A Man Needs a Maid/Heart of Gold Suite Live at Massey Hall 1971 by Neil Young Lyrics
[A Man Needs a Maid]
[Verse 1]
I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away
[Chorus]
Afraid
A man feels afraid
Afraid
[Post-Chorus]
It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange and cold
[Verse 2]
To give a love
You gotta live a love
To live a love
You gotta be part of
And when will I see you again?
[Verse 2]
A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watchin' a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part I could understand
[Chorus]
A maid
A man needs a maid
A maid
[Heart of Gold]
[Verse 3]
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
[Verse 4]
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwoods
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
[Outro]
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And when will I see you again
[Verse 1]
I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away
[Chorus]
Afraid
A man feels afraid
Afraid
[Post-Chorus]
It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange and cold
[Verse 2]
To give a love
You gotta live a love
To live a love
You gotta be part of
And when will I see you again?
[Verse 2]
A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watchin' a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part I could understand
[Chorus]
A maid
A man needs a maid
A maid
[Heart of Gold]
[Verse 3]
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
[Verse 4]
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwoods
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
[Outro]
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And when will I see you again
