Sir Geoffrey Langdon Keynes (/ˈkeɪnz/ KAYNZ; 25 March 1887, Cambridge – 5 July 1982, Cambridge) was an English biographer, surgeon, physician, scholar and bibliophile. He was the younger brother of the economist John Maynard Keynes.
Geoffrey Keynes was the son of John Neville Keynes, an economics lecturer at the University of Cambridge and Florence Ada Brown, a successful author and a social reformer. His older brother was the economist John Maynard Keynes and his sister Margaret married the Nobel Prize–winning physiologist Archibald Hill.
He was educated at Rugby School, where he became friends with Rupert Brooke and was appointed literary executor for the estate of Brooke's death in 1915.
He graduated from Pembroke College, Cambridge, and then qualified as a surgeon with the Royal College of Surgeons in London. He served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I and then worked as a consultant surgeon, becoming an expert in blood transfusion.
During World War II, Keynes was a consulting surgeon to the Royal Air Force. In 1944 he was promoted to the rank of acting air vice-marshal.
Your Town
I left my home
And I came to live here in your town
Now I sit alone
As the rain falls hard here on your town
You've got your friends here
You've got family
You take me for granted
'Cause you've got me
Here in your town
In your town
Here in your town
I hold your forte down
I wash I dry your clothes
And I've been a good sport for heaven knows
You've got your artist cooperative
And your social set
This ain't the way I was supposed to live
I truly regret
Being here in your town
In your town
Here in your town
I hardly see you but I think it's worse when I do
You say you still love me but how can you?
When you always find something other than me
Like drinking with your mates until quarter to three
Here in your town
Out on your town
