Keep It Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, in her two pound coat
She really thinks she's cloaked in mystery
She's actin' like some character from Agatha Christie
I got a pain in my shoes and all I wanna do is dance
Uh-oh, I can remember those carefully sharpened eyeballs
Sparkling like bloodshot diamonds in the snowfall
She always said she thinks she knows where things are roughly at
Well maybe she does, but then she says
Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
Does it let you down, I heard it let you down - sometimes
Snap me in your breach, I want to be your bullet
I want a little kiss that's gonna take my breath away
And every lover tries to do things in a different way
Ah-hey-hey-hey
Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
Does it let you down - I heard it let you down - sometimes
Snap me in your breach, I want to be your bullet
I want a little kiss that's gonna take my breath away
And every lover tries to do things in a different way
But that's what they all say
Give it up, give it up - give it up, give it up
Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
But does it let you down, I heard it let you down - sometimes
Does it feel nice - Is it alright, I heard it let you down - sometimes
Can you keep it up - quite nice, I heard it's quite nice - alright
Is it alright - quite nice, I heard it let you down...
Give it up - can you keep it up - Sometimes - I heard it let you down
Alright - Can you keep it up - All night - I heard it let you down
Quite nice - Can you keep it up - I heard it let you down
Can you keep it up - I heard it let you down
Can you keep it up
