Neil Young - Barstool Blues

From Zuma (1975)
---------------------------
Barstool Blues

If I could hold on
to just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow.
Burn off all the fog
And let the sun
through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before I have to go.

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.
And I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means.

Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats.
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths.

@eastshorejohn Because fuck you. That's why.

[stewartakaryan]

his voice is so perfectly imperfect in this i just wish i could sing like this guy...he makes signing an octave higher look soo easy

[ergotistic]

@eastshorejohn - the thing is is that he doesn't sing like shit. How many times do I have to tell my fellow musician friends? There is more passion in that voice than practically any other singer/songwriter. And the writing - My God :)

Great record. Superb tune. Great to quote when no one knows what you are talking about. And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means.

You are so right , He' "Ziggy Stardust"....

His most underestimated tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I listen to this one every time I come home hammered, and airband, so f**kin heart!! especially the second solo break. And then I play it over and over again!!!! Never get sick of this one!

[eastshorejohn]

Why does a guy that sings like s**t resonate so much!
