Keep Yourself Alive (BBC Session / February 5th 1973, Langham 1 Studio)
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying
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 shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Well I've loved a million women
In a belladonna 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
Still be where I started
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
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
Keep yourself alive mm
Honey keep keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Honey keep keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Come on come on
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Honey keep keep yourself alive
To keep me satisfied...
