My Dear Keir Video (MV)

James Keir was fondest of Hilltop, West Bromwich
And he settled there
Chemistry, geology and sometimes biology
He didn't care
Because a science unfolds the mysteries we're told
But we know aren't true
An inquisitive man, does what he can
To understand it all

Question what you think you know
Question what you think you know

Boulton and Watt knew James Keir was smart
And approached him to run Soho whilst they were away
And after this time, he manufactured alkali
And built a soap factory, on Soap Factory Road in Tipton
And when Priestly arrived, Keir's chemistry revived
And he published paper after paper
And fire after fire, Keir never lost desire
Though he did lose good work
He did lose some good work

Be strong, and carry on
Be strong, and carry on
Be strong, and carry on
Be strong, and carry on
