Young, Neil - Motion Pictures (For Carrie) Lyrics






Motion pictures
on my TV screen,
A home away from home,
livin' in between
But I hear some people
have got their dream.
I've got mine.

I hear the mountains
are doin' fine,
Mornin' glory
is on the vine,
And the dew is fallin',
the ducks are callin'.
Yes, I've got mine.

Well, all those people,
they think
they got it made
But I wouldn't buy,
sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have
to be like one of them.
I'd rather
start all over again.

Well, all those headlines,
they just bore me now
I'm deep inside myself,
but I'll get out somehow,
And I'll stand before you,
and I'll bring
a smile to your eyes.
Motion pictures,
motion pictures.

  1. H.... B....

    Not only is this Neil's best album, it's one of the top five recordings ever made.

    H.... B....

  2. R.... ....

    You never get over your first love. Carrie Snodgrass was Neil's first wife.

  3. C.... S....

    Sitting on the edge of Ross Lake. Smoking a joint. Fishing line in the water, camp fire crackling behind me, this album playing.... fuuuck ya. soon.

  5. V.... A....

    Il disco più bello di young assieme a tonight's the night e con quello il suo album più disperato. Un capolavoro,oggi più di ieri.

  6. l.... ....

    Love this album but why is there a Cadillac sticking out of the sand on the cover? Anybody know?

    s.... e....

    steve elliot

    He’s trying to say you can’t take it with you maybe? Like his possessions are buried. Idk, just a guess.

    s.... e....

    Back in the 50's cars were designed to look like spaceships/rockets. Do you see the resemblance of a rocket and the rear fender of the cadillac? We killed the Apollo program and were going through the OPEC oil crisis. Cadillacs were pretty much reduced in size by half while Apollo rockets were old news. Maybe it was a comment on the re-orbit and death of either rockets or the death of very cool car design. You decide. Neil always left it up to you. Long may you run is about a girl and/or a car. You decide. That's why it's brilliant.

  9. M.... C....

    I freaking LOVE how this one slides over my whole body n heart...slides like heavy sweet southern honey

  10. H.... J....

    Kevin people, Go eat another Tide pod.

    H.... J....

  11. A.... p....

    This album was you loved it or hated it. It was not after the goldrush or Harvest. My favorite with see the sky about to rain

    A.... p....

    Tonight is my second fav after this you can tell he so wasted but time on bad time for him it's about a death of his friend it's nuts

    A.... p....

    Bullet holes in the mirror he is actually crying throughout that album check it out

    A.... p....

    @David Senger As a kid I bought the album "Tonight the Night" and it came with a huge poster of Neil with that long hair and beard. I wish I still had it.

    A.... p....

    Turnstiles is one of my favorite songs, but this is album is a neil young hangover. I think I read that's literally true (withdrawal period). It sure sounds true.
