A song inspired by the very first edition of 'the BBC's The Infinite Monkey Cage' in which Dara O'Briain and Dr Alice Roberts joined physicist Professor Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince for a chat.
lyrics
I believe what I want to believe
Even if you think I’m wrong
Even if my faith causes you pain
Even if you prove me wrong.
You see, I live in a magical world
A world of unsolved mysteries
A world where I do not need to try
To understand the world around me.
Close your eyes,
put your fingers in your ears
Sing, ‘La, La, la,’ at the
top of your voice
but the world, the universe,
and all that confounds you
will still be there
when you look again.
I hear the scientist’s speculations
Wondrous visions of an alien land
They live in a land I do not recognise
They live in a land I do not want.
You see, I live in a magical world
A world where water has a memory
A world where planets and stars
Shape the course of my life.
Close your eyes,
put your fingers in your ears
Sing, ‘La, La, la,’ at the
top of your voice
but the world, the universe,
and all that confounds you
will still be there
when you look again.
Scientists say they always try
to explore reality
Why bother, why not sit In the heart
of an enchanted wood.
Fairies and goblins will come and assist you
Will show you how to live a better life.
But sadly, my time is now coming to an end
If only I had taken my doctor’s advice.
Close your eyes,
put your fingers in your ears
Sing, ‘La, La, la,’ at the
top of your voice
but the world, the universe,
and all that confounds you
will still be there
when you look again.
