Queen keep your self alive

lyrics:
I was told a million times
of all the troubles in my way
tried to grow a little wiser
little better ev'ry 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
well they say your folks are telling you
to be a superstar
but i tell you just be satisfied
to stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
it'll take you all your time and a 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 ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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 yourself alive
it'll take you all your time and a money
honey you'll survive
Keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive
it'll take you all your time and a money
to keep me satisfied
do you think you're better ev'ry day?
no i think i'm two steps nearer to my grave
keep yourself alive
keep yourself alive mm
you take your time and take more 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 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'll survive
Keep you satisfied
keep you satisfied

@MrJusticeDispenser07 Just remember that Decca Records bypassed both The Beatles and The Who by saying guitar bands were a passing fancy. Oops. Your argument is very valid.

[JimmyMimpson]

great beginning to my favorite band's repitoire, love the beginning riff

[MrJusticeDispenser07]

Funny story befitting this video since this was their first hit, Apple records turned down Queen for signing onto their label. I listen to this song now and wonder "How the fuck could you possibly pass up this much talent?" and Queen only got better from here on.

@dandy97 What's the best song?

[amanda2109114]

This song was rejected from the charts so many times. . . I'm glad it was never forgotten! Queen will live on in history forever!!! Never forgotten-even in a million years! I will tell my kids, and my kids will tell they're kids- and it will just go on forever and ever until the world comes to an end. But never will we ever loose memories of the best rock band in the world! QUEEN WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!

Thanks for posting this. I often have to go one or two videos below the first one which has a commercial and runs the total enjoyment of a continues play playlist. My rock 'n roll sensibilities appreciate.

@Horaciow14 haha when I don't remember this being in Freaks and Geeks?

[HandofDoom01]

1 person died.

@H2SO4xSY 50 years? I'm not even THAT old, The Who are older then Queen far as I know, on par with the Stones, maybe?

[amanda2109114]

you'll be a FOOL to say you hate queen to my face!
