Originally called “Brothers In Rock”, this song written by Norman Blake for and about his best friend, Duglas T. Stewart of BMX Bandits, who was going through relationship troubles.
You had a girlfriend
That wasn't good enough for you
She was younger
But that was old enough you knew
To get undressed for you
Stressed for you
Distorting everything
Became depressed for you
You were changing
Didn't want to stay the same
Re-arranging
Dropped a letter from your name
She'd get uptight with you
Would fight with you
And you would never win
It wasn't right for you
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Not understanding
Had a different point of view
Tried to reach her
When she moved away from you
She was confusing you
Using you
You couldn't understand
Began amusing you
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
{SOLO}
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
{SOLO}
Neil Jung was written by Norman George Blake.
Neil Jung was produced by Teenage Fanclub & David Bianco.

According to Duglas T. Stewart in 2012:
Norman wrote this song about me. It was originally entitled ‘Brothers in Rock’. Norman knows me better than almost anyone so if anyone is qualified to create a portrait of me in song it is him.’
According to Norman Blake in 1995:
It has nothing to do with the psychoanalyst or Neil Young. It’s about a friend who was having a relationship with a crazy woman.
