Rafferty, Gerry - Keep It To Yourself Lyrics
I walk along the street and wonder what to do
I'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brain
But as to how, I haven't a clue
Should I shout at the people who pass me by
Hey folks look at me, I'm no ordinary guy
But she only loved me when the weather was fine.
My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
Keep it to yourself.
On a subway train, I hide from the rain
And take a seat right next to the door
There's a man with a case and as I look at his face
He looks up and I look down
And then we both look away
The train slows down and my head spins ‘round
It's like scene from a one-act play.
My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
Keep it to yourself.
I feel much better when the sun has lost its glow
When the light of day is fading away
And there are shadows wherever I go
Yes the light is fading and I'm masquerading
As a poet with something to say
The inspiration's gone and I can't turn it on
It's been the same since she went away.
My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know
Keep it to yourself.

Rafferty, Gerry Keep It To Yourself Comments
First time I have heard this song. Have to love fate and depression. The irony is that I met her when she had a lead in a one-act play.
Loved his work, from Stuck in the middle to this. Proper poetry in the lyrics and a distinctive style
Gerry is my daily injection. I have a sweet deficiency.
Wonderful song ! and wonderful Artist, his genius left us too early. God bless Gerry Rafferty
The ever wonderful and talented Gerry Rafferty .. RIP
Superb track by a much missed musician.Was fortunate enough to see the Great man in concert at Brighton.A cherished memory.

Great musician, nice voice, fantastic Productions i enjoy to listen and with regrets the man is gone.
Funny how you here a tune and say,"Ya ya... I remember that one."
I hope some day when we're all gone,
we're still allowed to hear Gerry sing, & play...
I grew up around Cleve.,OH., and got to hear many cool people/songs.
Thanks You Tube/Gerry/Friends

His last album was released in 2009 titled "Life Goes On"
Although a very different arrangement from Gerry's original (New Humblebums) version, this is a wonderful performance and has a feel of Paul McCartney at the top of his game.
A class of his own and second to none. A true musician and songwriter.
Genius.
A great upload thank you. Gerry was a master and I miss him. RIP
Fab, cool, funky track from the musical genius that was Gerry Rafferty.....Love it !

RIP Gerry.
Wonderful track.
Thanks Gerry. R.I.P x
