Keep Yourself Alive

-
by May

I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Mind he grow a little wiser
A little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I road 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 tellin' you
To be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive yeah, keep yourself alive
Ooh take you all your time and money
Honey you'll survive

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
To feed my body and my soul
When 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 road a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as where I started

Keep yourself alive come on, keep yourself alive
Ooh take you all your time and money
Honey you'll survive (Shake!)

Keep yourself alive wow, keep yourself alive
Oh take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied

Do you think you're better every day?
No I just think down road just lead into my grave

Keep yourself alive come on, keep yourself alive
Ooh you take your time and take my money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive come on, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive (come on come on) keep yourself alive
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 will survive
Keep you satisfied
Keep yourself alive ...

Doing All Right

-
by May & Staffell

Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today I know what I'm doing
Gotta feeling I should be doing all right
Doing all right

Where will I be this time tomorrow?
Jumped in joy or sinking in sorrow?
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right

Should be waiting for the sun
And looking round to find the words to say
Should be waiting for the skies to clear
There ain't time in all the world
Shoud be waiting for the sun
And anyway I got to hide away

Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today God knows what I'm doing
Anyway I should be doing all right
Doing all right

Doin' all right

Great King Rat

-
by Mercury

Great King Rat died today
Born on the twenty first of May
Died just forty four on his birthday
Every second what he swore
Yes he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law

Wouldn't you like to know?
Oh wouldn't you like to know people?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you
Would you like to see?

Now hear this
Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg, will I borrow?
I don't care I don't care anyway
Come on come on the time is right
The man is evel and that is right
I told oh yes I told and that's no lie
Oh no no

Wouldn't you like to know?
Oh wouldn't you like to know?
Oh wouldn't you like to know?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you
Would you like to see? Show me!

Wouldn't you like to know?
Oh wouldn't you like to know people? (people)
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you
Would you like to see? Hit it!

Now listen all you people
Put out the good and keep the bad
Don't believe all you read in the Bible
You sinners get in line
Same's you leave far behind
Very soon you're gonna be his disciple

Don't listen to what mama says
Not a word not a word mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival (sure!)
The great Lord before He died
Knelt sinners by his side
And said you're goin' to realise tomorrow

No I'm not gonna tell you
What you already know
'Cause time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come on, come on the time is right
That evil man will fight
I told you once before (and that's no lie)
Ooh hear rhythm ...

Ah wouldn't you like to know?
Ah wouldn't you like to know?
Just like I said before
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you
Would you like to see?

My Fairy King

-
by Mercury

In the land where horses born with eagle wings
And honey bees have lost their stings
And singing forever to yield
Lions den with fallow deer
And rivers made from wine so clear
Flow on and forever
Dragons fly like sparrows through the air
And baby lambs where something guessed
In a morn ...

(Yeah Fairy King)
My fairy king rules the air and can see things that are not there
(He rules the air and turns the tides)
For you and me to yield
(He guides the winds)
Fairy King he can do right and nothing wrong

When King make this savage in the night
To run like thieve and to kill like knife
To take away the power from the magic hand
To bring about the ruin to the promised land

They turn the milk into sour
Like the blue in the blood of my veins
(Why can't you see it)
Fire burn in a hell with the cry of a screaming pain
(So you let them take me free and let me go)
Sea turns dry no salt from sand
Seasons fly no helping hand
Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eyes

Someone someone has drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Oh mother Mercury (Mercury)
Look what they've done to me (yeah)
I cannot run I cannot hide

The Night Comes Down

-
by May

When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun break in
Lucy was high and so was I dazzling
Holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see

Oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh the night comes down
Ooh and it's dark again

Once I could laugh with everyone
Once I could see the good in me
A Black and the white distinctively colouring
Holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
Nobody can see (you gotta believe)

Oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh the night comes down
Ooh and it's dark again
And it's dark again
And it's dark again

Modern Times Rock'n'Roll

-
by Taylor

Had to make do with a worn out rock and roll scene
The old bop gettin' tired need a rest well you know what I mean
Fifty eight that was great but it's over now and that's all
Somethin' harder's coming up gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya grab you hard make you feel ten feet tall

Well I hope that I make you baby's gonna come along soon
You don't know it could happen any ol' rainy afternoon
With the temperature down and the juke box blowing long fuse
And my musical life's feelin like a long sunday school cruise
And you know there's one thing every single body could use
Yeah listen little baby let me tell you what it's all about

Modern times rock'n'roll
Modern times rock'n'roll

Get you high heat guitar start boots and some groovy clothes
Get a hair piece on your chest to the ring through your nose
Find a nice little man who says he's gonna make you a real big star
Stars in your eyes and ants in your pants think you should go far
Everybody in this bum sucking world gonna know who you are
Look out

Modern times rock and roll

Son and Daughter

-
by May

I want you, ah... woman yeah

Tried to be your son and daughter rolled into one
You said you need cool any man for having your fun
Ooh now didn't you feel surprise to find
The cap just did not fit
The world expects a man to fuck a town and a shovel shit
What'll you do for loving when it's only just begun
I want you to be a woman yeah

Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
An equal people preacher will you lead us all the same
Ooh well I travelled around the world
And found a brand new word for day
Ooh watching the time mustn't linger delight

Ooh what'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came
I want you to be a woman
I want you to be a woman yeah

Ooh gettin' know I gonna save the world
Ooh now it just begun all right

Jesus

-
by Mercury

And then I saw Him in the crowd
A lot of people had gathered round Him
The beggers shouted and the lepers called Him
The old man said nothing
He just stared about Him
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

Then came a man before His feet he fell
Unclean said the leper, rang his bell
Felt the palm of a hand touch his head
Go now go now you're a new man instead
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethelehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was the leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down

It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethelehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was the leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
