Lyrics Edwyn Collins

Edwyn Collins

Keep On Burning

You've given me a headstart

I'm brewing up a brainstorm

And we leave the grunges far behind

In the quagmire of the unkempt minds

'Cause its got no style, no elequence

No elegance no sexuality

All it takes is common sense for anyone to see

As the world keeps turning

You got to keep on learning

You got to keep on yearning

You got to keep on burning

As the 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 lifeline

The way you're looking so fine, sublime

From the youngsters who've just learned to shave

To the oldsters raving on their graves

Its the same old story, Englands glory

Claiming back the Union Jack, my arse

Got to prove it together now

To counteract this class

As the world keeps turning

You got to keep on learning

You got to keep on yearning

You got to keep on burning

As the 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 won't 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 got to keep on learning

And You got to keep on yearning

And You got to keep on burning

As the 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 got to keep on burning

Burning, burning, burning

You got to keep on burning

Burning, burning, burning
