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.

Youve given me a head start,

Im brewing up a brainstorm

And we leave the grunges far behind

In the quagmire of the unkempt mind

Cos 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

Youre 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

Its 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

Youve a train to catch

Youve plans to hatch

So lift the latch on the clubhouse door,

Theres 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, burnign burning

you got to keep on burning

Burning, burnign burning

you got to keep on burning

Burning, burnign burning
