Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance,
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?”

Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?”

It will change you in the middle of the day,
Though your confidence may be shattered,

For the Turnstiles
Song lyrics, On the Beach (1974)

There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
Where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.”

“One of my favorite album covers is On the Beach. Of course that was the name of a movie and I stole it for my record, but that doesn't matter. The idea for that cover came like a bolt from the blue. Gary and I traveled around getting all the pieces to put it together. We went to a junkyard in Santa Ana to get the tail fin and fender from a 1959 Cadillac, complete with taillights, and watched them cut it off a Cadillac for us, then we went to a patio supply place to get the umbrella and table. We picke up the bad polyester yellow jacket and white pants at a sleazy men's shop, where we watched a shoplifter getting caught red-handed and busted. Gary and I were stoned on some dynamite weed and stood there dumbfounded watching the bust unfold. This girl was screaming and kicking! Finally we grabbed a local LA paper to use as a prop. It had this amazing headline: Sen. Buckley Calls For Nixon to Resign. Next we took the palm tree I had taken around the world on the Tonight's the Night tour. We then placed all of these pieces carefully in the sand at Santa Monica beach. Then we shot it. Bob Seidemann was the photographer, the same one who took the famous Blind Faith cover shot of the naked young girl holding the airplane. We used the crazy pattern from the umbrella insides for the inside of the sleeve that held the vinyl recording. That was the creative process at work. We lived for that, Gary and I, and we still do.”

At the top of the stair
With my Indian rug
And a pipe to share.”

Pocahontas
Song lyrics, Rust Never Sleeps (1978)

“We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man.
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand.
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
For the ozone layer.
Got a man of the people,
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
Got roads to drive.”

Neil Young

Rockin' in the Free World
Song lyrics, Freedom (1989)

“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.”

Neil Young

Powderfinger
Song lyrics, Rust Never Sleeps (1978)

“A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night.
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.”

Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice.”

Song lyrics, Neil Young (1968)

With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.”

In the nineteen seventies.”
