Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown |
| [00:04.31] |
And things seem hard or tough |
| [00:07.82] |
And people are stupid obnoxious or daft |
| [00:12.86] |
And you feel that you've had quite enough |
| [00:21.73] |
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving |
| [00:27.60] |
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour |
| [00:31.58] |
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned |
| [00:35.48] |
A sun that is the source of all our power |
| [00:39.77] |
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see |
| [00:43.53] |
Are moving at a million miles a day |
| [00:47.35] |
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour |
| [00:51.50] |
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way' |
| [01:03.50] |
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars |
| [01:07.33] |
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side |
| [01:11.16] |
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick |
| [01:14.98] |
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide |
| [01:19.27] |
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point |
| [01:23.16] |
We go 'round every two hundred million years |
| [01:27.16] |
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions |
| [01:30.70] |
In this amazing and expanding universe |
| [02:06.42] |
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding |
| [02:10.96] |
In all of the directions it can whizz |
| [02:14.96] |
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know |
| [02:18.85] |
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is |
| [02:22.47] |
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure |
| [02:26.57] |
How amazingly unlikely is your birth |
| [02:30.70] |
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space |
| [02:34.39] |
Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth! |
