Keep It (2000 Digital Remaster) - Dexy's Midnight Runners

The world lives in your front room

You're sitting happy in gloom

Fate worries you you will not give her room

You give credit for might

Inspiration and sight

But you miss the point

You won't join the fight

You think to use is to lose

So your clinging pulling pleading

Try and keep it safe

Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place

You're feeling a loss

But you're not fit to make it

You offered so much

But you're frightened to take it

It never was really proved

Never was understood

But there really is no virtue in the good

The shoutings so loud

That they'd do better to mime

You're deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme

But secrets in whispers pull you try to tempt you

Try and keep it safe

Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place

You're feeling a loss but you're not fit to make it

You offered so much

But you're frightened to take it

You beg for help and advice how to handle your life

But you dare not move you cannot pay the price

Chances slip you just chatter

Flatter to forget what matters

Spout your lines read all your books

You hear the sounds miss all the hooks

Your best is what you least understand

You hate the graft won't join the race

You're scared to scar your pretty face

Safe now cos your head is in the sand

Keep it
