Keep Up

Thea Gilmore


Strip the sky I will hang out of the window 
See its pink veneer 
Hear the motorway soprano 
And the Front Street road pitches to the river bank 
The drivers side is hanging off and rusted 
And as for me I don't want to get adjusted 
So I'll head out of this cage before they shut the gate 

Keep up oh 
Keep up 

Mr. White boy he's worth a packet 
But poor Joe's pickin' fleas off his mohair jacket 
Teaching them trapeze every Saturday in the square 
And I don't know why she's doing what she's doing 
Yeah I'm confused is this rack or is this ruin 
Call me when you decide you want her knees up round your ears 

Keep Up oh 
Keep up 

Joe shakes his head says he don't know where the bones is 
You'll be six feet down before you catch up with the Jones's 
And there you are planning your big getaway so 
Strip the sky I will hang out of the window 
See its pink veneer 
Hear the motorway soprano 
And the front street road pitches to the river bank
