Keep Yourself Alive (Trident Take 13 - Unused Master)

"What's all that?"
"Well- well, the bass is coming out funny through the cams"
"Try a new tempo"
"This will be, uhm, Roger's gonna- got a new tempo"
"Take a good shot, take one, keep- yes"
"Three"
"Right, that'll do"

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, bread and butter for a smile

Well I sold a million mirrors in a shopping alley
But I never saw my face in any window any day

Well they say your folks are telling you, "be a superstar"
Well I tell you, just be satisfied, so stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive (c'mon)
Keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive

Well I loved a million women in a Belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on sliver 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

Keep yourself alive (keep on)
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, take you on your time and your money, and money you'll survive

(Yeah!)
(Wow!)
(Wow!)
(Yow!)
(Wow!)
(Wow!)
(Ha ha ha ha...)

Keep yourself alive (yeah)
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, take you on your time and your money, to keep me satisfied

Do you think you get better every day?
No, I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave (oh)

Keep yourself alive (c'mon)
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, all you pretty people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Oh, all you people, keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (c'mon, c'mon)
Keep yourself alive
Take you, all your time and your money, keep me satisfied (take it)
Keep yourself alive (ooh)
Keep yourself alive (ooh)
Take you, all your time and your money, and money you'll survive

Take you, all your time and money, honey, you'll survive
Hmm, keep me satisfied, hmm-hmm
Deary me!
