Queen — Keep Yourself Alive BBC Session/February 5th 1973 Langham 1 Studio

[Verse 1] 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 shop in Alley Way 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 and stay right where you are [Chorus] Keep yourself alive (come on) Keep yourself alive (ooh) Take you all your time and your money Keep you satisfied (Listen) [Verse 2] Well I've loved a million women in a belladonnic 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 [Chorus] Keep yourself alive (come on) Keep yourself alive (ooh) Take you all your time and your money To keep yourself alive (keep you satisfied) (Whoo!) (Watch it) (Wah!) Keep yourself alive (hmm) Keep yourself alive (hmm) It'll take you all your time and your money Honey you'll survive [Bridge] Do you think you're better every day? No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave [Chorus] (Come on) keep yourself alive (yeah) Keep yourself alive All you people Keep yourself alive [Outro] Keep yourself alive (come on) Keep yourself alive (hmm) all you people Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive (come on, come on) Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money Honey you'll survive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive (Hmm) all you people Keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money, honey Uh!
