Young, Neil - Fuckin' Up Lyrics






Mindless drifter on the road
Carry such an easy load
It's how you look,
and how you feel
You must have
a heart of steel.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

I can see you on a hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath
your flowing gown
Only I could
bring you down.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Dogs that lick
and dogs that bite
Hounds that howl
through the night
Broken leashes
are all over the floor
Keys left hanging
in a swinging door.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Keep fuckin' up!

Young, Neil Fuckin' Up Comments
  1. A.... -....

    Why do I? And continue to fk up! Go on Neil Young tell them how it is! Great song

  2. H.... ....

    That last drop D note ringing out at the end!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

  3. b.... ....

    ...by voting for Democrats....

  4. S.... S....

    Agent "Smith is really good at the guitar :P

  5. B.... R....

    Grazie mille, sono happy to have found this album here, i have lost all my cd's (and my house) at un earthquake in Italy and this album is wunderful, make's me happy

  6. l.... 5....

    No wonder they call him the godfather of grunge

  7. F.... R....

    I think that the best version of this song is the one in the "Arc\Weld" album.

  8. B.... ....

    In my religion...there is only two comandments
    First: Neil Young is God
    Second :Thou shall have no Gods before Black Sabbath.

  9. S.... J....

    Fuck, play this one at my funeral.

  10. A.... W....

    Great man ! Great everything about this man . keep it up Niel we will always love your .Wild and Crazy music .Your one of a kind .😎

  11. T.... B....

    Really this is just a form of graffiti or sand mandala. I also am a writer, primarily of children's fiction.

  12. T.... B....

    One of those things that I've collected over the years is other people's marbles. Some are newer but some are really old- carved from agate and made from clay. I never buy them, my dad gives them to me from his travels to garage and estate sales and I find them everywhere. I've found them in backyard garden at this house and at my old house, on the street, in parks, I even found one on my last trip to South America by the Tacuarembo River next to a bunch of wildflowers and river snail shells. Its amazing how easy it is to lose those things.

  13. T.... B....

    If someone else fucks this shit up- then you can't blame me- I'm off the hook. If you are not compassionate towards others and cannot find it in you to help others, then no pearly gates will ever open. It really doesn't matter who I am, but who you really are.

  14. T.... B....

    Ever heard of Fire on the Mountain Neil? Apparently there were a bunch of little school boys running around with matches... and then there was also a left handed monkey wrench... but after having my own home and children burn up- I can certainly sympathize with others who've watched everything they have go up in smoke and turn to ash. Everything that God says through your mouths comes true on some level or another- and then you wonder why you are lying in your own burned out basement one day. But that is some parallel track, isn't it? Is it a train or an 8 track?

  15. G.... W....

    Well I hope Neil Young will remember...a southern man wore his likeness on a t-shirt...SWEET!!

  16. J.... A....

    He invented the "Grunge" sound..

  17. J.... B....

    18 outta high school. Cranking ragged glory everywhere..1990. When i lose my keys i always know last place to look is in a swingin door. Viva Neil

  18. M.... E....

    I love it when Neil rocks out!

  19. B.... M....

    Great song. I give the drummer a pass for having a CCCP T-shirt on.

  20. e.... ....

    never heard this before. fun song.

  21. J.... B....

    Oh fuck yeah!!! He is sexy as hell in this video!!! If I do say so myself!!!

  22. R.... ....

    I have to ask myself this all the time..

  23. C.... S....

    Awesome.

  24. s.... ....

    Neil with the Danelectro shirt on.

  25. A.... L....

    I wrote two pages about how great Neil Young is. His life, gifted singer and writer. Marriages and divorces. He helped the farmers greatly through concerts to make $ to start over with gardens to feed their families and sell what they grew. Then I take it back to the beginning to reread what I wrote. Where in the hell did

  26. L.... G....

    I love this F!#*in Up! Great song! Great Hero!

  27. f.... ....

    with kick ass Crazy Horse !too !

  28. F.... A....

    All I can think of when I see this video is that Steve Bushemi meme "How do you do, fellow kids?"
    This is Neil Young trying to remain relevant to kids of the 90s.

  29. E.... R....

    Classic song.

  30. S.... H....

    This is AWESOME! 48 year Neil Fan!

  43. M.... ....

    This video is for all you Trump voters, you fucked up comrades.

    M.... ....

    M.... ....

    Neil Young dedicates Fuckin' Up to Bill Clinton - 1992

    M.... ....

    Haha, awkward MurkinMuffly. 😂😂😂

    M.... ....

    I ain't your comrade, shithead.

  44. S.... C....

    After Harvest Neil Young put out a ton of garbage.... like about 50 albums worth of noisy and grungy garbage. Everybody knows this is nowhere.... after the Gold Rush and harvest are easily his best work and are classics. The rest of his offerings are shit...not to mention he's a hardcore liberal who thinks Obama was the best president ever. Neil Young is a burnout.

    S.... C....

    Because your illustrious music career proves otherwise ?.....

    S.... C....

    Stan Campbell u hate liberals.? What are you doing on this page. ? This way to the Trump pages >>>
    @# dumb as a stick
    # wishes he was cool enough to be a rock star 🌟 instead of a cheesey wanna be politician who has no qualifications...#,bye,bye kisses 😘

    S.... C....

