Who is the Doctor

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference


Who is the Doctor first released in 1972, was a single performed by Jon Pertwee. More of a spoken word song than actual singing, Pertwee recites lyrics over a remix of the Doctor Who theme tune, in an almost Shatnerian style. It is the first time that one of the actors playing the Doctor has recorded music, and the first time lyrics had been set to the Doctor Who theme tune.

It was used for the end credits of the More than Thirty Years in the TARDIS video documentary.

Re-Issue, 1983

In 1983 it was released with a B-side of The Sea Devils (soundtrack) by Malcolm Clarke.

Re-Issue, 1985

Lyrics

Verse 1

I cross the void beyond the mind
The empty space that circles time
I see where others stumble blind
To seek a truth they never find
Eternal wisdom is my guide
I am the Doctor.

Verse 2

Through cosmic waste the TARDIS flies
To taste the secret source of life
A presence science can't deny
Exists within, outside, behind
The latitude of the Human minds
I am the Doctor.

Verse 3

My voyage dissects the course of time
"Who knows?," you say
But are you right?
Who searches deep to find the light
That glows so darkly in the night
Toward that point I guide my flight.

Verse 4

As fingers move to end mankind
Metallic teeth begin their grind
With sword of truth I turn to fight
The satanic powers of the night
Is your faith before your mind?
Know me
Am I the Doctor?
