Can't Be Satisfied

'533 Blues' is on Neil Young's Living With War chart. You can vote for it here  http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html 

This is from my album '112 Guildford St.'
It's for the 533*. This song started out as 528 blues, by the time I recorded it, it had risen to 533 Blues. Unfortunately the title number keeps going up, it's now 612 Blues.........
This is dedicated to Thomas Gould who died at the Somme in 1916 at the age of 18. Also to his best friend Frank Ash who, at the same age, had to leave Tom to die alone in a field. Both victims. It's still happening.
*Total number of British personnel killed in Iraq &amp; Afghanistan
