NEIL YOUNG
01-OUT ON THE WEEKEND – La M
Neil Young
Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.
See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.
She got pictures on the wall,
they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road
trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.
The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.
See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.02-THE NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE – Re M
Neil Young
I caught you knocking at my cellar door.
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band.
I watched the needle take another man.
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I loved the man.
I know that some of you don't understand,
Milk-blood to keep from running out.
I('ve) seen the needle and the damage done,
A little part of it in everyone,
But every junkie's like a setting sun.
I('ve) seen the needle and the damage done,
A little part of it in everyone,
every junkie's like a setting sun.
03-HEART OF GOLD – Do M
Neil Young
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold.
And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I've been in my mind, It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold.
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold.
You keep me searching and I'm growing old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
04-AFTER THER GOLDRUSH – Re M
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming,
sayin' something about a queen.
There were passants singin' and drummers drummin'
and the archer split the tree.
There's a fanfare blowin' to the sun
that was floating on the breeze…
Look at Mother Nature on the run
in the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
in the nineteen seventies.
I was lyin' in a burned out basement
with the full moon in my eyes.
I was hopin' for replacement
when the sun burst through the sky.
There was a band playin' in my head
and I felt like getting high.
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie.
Thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie.
tuba & piano solo
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
in the yellow haze of the sun,
there were children cryin' and colours flyin'
all around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
the loading had begun.
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
to a new... home.05-HARVEST MOON – Mi m
Neil Young
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.
06-HARVEST – Re M
Neil Young
Did I see you down
in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there
at the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rain.
Did she wake you up
to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.
Did I see you walking
with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face
in a lonely place
When you could understand?
Did she wake you up
to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.
Will I see you give
more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past
will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?
Did she wake you up
to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.07-BIRDS – Sol M
Neil Young
Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
in your wings my little one
This special
morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
08-OHIO – Re m
Neil Young
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Neil Young
Oh Alabama
The devil fools with the best laid plan.
Swing low Alabama
You got spare change
You got to feel strange
And now the moment
is all that it meant.
Alabama,
you got the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track
Oh Alabama
Banjos playing through the broken glass
Windows down in Alabama.
See the old folks
tied in white ropes
Hear the banjo.
Don't it take you down home?
---Guitar solo---
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track
Oh Alabama.
Can I see you and shake your hand.
Make friends down in Alabama.
I'm from a new land
I come to you and
see all this ruin
What are you doing
Alabama?
You got the rest of the union
to help you along
What's going wrong?
12-WORDS (BETWEEN THE LINES OF AGE) – La m
Neil Young
Someone and someone
were down by the pond
Looking for something
to plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields
They were turning the soil
I'm sitting here hoping
this water will boil
When I look through the windows
and out on the road
They're bringing me presents
and saying hello.
Singing words, words
between the lines of age.
Words, words
between the lines of age.
If I was a junkman
selling you cars,
Washing your windows
and shining your stars,
Thinking your mind
was my own in a dream
What would you wonder
and how would it seem?
Living in castles
a bit at a time
The King started laughing
and talking in rhyme.
Singing words, words
between the lines of age.
Words, words
between the lines of age.13-HAWKS & DOVES – Sol M
Neil Young
Ain't getting old,
ain't getting younger though
Just getting used
to the lay of the land
I ain't tongue-tied,
just don't got nothin' to say
I'm proud to be livin' in the U.S.A.
Ready to go,
willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet love
can dance another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.
In history
we painted pictures grim
The devil knows
we might feel that way again
The big wind blows,
so the tall grass bends
But for you don't
push too hard my friend.
Ready to go,
willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet wife
can dance another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.
(+ 1 tone)
Got people here
down on their knees and prayin'
Hawks and doves
are circlin' in the rain
Got rock and roll,
got country music playin'
If you hate us, you just
don't know what you're sayin'.
Ready to go,
willin' to stay and pay
U.S.A., U.S.A.
So my sweet love
can dance another free day
U.S.A., U.S.A.
14-UNION MAN – Sol M
Neil Young
I'm proud to be a union man
I make those meetings when I can, yeah
I pay my dues ahead of time
When the benefits come
I'm last in line, yeah.
I'm proud to be a union man.
Every fourth Friday at 10 am
There's a local meeting
of the A F of M, yeah!
This meeting will now come to order
Is there any new business?
Yeah, I think 'Live music are better'
Bumper stickers should be issued.
