Neil Young Quotes

If you guarantee the postage, I'll mail you back the key.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

I never believed in much,
But I believed in you.

And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing.

I have seen you in the movies,
And in those magazines at night.
I saw you on the barstool,
When you held that glass so tight.

Need distraction
Need romance and candlelight
Need random violence
Need entertainment tonight
Need the evidence
Want the testimony of
Expert witnesses
On the brutal crimes of love.

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay.
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away.
My my, hey hey.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you.
I need someone to love me
The whole day through.
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.

Shelter me from the powder
And the finger
Cover me with the thought
That pulled the trigger
Think of me
As one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone.

I'm not going back to Woodstock for a while,
Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile,
I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day,
No, I don't think I'll be goin' back that way.

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

I'm singin' this borrowed tune I took from the Rolling Stones,
Alone in this empty room, too wasted to write my own.

I've been flyin' down the road,
And I've been starvin' to be alone,
Independent from the scene that I've known.

Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load,
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I've been standing on the sound
Of some open-hearted people going down.

There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowin' that you'd gone.
