Sedan Delivery (Live Album Version) Lyrics


Last night I was cool at the pool hall
Held the table for eleven games
Nothing was easier than the first seven
I beat a woman with varicose veinsShe stopped to see herself
In the mirror
Fix her hair and hide heir veins
But she lost the gameNext day I went to the dentist
Pulled some teeth and I lost some blood
We'd like to thank you for the cards you sent us
My wives and I were all choked upI recall how Caesar and Cleo
Made love in the Milky Way
They needed boats and armies to get there
I know there's a better wayI saw the movie and I read the book
But when it happened to me
I sure was glad I had what it took
To get awayGotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away

Gotta get away, gotta get out of here, gotta get awayI'm making another delivery
Of chemicals and sacred roots
I'll hold what you have to give me
But I'll use what I have to useThe lasers are in the lab
The old man is dressed in white clothes
Everybody says he's mad
No one knows the things that he knowsNo one knows, no one knows, no one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows, no one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows, no one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no oneI'm sleepin' in every hallway
I just can't accept the stares
I'm using too many covers
I'm warm and so I don't careI'm thinkin' of no one
In my mind
Sedan delivery is a job I know I'll keep
It sure was hard to findHard to find, hard to find a job, hard to find, hard to find
Harder to find, harder to find
Harder to find, oh harder to find
They're hard to find, they're so hard to find, hard to find, hard to find

Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation. Young was born in Toronto, but moved to the family home of Winnipeg as a child, which is where his music career began. Young began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash as a fourth member in 1969 (forming Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). He forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, releasing his first album in 1968; his career has since spanned over 40 years and 34 studio albums, with a continual and uncompromising exploration of musical styles.

According to Don't Be Denied Songfacts, the 16-year-old Neil was raising chickens and selling the eggs, with plans to go to Ontario Agricultural College and be a farmer. Only his leisure activities foretold his future, when he would hide from his family problems in his room with his transistor radio playing local station CHUM. From this, Young learned admiration for Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course Elvis Presley. In 1958, his father bought Neil his first music instrument, a plastic ukulele. His father would later recall, "He would close the door of his room... and we would hear plunk, pause while he moved his fingers to the next chord, plunk, pause while he moved again, plunk."

In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Neil started his professional music career in the mid-1960s with a number of bands in Canada, including the Squires and later the Mynah Birds, which also included fellow future Buffalo Springfield bassist Bruce Palmer and future funk star Rick James. When the Mynah Birds broke up, Young and Palmer headed to California to meet Stephen Stills, whom he had met in Thunder Bay, and the result was Buffalo Springfield. That band split up after three albums, and Neil soon started his solo career with the release of Neil Young November 12, 1968. The album did not do very well commercially, but included several strong tracks, including "The Loner", said to be a portrait of Stephen Stills. On May 14, 1969 he recruited Crazy Horse and made the critically acclaimed Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. This was a much more consistent album, the first to introduce longstanding collaborators Crazy Horse, and built around the balanced interplay between the guitars of Young, and the talented Danny Whitten. The album also featured two lengthy classics, "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand". The critically acclaimed solo album "After the Gold Rush" came out in 1971, featuring such classic songs as "Southern Man'", "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and "Don't Let it Bring You Down". Harvest followed in 1972 with the hit"Heart of Gold".

During this time he also enjoyed considerable success as a quarter of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Neil's subsequent work has zig-zagged across genres - dabbling in country rock on "Old Ways"; electronics on "Trans"; hooking up with the Shocking Pinks in a homage to old-time Rock 'n' Roll on "Everybody's Rockin'"; creating a wall of feedback on the live Arc-Weld; and cementing his status as Godfather of grunge when collaborating with Pearl Jam on Mirror Ball.

His idiosyncratic approach to genre even led to him being sued by his record company (Geffen) in the 80s for making "uncharacteristic" music.

Young has also dabbled in film, most recently on the album/concert series/dvd Greendale.

66 years and still going strong the very special and often strange Neil Young keeps on making music. His latest release is “Le Noise”.

The film Canadian Bacon includes the line "Canadians are always trying to figure out a lot of ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!"
