Thomas Gold (May 22, 1920 – June 22, 2004) was an Austrian-born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Society (London). Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who in the 1950s proposed the now mostly abandoned 'steady state' hypothesis of the universe. Gold's work crossed academic and scientific boundaries, into biophysics, astronomy, aerospace engineering, and geophysics.
Gold was born on May 22, 1920 in Vienna, Austria to Max Gold, a wealthy Jewish industrialist (pre-war) who ran one of Austria's largest mining and metal fabrication companies, and German former actress Josefine Martin. Following the economic downfall of the European mining industry in the late 1920s, Max Gold moved his family to Berlin, where he had taken a job as director of a metal trading company. Following the start of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's anti-Jewish campaigns in 1933, Gold and his family left Germany because of his father's heritage. The family traveled through Europe for the next few years. Gold attended boarding school at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz in Zuoz, Switzerland, where he quickly proved to be a clever, competitive and physically and mentally aggressive individual. Gold finished his schooling at Zuoz in 1938, and fled with his family to England after the German invasion of Austria in early 1938. Gold entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1939 and began studying mechanical sciences. In May 1940, just as Hitler was commencing his advance in Belgium and France, Gold was sent into internment as an enemy alien by the British government. It was on the first night of internment, at an army barracks in Bury St Edmunds, that he met his future collaborator and close friend, Hermann Bondi.

She plays Wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather round to sing the guitar
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?
When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?
And you can see the daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate
Kate...Kate...Kate
Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want
She's everything I'm not
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks
And she breathes
I wanna be Kate

She hands out the Bhagavad-Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so I can say...hey Kate

So the roses can see
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
And you can see daisies
In her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
Everyday she wears the same thing

It's nice of you to call me
when you know I'm out on tour
I will be gone for months now
and I've told you this before
just a little patience
and I'll soon be back again
oh Kate, I have to go now,
'coz the crowd calls out my name, the crowd calls out my name
and yes of course I've missed you
and it's great to hear your voice
but we're in the middle of soundcheck
and I can't speak for all the noise
just a little patience
and I'll soon be back again
oh Kate, I have to go now
'coz the crowd calls out my name, the crowd calls out my name
oh it's you again
no I just can't talk right now
the pressconference has started
of course I'd like to be with you but how?
just a little patience
and I'll soon be back again
oh Kate, I have to go now
We were going through the harbor going faster than the wind
A perfect match between the man and the machine
Underneath the surface, love's as cold and blue
And you're saying this town is not made for you
Starts getting closer, going through the night
No one can reach us when we're out of sight
Time's running faster, please let us through
Going in any direction will do
And you said to me, you said what it was all about and I said no
You wouldn't take no for an answer
Saying colder than the wind
Your lack of tears is the perfect tent
Don't you try to say it 'cause no words will do
We were communicating through the stereo
Starts getting closer, going through the night
No one can reach us, no we're out of sight
Time's running faster, please let us through
Going in any direction will do
And you said to me, you said what it was all about and I said no
Out on the coast where lovers sin
I wait for ships that won't come in
Love is the most that I can bear
I was the fact you made it clear
Come out tonight; my halo's near, the coast is clear
I'm out of time, speed out of sight, don't leave me here
She plays wipeout on the drums
the squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I...have you got nothing to say
When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
so the roses can see
Oh I...have you got nothing to say
And you can see the daisies
in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate
Everyday she wars the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I need, She's everything I'm not
Oh. I...
Have you got nothing to say
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate
Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the
Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so that
I can say...hey Kate
I will not go if you can't take meWe shall believe that
you don't love me.
Its a crime that you left now I plea the 5th
No I dont care if you dont love me
Pieces of time and broken the line
No I am fine but your plain crazy
Leave me alone and no I won't go
Why do I care if you don't love me
Chorus
I swear I once had heaven
On this carousel of love
But the sillouette of Satan
He dashed it from my cup
And to you this has no meaning
For you've never worn my shoes
Seasons change years roll past
