do?

I asked Schroedinger's cat but it didn't answer back

Don't look to closely, you might upset the game Are we all acting strangely, or do we stay the same? Why not give up, it's only a name? Am I a wave or a particle, wave or a particle, A wave or a particle - ooh, what do I do?

I asked Schroedinger's cat but it didn't answer back

Don't sweat the small stuff, or maybe you should You can make your calculations but they won't do much good Might as well count magpies or knock, knock, knock on wood Cos I'm a wave and a particle, a wave and a particle a wave and a particle, well, ooh, what do I do?

I'm geek of the week And I'm so proud to be me Got a first-class degree From university I'm geek of the week Oh why can't you see that We should be Together

But you say... go... away You're biggest geek I know

As if you're not keen On giving lab rats codeine As if you're the coolest kid On the block But don't, don't you think That I don't know Where you go In that lab coat

Let me help you, let me help you We could check your... findings, your findings...

I'm geek of the week And I'm not ashamed Got three letters after my name Still you treat me just the same I'm geek of the week You say you're not impressed By my Klingon songs Or my X-ray specs

[instrumental verse]

I know I've blundered, but you can give me hope Put me under, under... your microscope

I'm geek of the week And I'm not ashamed Got three letters after my name Still you treat me just the same I'm geek of the week You say you're not impressed By my Klingon songs Or my X-ray specs

But you're a fine one to talk Yes, you're a fine one to talk With your geeky suggestions And theoretical questions And you know you used to look And you know you still speak Like you really want to be Geek of the week... [x4]

I think its great that you've got eight wobbly arms I can never see you with your crazy camouflage I think your bostin! you are surreal! Better than the fish the sharks and even the conger eel

Because

I love You Octopus x 2

I wish I was as rich as the English King and Queen I'd spend my money on a brand new submarine I'd swim with the dolphins, like Jaques Cousteau In the end of the evening we'd have a real big fish disco

Because

I love You Octopus x 2 Octopus I love You
