Sentimental Hygiene Lyrics
Every day I get up in the morning and go to work
And do my job whatever
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's at war these days
Let's have a mini-surrender
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's had to hurt about it
No one wants to go without it
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Every night I come home exhausted
>From trying to get along
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's joining up to fight
For the right to be wrong
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Some nights I drive my car
Up and down the boulevard
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's had to hurt about it
No one wants to go without it
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Some nights I drive my car
Up and down the boulevard
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Sentimental hygiene
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
And do my job whatever
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's at war these days
Let's have a mini-surrender
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
No one wants to go without it
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
>From trying to get along
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Everybody's joining up to fight
For the right to be wrong
I need some
Sentimental hygiene
Up and down the boulevard
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
No one wants to go without it
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Up and down the boulevard
It's so hard to find it
Sentimental hygiene
Sentimental hygiene
I need some
Sentimental hygiene

This song is probably a reference to his getting clean and sober for the recording of this album. He;s probably dying for a beer, "dying for the right to be wrong." it is this desire that leads him to an early death, and he knows this will be the end result, but man does he love it.
check out Neil Young's guitar work here.
scumbagstyle, I heard once that "sentimantal" is a synonym for "emotional" and "hygiene" is a synonym for "health," so he is saying he needs some emotional health or stability. I like your posts on WZ's work, btw. Always well thought out and interesting takes.

sounds kinda like an anti-war song, depending on how you read it
Reallly, that's Neil on guitar...?
OMG. Really? He is just sick of all the divisiveness and wants to escape it. Nothing about war, nothing about recovery. Can\'t imagine how he\'s survive in today\'s even more divisive world.