What was that?
'Live music is better' bumper stickers
Should be issued
15-COMIN' APART AT EVERY NAIL – Sol M
Neil Young
It's awful hard to find a job
(comin' apart at every nail)
On one side the government,
the other the mob
(comin' apart at every nail)
Hey, hey ain't that right
(comin' apart at every nail)
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight.
(comin' apart at every nail)
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart
at every nail.
Way up on the old dew line
(comin' apart at every nail)
Some of the boys were feelin' fine
(comin' apart at every nail)
A big light flashed across the sky
(comin' apart at every nail)
But somethin' else went slippin' by
(comin' apart at every nail)
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
(comin' apart at every nail)
The brass was a wonderin' what went wrong.
(comin' apart at every nail)
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart
at every nail.
Hey hey, ain't that right
(comin' apart at every nail)
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight.
(comin' apart at every nail)
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.16-BIRDS – Sol M
Neil Young
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over…
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
17-HUMAN HIGHWAY – Sol M
Neil Young
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen.
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind.
I come down from the crooked mansion
I went lookin' for the D.J.'s daughter
Since that day I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line.
Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind.
Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind.
18-CRIPPLE CREEK FERRY – Sol M
Neil Young
Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze.
All alone the captain stands
Hasn't heard from his deck hands.
The gambler tips his hat
and walks towards the door.
It's the second half of the cruise.
And you know he hates to lose.
Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down it's a mighty tight squeeze. (bis)
You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the Crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone
(Spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away19-DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN – C1 Si M7
Neil Young
Old man lying' by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking From the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down The alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Blind man running through The light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through
The window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying In a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
20-I BELIEVE IN YOU – C1 Fa M
Neil Young
Now that you found yourself
Losing your mind
Are you here again?
Finding that what
You once thought was real
Is gone, and changing?
Now that you made yourself
love me,
Do you think
I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you?
Coming to you at night
I see my questions
I feel my doubts
Wishing that maybe in a year or two
We could laugh and let it all out
Now that you made yourself
love me,
Do you think
I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you
21-ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY?-Re M
Neil Young
Slipping and sliding
and playing domino
Lefting and then Righting,
it's not a crime you know.
You gotta tell your story boy,
before it's time to go.
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?
I was talkin' to the preacher,
said God was on my side
Then I ran into the hangman,
he said it's time to die
You gotta tell your story boy,
you know the reason why.
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country
because it's time to go?
22-THERE'S A WORLD – Re M
Neil Young
There's a world you're living in
No one else has your part
All God's children in the wind
Take it in and blow hard.
Look around it, have you found it
Walking down the avenue?
See what it brings, could be good things
In the air for you.
We are leaving. We are gone.
Come with us to all alone.
Never worry. Never moan.
We will leave you all alone.
In the mountains, in the cities,
You can see the dream.
Look around you. Has it found you?
Is it what it seems?
23-A MAN NEEDS A MAID – Re m
Neil Young
My life is changing in so many ways,
I don't know who to trust anymore.
There's a shadow running through my days,
Like a beggar going from door to door.
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid,
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.
A maid.
A man needs a maid.
A maid.
It's hard to make that change,
When life and love turn strange.
And cold.
To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be part of.
When will I see you again?
A while ago somewhere, I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that I could understand.
A maid.
A man needs a maid.
A maid.
A man needs a maid.
When will I see you again?
24-LITTLE WING – Re M
Neil Young
All her friends
call her Little Wing
But she flies rings
around them all
She comes to town
when the children sing
And leaves them feathers
if they fall
She leaves her feathers
if they fall
Little Wing,
don't fly away
When the summer
turns to fall
Don't you know
some people say
The winter is the best time
of them all
Winter is the best of all.
25-STAYIN' POWER – Sol M
Neil Young
Our love, baby, feels so right
When you're smilin' in the morning light
I ain't leavin' no way
'Cause we got stayin' power
You and I
Stayin' power through thick and thin.
Stayin' power
You and I
Stayin' power through thick and thin.
Gold and diamonds say you're mine
But true love opens the gates of time
And as we go on our way
We got stayin' power
You and I
Stayin' power through thick and thin
Stayin' power
You and I
Stayin' power through thick and thin.26-COASTLINE – Do M
Neil Young
Down on the coastline,
Highway One
People headin' out
for the sun
That's where I found you,
long time ago.
You're my angel,
you're my queen
You're my best friends
in between
We don't back down
from no trouble
We do get up
in the mornin'.
