Keep On Going
Frumpy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In her pocket toothbrush and soap
She's waiting for somebody
Who gives her bread for her love and sweet honey
No matter how it seems to be
'Cause she's a maid of sexuality
She keeps on walking
She keeps on walking down the road
So keep on
So keep on, keeping on
So keep on walking
So keep on
Keep on going
Kepp on going
Well, keep on going
For I don't mind
For I don't mind
'Cause I don't mind
Everybody knows his name
'Cause everybody say he's the king of game
Lots of fools have tried his magic art
But they got mad
But they got mad
They got mad
So they got mad
So they got mad before they start
So if you play with him you'll fall with a prod
So watch it
So watch it
So watch it, oh watch it, he's got eyes like a hawk
So watch it
So watch it
So watch it baby
Ow, yeah
So keep on, keeping on
So keep on, keeping on
So keep on, keeping on
So keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep
So keep on
So keep on walking
So keep on
For I don't mind
So walk on down the road
In your pocket toothbrush and soap
You're waiting for somebody
For somebody to love
To love
To love
To love
For sweet loving
For sweet love
So watch it
So watch it
So watch it, baby
So watch it, watch it
I don't mind
I don't care
What you're doing, baby
The song "Keep On Going" by Frumpy tells a story of a woman who is walking down the road with only her toothbrush and soap in her pocket, waiting for someone to provide her with bread and sweet honey in exchange for her love. Despite her situation, the lyrics suggest that she is confident in her sexuality and is not afraid to continue on her journey. The chorus emphasizes the theme of perseverance, encouraging the listener to keep walking and keep going, no matter what obstacles come their way.
The second verse of the song introduces a mystery man who has earned a reputation as the "king of game", with eyes like a hawk. The lyrics caution the listener against trying to play his "magic art" as it will result in their downfall. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and a final reminder to "watch it" and remain vigilant.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that they reflect the struggles and challenges faced by women in a patriarchal society. The woman in the song is portrayed as vulnerable and in need of protection from a man who may try to take advantage of her. At the same time, the lyrics suggest that women should not be ashamed of their sexuality and should be empowered to keep on going despite the obstacles they face.

The great album "By The Way", of which this song is, is from 1972, but otherwise of course thanks for the upload!
The second album "2" and the three-part song "Rosalie" (Part 1, Otium & Part 2) from their first album "All Things Will Be Changed" by this German "Krautrock" band FRUMPY are also fantastic.
(Incidentally, it wasn't until some time after its formation that the band realized that their name was not very flattering, and the band name is not a play on words with the name of the singer Inga Rumpf, as is often claimed, because Inga only became a member of the band later.)
MeloLand
Wonderful band.
cosmotcat
