Keep Yourself Alive (Live at the Rainbow, London / November 1974)

Lyrics

That's right, come on Just you, keep yourself alive I was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way Might he grow a little wiser Little better every day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Still be where I started Bread and butter for a smile Sold a million mirrors in a shop-in alleyway But I never saw my face in any window any day Now they say your folks are telling you, 'be a superstar' Tell you just be satisfied, stay right where you are Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Shake Well I 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 Feed my body and my soul Then I'll grow a bigger, maybe that can be my goal Told a million times of all the people in my way How I'd have to keep on trying and get better every day But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles Still be where I started, same as when I started Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive
