keep on burning

edwyn collins

you've given me a head start

i'm brewing up a brainstorm

and we leave the grunges far behind

in the quagmire of the unkempt mind

'cause 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

you're 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

it's 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

you've a train to catch

you've plans to hatch

so lift the latch on the clubhouse door

there's 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

burning burning

you got to keep on burning

burning

burning burning

you got to keep on burning

burning

burning burning
