letra de why - the richard's

listen to my question. what is the meaning when you say that there’s a feeling? of course you feel it. now what do you want to know?

what i want to know is what’s going on between these two bits of metal?

they repel each other
what does that mean, or why are they doing that, or how are they doing that? i think that’s a perfectly reasonable question
of course, it’s an excellent question. but the problem, you see, when you ask why something happens, how does a person answer why something happens? for example, aunt minnie is in the hospital. why? because she went out, slipped on the ice, and broke her hip. that satisfies people. it satisfies, but it wouldn’t satisfy someone who came from another planet and who knew nothing about why when you break your hip do you go to the hospital. how do you get to the hospital when the hip is broken? well, because her husband, seeing that her hip was broken, called the hospital up and sent somebody to get her. all that is understood by people. and when you explain a why, you have to be in some framework that you allow something to be true. otherwise, you’re perpetually asking why. why did the husband call up the hospital? because the husband is interested in his wife’s welfare. not always, some husbands aren’t interested in their wives’ welfare when they’re drunk, and they’re angry. and you begin to get a very interesting understanding of the world and all its complications. if you try to follow anything up, you go deeper and deeper in various directions. for example, if you go, “why did she slip on the ice?” well, ice is slippery. everybody knows that, no problem. but you ask why is ice slippery? that’s kinda curious. ice is extremely slippery. it’s very interesting. you say, how does it work? you could either say, “i’m satisfied that you’ve answered me. ice is slippery; that explains it,” or you could go on and say, “why is ice slippery?” and then you’re involved with something, because there aren’t many things as slippery as ice. it’s very hard to get greasy stuff, but that’s sort of wet and slimy. but a solid that’s so slippery? because it is, in the case of ice, when you stand on it (they say) momentarily the pressure melts the ice a little bit so you get a sort of instantaneous water surface on which you’re slipping. why on ice and not on other things? because water expands when it freezes, so the pressure tries to undo the expansion and melts it. it’s capable of melting, but other substances get cracked when they’re freezing, and when you push them they’re satisfied to be solid. why does water expand when it freezes and other substances don’t? i’m not answering your question, but i’m telling you how difficult the why question is
