Edwyn Collins - Keep On Burning
Youve given me a head start,
Im brewing up a brainstorm
And we leave the grunges far behind
In the quagmire of the unkempt mind
Cos it got no style,no elequence,no elegance,no sensuality
All it takes is common sense
For anyone to see
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Youre throwing me a life line,
The way you looking so fine, sublime
From the youngsters whove just learned to shave
To the oldsters raving on the graves
Its the same old story,
Englands glory,
Claming back the Union Jack my arse
Got to prove it together now,
To counteract this class
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning
You wont get far in a cable car
You reach the top, then you had to stop
When you jump back down to the underground
Youve a train to catch
Youve plans to hatch
So lift the latch on the clubhouse door,
Theres a thousand souls out on the floor
Keep Turning
And you keep on learning
And you keep on yearning
And you keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning (to fade)
Im brewing up a brainstorm
And we leave the grunges far behind
In the quagmire of the unkempt mind
Cos it got no style,no elequence,no elegance,no sensuality
All it takes is common sense
For anyone to see
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Youre throwing me a life line,
The way you looking so fine, sublime
From the youngsters whove just learned to shave
To the oldsters raving on the graves
Its the same old story,
Englands glory,
Claming back the Union Jack my arse
Got to prove it together now,
To counteract this class
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning
You wont get far in a cable car
You reach the top, then you had to stop
When you jump back down to the underground
Youve a train to catch
Youve plans to hatch
So lift the latch on the clubhouse door,
Theres a thousand souls out on the floor
Keep Turning
And you keep on learning
And you keep on yearning
And you keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning (to fade)
