The album Neil Young won't re-release: Times Fades Away:::::::Last Dance and Don't Be Denied (with lyrics)

Neil Young has re-released and often remastered most of his music. He has even released some albums he didn't much care for. In some ways, the album Time Fades Away is a disaster: out of tune singing, guitars out of tune, mike bumps, etc. But it is is raw Neil Young, albeit, without Crazy Horse.

Time Fades Away has always felt like a crude companion piece to an album that is arguably his best of all time: Tonight's The Night. I loved that album for its spirit and passion, and because the Harvest fans considered it such a slap in the face. Of course, they hadn't yet heard albums like Weld or Year of the Horse. Time Fades Away also includes one of his most beautiful songs of all time: The Bridge. I suspect he may include the album, or parts of it, in his Archives project whenever it finally comes out (disappointingly, it may be released only on Blu-Ray discs).

Don't Be Denied:




Don't Be Denied
Music and lyrics by Neil Young

When I was a young boy,
My mama said to me
Your daddy's leavin' home today,
I think he's gone to stay.
We packed up all our bags
And drove out to Winnipeg.

When we got to Winnipeg
I checked in to school.
I wore white bucks on my feet,
When I learned the golden rule.
The punches came fast and hard
Lying on my back
in the school yard.

Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.

Well pretty soon I met a friend,
He played guitar.
We used to sit
on the steps at school
And dream of being stars.
We started a band,
We played all night.

Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.

Oh Canada
We played all night
I really hate to leave you now
But to stay just wouldn't be right.
Down in Hollywood
We played so good

The businessmen crowded around
They came to hear the golden sound
There we were on the Sunset Strip,
Playing our songs
for the highest bid.
We played all night
The price was right.

Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.
Don't be denied, don't be denied.

Well, all that glitters isn't gold
I know you've heard
that story told.
And I'm a pauper
in a naked disguise
A millionaire
through a business man's eyes.
Oh friend of mine
Don't be denied.


Last Dance:



Last Dance
Music and Lyrics by Neil Young

Wake up! It's a Monday morning
No time left to say goodbye
Can't breathe
and the lights are changing.
You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin'
Oh no, oh no.

Headlights,
make it home by sundown
Feeling that the day is through
Return back
to where you come from
You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin'
Oh no, oh no.

You wake up in the mornin'
And the sun's comin' up.
Its been up for hours
and hours and hours
And hours and hours and hours
It's been up for hours
and hours and hours
And you light up the stove
And the coffee cup, its hot.
And the orange juice
is cold, cold, cold
Monday morning,
Wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up
Its time to go,
Time to go to work.

You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin'
Oh no, oh no.
No, no, no.
