Keep Yourself Alive - Long Lost Retake / June 1975 / Remastered 2011

I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
 Tried to 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 alley way
 But I never saw my face in any window, any day
 Now they say your folks are telling you
 "Be a super star"
 But I tell you just be satisfied
 And stay right where you are
 Keep yourself alive, ooh
 Keep yourself alive, ooh
 Take you all your time and money
 Honey, you'll survive
 ♪
 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 troubles 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, ooh
 All you people, keep yourself alive
 ♪
 Keep yourself alive, oh, yeah
 Keep yourself alive, ooh
 It'll take your time and money
 To keep you satisfied
 Do you think you're better every day?
 No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
 Keep yourself alive, come on
 Keep yourself alive, ooh
 Take you all your time and money
 Honey, you'll survive
 Keep yourself alive, keep on
 Keep yourself alive, ooh
 All you people, keep yourself alive
 Keep yourself alive, come on, come on
 Keep yourself alive
 Get it, get it, get it, boy
 Keep yourself alive
 Keep yourself alive
 Keep yourself alive
 All you people, keep yourself alive
 It'll take you all your time and money, honey
 You'll survive
 Keep you satisfied
 Keep yourself alive
 Keep yourself alive
