Keep Yourself Alive (De Lane Lea Demo, December 1971) Queen

[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on tryin' just 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 shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you, “To be a superstar”
But I tell you, just be satisfied and stay right where you are

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, yeah, keep yourself alive
All you pеople, keep yourself alive

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
Wеll, I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everythin' I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger, then back to be my goal
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on tryin' 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: Freddie Mercury]
Keep yourself alive, eah, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money, honey, you'll survive
