about

Charles finally lands on the correct formula, with a little help from Clarissa. Once he does so, he immediately sets out to get financial backing from friends in Boston. But back home, tragedy is unfolding.

lyrics

I just needed heat (heat!)
To make the formula complete
After all these years I shall extract it
I needed heat (heat!)
I'm glad I did not concede defeat
A few more tweaks and I will soon have cracked it.

I'm almost there (I'm in despair)
I'm almost there (the cupboard's bare)
I'm almost there (he doesn't care)
I'm almost there (I'll say a prayer)

We need to eat (eat!)
We need some bread,
we need some meat,
We're surviving by the skin of our teeth
We raid the bin (bin!)
The farmer's patience running thin
Face the facts, it's time to give in.

I'm almost there (I'm in despair)
I'm almost there (the cupboard's bare)
I'm almost there (he doesn't care)
I'm almost there (I'll say a prayer)

He just needed heat (heat!)
To make the formula complete
After all these years he shall extract it
He needed heat (heat!)
And he would not concede defeat.
A few more tweaks and he will soon have cracked it.
