Neil YoungAbout
In this song, Young addresses a recurring theme for him: his love-hate relationship with his audience and the alienation caused by fame, and how he deals with its trappings. At the same time, he realizes that these problems, his own problems, are petty when compared to the changes that the world is...
On the Beach Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The world is turning
I hope it don't turn away
The world is turning
I hope it don't turn away
All my pictures are falling
From the wall where I placed them yesterday
The world is turning
I hope it don't turn away
[Verse 2]
I need a crowd of people
But I can't face them day to day
I need a crowd of people
But I can't face 'em day to day
Though my problems are meaningless
That don't make them go away
I need a crowd of people
I can't face them day to day
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone at the microphone
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone at the microphone
Now I'm living out here on the beach
But those seagulls are still out of reach
Went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone at the microphone
[Verse 4]
Get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
Get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
I head for the sticks with my bus and friends
I follow the road though I don't know where it ends
Get out of town, get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
[Outro]
Because the world is turning
I don't wanna see it turn away
