Essentially an acoustic based song with astonishing violin work from Graham Smith with which to play out the track. Almost sounds like a guitar solo Hendrix would have been proud of!

Story behind the song
This was inspired by an old girlfriend at a time when things were going well. The title refers to her star sign - Scorpio, and her interest in Taoism etc influenced the writing of the lyric. Dave Edwards almost completely re-worked the melody as he felt my original tune was too full of musical cliches. He was right!
Lyrics
The Eagle And The Scorpion The eagle and the scorpion comes out to share a drink Her teasing eyes maybe don't see as much as she might think The yin and yang are muddled but they're sure to balance out We have to savour what so many others are without. Chorus: So look at the way through the hills and the valleys The open roads and the concealed alleys And listen to the voice which hails from within Cause God knows you can win. A smile so slight and yet so sweet may hint at what she knows Her guarded sensibility occasionally shows But now is all there is so now we might as well relax And deal the joker and the ace from our respective packs. Chorus The whisky and the dry white wine were speaking at the time Discussing the significance of the number nine But still it seems there's such a large and unexplored domain The joy is in the gathering of the harvest from the grain Chorus