Oooweee, baby,
what a night
That old moon sure
is shinin' bright
27-DON'T CRY NO TEARS – La M
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Don't cry
no tears
around me
Don't cry
no tears
around me
'Cause when all the water's gone
The feeling lingers on
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me.
Well I wonder who's with her tonight?
And I wonder who's holding her tight?
But there's nothing I can say
To make him go away
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me.
28-I BELIEVE IN YOU – C1 Fa M
Neil Young
Now that you found yourself
Losing your mind
Are you here again?
Finding that what
You once thought was real
Is gone, and changing?

Neil Young
In a matter of time,
There'll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast,
You're gonna see him
Up close for a minute or two
While the ground cracks under you.
By the look in your eyes
You'd think that it was a surprise
But you seem to forget
Something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees.
And you now, L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Well, it's hard to believe
So you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door
That you heard it all before
Oh it's so good to know
That it's all just a show for you.
But when the suppers are planned
And the freeways are crammed
And the mountains erupt
And the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you.
L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?30-ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART – La M
Neil Young
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose the down that he's found.
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
31-TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT – Re m
Neil Young
Tonight's the night,
tonight's the night (X4)
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van.
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands.
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long.
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
tonight's the night (X2)
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died
out on the mainline.
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
tonight's the night (X2)
Piano & guitar Break
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van.
Well, early in the morning
at just about the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon.
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
tonight's the night… (X6)32-WHEN YOU DANCE YOU CAN REALLY LOVE –
Re m
Neil Young
When you dance,
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance,
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?
I've got something to tell you,
you make it show.
Let me come over,
I know you know
When you dance
I can really love.
I can love,
I can really love, I can really love
I can love,
I can really love, I can really love
33-WORLD ON A STRING – Re M
Neil Young
You know I lose,
you know I win
You know I called
for the shape I'm in.
It's just a game
you see me play,
Only real
in the way
That I feel
from day to day.
Although the answer
is not unknown,
I'm searchin', searchin',
and how I've grown.
It's not all right
to say goodbye,
179a-SPEAKIN' OUT – La M
Neil Young
I went to the movie
the other night,
The plot was groovy,
it was out of sight.
I sat with my popcorn,
out lookin' for good times
Lost in the cartoon,
I grabbed the lifeline.
I've been a searcher,
I've been a fool,
But I've been a long time
comin' to you.
I'm hopin' for your love
to carry me through
You're holdin' my baby,
and I'm holdin' you,
And it's all right.
Guitar break
Oh, tell me where
the answer lies.
Is it in the notebook
behind your eyes?
When your decision
comes to view,
I'll be watchin' my TV,
and it'll be watchin' you.
I've been a searcher,
I've been a fool,
But I've been a long time
comin' to you.
I'm hopin' for your love
to carry me through
You're holdin' my baby,
and I'm holdin' you,
Yes I am.
Speakin' out.
193a-ALREADY ONE – Re M
Neil Young
What can I do, what can I say
Running down this suspicious highway
I can't forget how love let me down
And when we meet it still gets in my way.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.
Your laughing eyes, your crazy smile
Every time I look in his face
I can't believe how love lasts a while
And looks like forever in the first place.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.
In my new life I'm travelin' light
Eyes wide open for the next move
I can't go wrong 'til I get right
But I'm not fallin' back in the same groove.
But we're already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one
Our little son won't let us forget.193b-BURNED – Do M
Neil Young
Been burned
And with both feet on the ground,
I've learned
That it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away,
And there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
That it's so confusin',
No time left
And I know I'm losin'.
Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down,
Crashed,
And my ears can't hear a sound.
No use runnin' away,
And there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
That it's so confusin',
No time left
And I know I'm losin'.
Now I'm finding out
That it's so confusin',
No time left
And I know I'm losin'.
Burned,
And with both feet on the ground.
