Pink Floyd

"Isn't it strange How little we change Isn't it sad we're insane Playing the game that we know end in tears The games we've been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands and..."

"Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew. Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground."

"Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh She often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow. There is no other day Let's try it another way You'll lose your mind and play Free games for may See Emily play."

"Remember a day before today A day when you were young. Free to play alone with time Evening never came."

"Over the mountain watching the watcher. Breaking the darkness Waking the grapevine. One inch of love is one inch of shadow Love is the shadow that ripens the wine. Set the controls for the heart of the sun."

"It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here."

"In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground. Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room."

"If I were the moon, I'd be cool. If I were a book, I would bend for you. If I were a good man, I'd understand The spaces between friends."

"A cloud of eiderdown Draws around me Softening a sound. Sleepy time, and I lie, With my love by my side, And she's breathing low."

"Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand The best I can."

"Ancient bonds are breaking, Moving on and changing sides. Dreaming of a new day, Cast aside the other way. Magic visions stirring, Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes."

"Life is a short, warm moment And death is a long cold rest. You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye: Eighty years, with luck, or even less."

"The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime. You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom And talk to yourself till you die."

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years Been over the edge for yonks Been working with bands son long, I think 'Crikey' I've always been mad, I know I've been mad Like the most of us, very hard to explain why you're mad Even if you're not mad."

"Long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be."

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or Speak something to show you the way."

"So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older; Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say."

"Money, get back. I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack. Money, it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit. I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet."

"Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today. But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're Giving none away."

"Us, and them And after all we're only ordinary men. Me, and you. God only knows it's not what we would choose to do."

"Forward he cried, from the rear, and the front rank died. The general sat, and the lines on the map, moved from side to side."

"And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon."

"The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me."

"All that is now All that is gone All that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon."

"There's no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it is all dark."

"You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, And exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond."

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine. Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been. You've been in the pipeline, filling in time."

"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, fly high, You're never gonna die, You're gonna make it if you try; They're gonna love you."

"Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?"

"How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here."

"You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking."

"Haha, charade you are!"

"What do you get for pretending the danger's not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel. What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem. No, this is no bad dream."

"So ya, thought ya, might like to go to the show? To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow"

"If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise."

"If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet."

"When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children in any way they could By pouring their derision Upon anything we did And exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kids."

"We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall."

"Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry. Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true. Mother's gonna put all of her fears into you. Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing. She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing. Mama will keep baby cozy and warm. Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby, Of course mama's gonna help build the wall."

"Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones? Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs? Did-did-did-did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?"

"What shall we use To fill the empty spaces Where we used to talk?"

"I am just a new boy, Stranger in this town. Where are all the good times? Who's gonna show this stranger around? Ooooh, I need a dirty woman. Ooooh, I need a dirty girl."

"Day after day, love turns grey Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, we pretend its all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder and Nothing is very much fun any more. And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I feel cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum."

"Hey you, out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home."

"But it was only fantasy. The wall was too high, As you can see. No matter how he tried, He could not break free. And the worms ate into his brain."

"There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb."

"So ya! thought ya! Might like to! Go to the show! To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow. I've got some bad news for you sunshine: Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate band. We're gonna find out where you fans really STAND OUT! Are there any queers, in the theater tonight? Get'em off against the wall. (gainst! The! Wall!) Now there's one in the SPOTLIGHT, he don't look right to me. Get him up against the wall. ('gainst! the!) And that one looks Jewish and that one's a COON! Who let all this riffraff into the room?! There's one smokin' a joint! And ANOTHER ONE WITH SPOTS! If I had my way, I'd have all of you SHOT!"

"Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature; This will not do."
