Needle And The Damage Done

Nej, ikke endnu et indlæg i dopingdebatten, derimod titlen på en Neil Young-sang, jeg elsker. 28. august i Horsens, Neil Young & his Electric Band, det bliver stort! Sidst jeg så ham var på Roskilde med Booker T & the MG’s en gang tilbage i 90′erne. Det står stadig som en magisk koncert. Anmeldelserne fra årets Roskilde Festival har været overstrømmende, se eksempelvis hvad Politikens Erik Jensen skrev. Rust Never Sleeps…

Her er teksten, i øvrigt. Smertefuldt smuk:

I caught you knockin’
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don’t understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I’ve seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie’s
like a settin’ sun.
