Keep Yourself Alive (BBC Session / February 5th 1973, Langham 1 Studio) - Queen

I was told a million times

Of all the troubles in my way

Mind you grow a little wiser

Little better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers

And I rode a million miles

Then I'd still be where I started

Bread and butter for a smile

Well I sold a million mirrors

In a shopping alleyway

But I never saw my face

In any window any day

Now they say your folks are telling you

Be a superstar

But I tell you just be satisfied

Stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, c'mon

Keep yourself alive

Ooh, it'll take you all your time and money

It'll keep you satisfied

Well I've loved a million women

In a belladonic haze

And I ate a million dinners

Brought to me on silver trays

Give me everything I need

To feed my body and my soul

And I'll grow a little bigger

Maybe that can be my goal

I was told a million times

Of all the people in my way

How I had to keep on trying

And get better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers

And I rode a million miles

Then I'd still be where I started

Same as when I started

Keep yourself alive, come on

Keep yourself alive

It'll take you all your time and money honey

To keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, oooh

Keep yourself alive

Oh, it'll take you all your time and money

Honey, you'll survive

Do you think you're better every day?

No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, yeah

Keep yourself alive

Mm, all you people

Keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive

C'mon, keep yourself alive

All you people keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive

C'mon c'mon, keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and a money

Honey, you'll survive

Keep yourself alive, c'mon

Keep yourself alive

All you people keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and money, honey

Keep yourself alive

Oh, keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
