Keep It Close Songtext

Keep It Close Songtext
Hello, yeah this for the 98s and everyone else who relates to
The place we call home
London
What you need is what you want,
Don′t let them tell you that it's not
We run the city round the clock,
While the others sit and watch,
Telling us that love is dangerous,
The only danger is the cost,
You might be safer when you′re lost
But then you can't play your part,
No more running from your past
Cause It'll find you in the dark
Offline, when you′re climbing for the stars,
Writing down the parts that can heal your heart,
MAN
Why you man so relaxed?
If you want it go and get it
You′re the one and don't forget it, yeah
Morpheus with the message, yeah
So much power in a sentence, yeah
Take your flowers when you get them, yeah
Claim my health and my wealth then
I′m moving to Japan without a mention, yeah
Take your pain as a lesson
That's how you rise above it
I′ll be good and that's a promise,
And If you like it, then I love it
Keep it, keep it, keep it close
From the clones
Come like sheep
Keep on, keep on throwing stones,
Watch us grow
From your streets
From your streets
Yeah, I′m different from you minute man
Less hands, but bigger plans
Things are shifting like a pit of sand,
That'll turn to glass, when it's in demand
Face yourself,
Find your role and then play it well
You know your soul has a fragrance
Left behind when you′re vacant
They say let it shine, when the better times
Come jetting by, like the enterprise
When it′s payday,
I'm not sending fines,
I′ll just turn up
Have the whole team screaming mayday,
That's the safe play,
When they play games for your names sake
Wait
Keys kept inside the cage
You′re free, all you need to say
Is we never needed fate,
If they're filled with hate
Tell em′ they can starve
Let them eat cake
Never stuck in place
Looking both ways
Just in case you can't
Look out for the next
Try and stick your neck
Hoping for the best
do it for the art
Yeah, I do it for the art
And yeah, I knew this from the start
And yeah, I'm moving like a bard
Of London
Where the suits can′t even grasp the concept
We contribute all the laughs and substance
And that′s the problem
I stand among them
Yeah, we're the constant
Move like the sea
Stand tall like the forest
I′m feeding my conscience,
Keeping it close
Keep it, keep it, keep it close
From the clones
Come like sheep
Keep on, keep on throwing stones,
Watch us grow
From your streets
From your streets
The place we call home
London
What you need is what you want,
Don′t let them tell you that it's not
We run the city round the clock,
While the others sit and watch,
Telling us that love is dangerous,
The only danger is the cost,
