The Needle and the Damage Done (Neil Young cover) Lyrics

I caught you knocking
At my cellar door
I love you, baby
Can I have some more?

Oh, oh, 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

Every junkie's like a setting sun

I've seen the needle
And the damage done
A little part of it
In everyone

Every junkie's like a setting sun

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
