"Steady as She Goes" is a song originally recorded by The Raconteurs and later covered by Adele (who has collaborated with the group on the track "Many Shades of Black") backstage at Radio One's Big Weekend in 2008. The cover was well-received by the audience.
Adele had to read the lyrics off her phone due to her being unprepared to sing it; it was requested that she perform it at the event.
Settle for a girl
(Settle for a girl)
Neither up or down
(Neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd
(Sell it to the crowd)
That is gathered round
(That is gathered round)
Settle for a girl
(Settle for a girl)
Neither up or down
(Neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd
(Sell it to the crowd)
That is gathered round
(That is gathered round)
So steady as she goes
(Steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes
(Steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes
(Steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes
(Steady as she goes)
Steady as she go
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
