Freddie Mercury - Keep Yourself Alive lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 bu*ter 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 [Chorus] Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money Honey you'll survive [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Chorus] Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money To keep me satisfied 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 You take your time and take your money Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money To keep me satisfied Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money honey You will survive [Outro] Keep you satisfied Keep you satisfied