    You should listen to the other albums before speak

    S.... C....

    you know what they say about opinions "eh"

  45. H.... T....

    When released in 1990, I got it immediately. Never regret it. "Dance of the Neanderthals". Epic end.

  46. I.... C....

    awesome guitarist and musician !!

  47. M.... W....

    The anthem of every teenager and young adult all over the world.

    M.... W....

    im 61 still my song lol

    M.... W....

    Amen bro

    M.... W....

    And a quite a number of late sixties fuck ups, too.

    M.... W....

    And 63 year-olds!

    M.... W....

    and 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc.

  48. O.... ....

    Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way ...

  49. J.... S....

    no bullshit. nothing hidden behind clever turns of phrase. using words like blunt objects. "Why do I keep fuckin up?" what he feels so what he says. no bullshit.

  50. R.... A....

    haha Love this song I felt like this my whole life!!!

  51. P.... ....

    Neil Young is one of the few genuinely authentic artists out there. Long may he live!

    P.... ....

    Hell yeah man your so right!!!!

    P.... ....

    Propjoe10
    He will NEVER DIE

  52. C.... D....

    story of my life

  53. K.... B....

    The first album I got from my now deceased brother. Cinnamon Girl..So many reasons he will always rise above all other artists..There are many great artists that I love but none give me the gut wrenching feelings of Neil's work

  54. K.... B....

    His beautiful voice will never cease to amaze me..!!!

  55. b.... T....

    you can't get much kooler than 90's neil

    b.... T....

    He was the God of cool. Still is.

    b.... T....

    he invented cool .. even before chuck norris heard of it ..

  56. F.... V....

    ...Yeah... why do I...?!

  57. B.... B....

    comatose but walking still 

  58. D.... L....

    NEIL !!! 

  59. S.... B....

    There are two songs that are the theme songs of my life.  This one and If You're Gonna be Dumb You Gotta be Tough.  I quit asking why a long time ago.  The answer, I have to quote Popeye "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam."

  60. H.... M....

    ragged glory is awesome!!!!!

    H.... M....

    Probably the only release that can stand beside anything from his 70's catalogue.....

  61. L.... A....

    lol dont fear the reaper

    L.... A....

    I guess you missed it. If you got a bone to pick with someone, go somewhere else.

    L.... A....

    OK, thanks for the advice.

  62. s.... ....

    Ezt a szakadt,mocsok zenét...Imádom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THX!

  63. J.... ....

    'Neil is God' - God

    J.... ....

    Neil > God

    J.... ....

    "No, I'm not." Neil

    J.... ....

    JK1 and even god cannot play guitar near as well.

  64. c.... ....

    I bought this album when it came out...great !!!!!!!!!!

  65. m.... ....

    Cold beer + Neil Young = Ignorant bliss

  66. w.... ....

    From a stupid phrase to write something this COOL is an amazing feat. People like Neil & David Bowie keep fuckin' it up in a good meaning of the word. :)

  67. R.... C....

    Fantastic.

  68. S.... B....

    This song and If You're Gonna be Dumb are the theme songs to my life. I wouldn't have any other way. I know things would be easier if I followed the rules and did what I was told but it's just not worth it to me. I would rather spend my life as that weird outcast that no one gets.

    S.... B....

    Awesome artist! just awesome..

  69. t.... ....

    its called adblock

  70. m.... ....

    Love this music. It gets rid of all the bad shit in my system. Beautiful

  71. M.... ....

    Why do I keep fuckin' up?!?!? hehe

  72. A.... E....

    I don't know why.

  73. P.... r....

    The songtext of like a hurriance, or cowgirl in the sand is much better than f....up, or Neil's Greendale or Ragged Glory album, The chord's of this song are to easy for a good musician like Neil Young. I like some of his electric songs but this one isn't so good. It's a songe made for MONEY!!!!!

  74. D.... ....

    Are you taking out your personal problems on him? Your comment only makes sense if we assume you're projecting.

  75. D.... ....

    He already gave you those. He has something for everyone and it's all good. Just not all for you.

  76. S.... M....

    When I was in early high school I only knew of quiet Neil. Gordon Gano from the Violent Femmes guest programed this on Rage one night. It was my intro to Crazy Horse. I never looked back......Just saw him play it in Melbourne last night. I was 3 metres from the stage. So amazing.

  77. D.... B....

    she obviosely dont like good music,between her ears is a waste of space

  78. P.... r....

    The best times are the 70's for him. It's like guns n roses noise, grunge punk
    Give me a beatifull folk song like Heart of gold or ohio.!!!

  79. X.... ....

    I'm here because of Pearl Jam :O

  80. b.... ....

    Caveman, this is one of my three theme songs. The others are Freebird and Simple Man.

  81. D.... ....

    AHAHAH I didn't get an ad

  82. c.... ....

    This is the theme song of my life.

  83. j.... ....

    Man- you're right. I only hope Neil and the Horse get royalty payments. Somehow I doubt it.

  84. C.... ....

    Super Troll Bitch!

  85. d.... ....

    I saw them in Cleveland the other day and the version they played was way better than this.

  86. M.... V....

    kako sipuje čovek ;D

  87. s.... f....

    Bravo bate

  88. S.... ....

    only Neil could pull ths off.