I've learned
That it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away,
And there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
That it's so confusin',
No time left
And I know I'm losin'.194a-CAPTAIN KENNEDY - C1 Mi m
Neil Young
I am a young mariner
headed to war
I'm thinking 'bout my family
and what it was for
There's water on the wood
and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good
My father was a sailor
named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner
to the Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water
for everyone to see
And humiliate that American
Captain Kennedy
I saw him in Nassau
in 1971
His strength was failing
but he still ran a run
He worked 'til his fingers
wore to the bone
To buy that wooden schooner
and sail on his own
He was known in the islands
as hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter
was passing its time
And time flew by faster
with life on the sea
And the days grew shorter
for Captain Kennedy
I am a young mariner
headed to war
I'm thinking 'bout my family
and what it was for
There's water on the wood
and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good194b-CINNAMON GIRL – Re M
Neil Young
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures,
I run in the night
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes,
A bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
And waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures,
I run in the night
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
195a-FIELD OF OPPORTUNITY – Sol M
Neil Young
I've been wrong before
And I'll be there again
I don't have any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
I'm going' back to my house
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early to be leaving here, somehow
Let me bore you with this story
"How my lover let me down"
While I borrow seeds of sadness
From the ground.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
There ain't no way of telling
Where these seeds will rise or when
I'll just wait around 'til springtime
And then, I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
Violin break
When I'm all done cultivatin'
I'll be rockin' on the porch
Tryin' to picture you and where you are
And there'll be no hesitatin'
When Cupid lights the torch
With those headlights comin' down the hill
Between the stars.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
There ain't no way of telling
Where these seeds will rise or when
I'll just wait around 'til springtime
And then, I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.195b-FOUR STRONG WINDS – Do M
Neil Young
Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather is good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go
to workin' for
Still I wish you change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been thru this a hundred
times or more
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change
come what may
If the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever
back this way
If I get there before the snow flies
And the things are looking good
You could meet me if I send you
down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold
way out there
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change
come what may
The good times are all gone
So I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever
back this way
( Instumental )
Still I wish you change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been thru that a hundred
times or more
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change
come what may
If the good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way196a-GOIN' BACK – Sol M
Neil Young
In a foreign land
There were creatures at play
Running hand in hand
Leading nowhere to stay
Driven to the mountains high
They were sunken in the cities deep
Livin' in my sleep.
I feel like goin' back
Back where there's nowhere to stay
When fire fills the sky
I'll still remember that day
These rocks I'm climbin' down
Have already left the ground
Careening through space.
I used to build these buildings
I used to walk next to you
Their shadows tore us apart
And now we do what we do
Driven to the mountains high
Sunken in the cities deep
Livin' in our sleep.
I feel like goin' back
Back where there's nowhere to stay.196b-LOOK OUT FOR MY LOVE – Mi M
Neil Young
There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it.
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' like I do
It's hard for you to see it.
Was I hurt too bad
Can I show you daylight
How could I be sad
When I know that you might.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love.
Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say bad or good.
Silver wings of mornin'
Shinin' in the gray day
While the ice is formin'
On a lonely runway.
Hydraulic wipers pumpin'
'Til the window glistens
Somethin' sayin' somethin'
No one seems to listen.
Men with walkie-talkies
Men with flashlights wavin'
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings.
I'm home again to you babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love.197a-LOST IN SPACE – Fa M
Neil Young
Live with me, live with me
Live with me, live with me
Live with me.
Lost in space
I heard you were lost in space
That's such a lonely place for you to be.
Out of control
Singin' with too much soul
I heard you got out on parole
Workin' for the queen.
Gardening again
Landscape again
Keepin' all the grounds around her clean
Workin' for the queen.
Don't take out the magic pen
Don't draw on the infinity board
Your buildings, if they rise again
Would do much better on the ocean floor
They'll never feel the way they did before
They did before.
Out on the ocean floor, out on the ocean floor
What could be stranger than the unknown danger
That lies on the ocean floor?
Breakers crash on the beach
I count them like lambs in my sleep
They come at me steady
They know I'm not ready
They pound on my mattress door
Have they got a big one in store.
Losing you
I heard I was losing you
That's not the only thing that I got to lose
I got to lose
The deep see blues
Look at these blues
The deep see blues
Live with me, live with me.
198a-MOTORCYCLE MAMA – La M
Neil Young
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I won't need a place to stay.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble when you bring that round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
Well I'm here to deliver
I hope you can read my mail
I just escaped last night
From the memory county jail
I see your box is open
And you flag is up
My message is ready
If there's time enough.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.198b-PEACE OF MIND – La M
Neil Young
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time
You love her so and still you know
That you will never want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still there's just one thing
You haven't got.
Peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face that open space.
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time
When first you gave and shared your soul
Showed her all those things that take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face that open space.
You're lookin' for peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin' for peace of mind.
You know it takes a long, long time
You know it takes a long, long time.
