Keep Yourself Alive (Live at the Rainbow, London, 31st March 1974)

(Freddie: called "Keep Yourself Alive")

Ahh

Yeah
Keep yourself alive
Get down
Yeah

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
And stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive

That's right
That's right
Wow

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
Grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
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
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
