"Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floydd

 

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,

blown on the steel breeze.

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

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.

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,

rode on the steel breeze.

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

 

Oh my god, yes.

 

Anyways,

 

Pink Floyd - Time

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

 

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

 

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

 

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

Its good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Ah Pink Floyd, my dad's favorite band. I'm a fan of Comfortably Numb

 

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone at home?

Come on, Come on, Come on, now,

I hear you're feeling down.

I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again.

Relax.

I'll need some information first.

Just the basic facts.

Can you show me where it hurts?

 

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship's 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.

(solo)

I have become comfortably numb.

 

O.K.

Just a little pin angel.

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?

I do believe it's working, good.

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go.

 

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship's 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 caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown,

The dream is gone.

but I have become comfortably numb.

Pink Floyd are my and my dad's favourite group, the ones you posted are wonderful. Here's another very amazing songs

 

 

Pink Floyd - Us and Them

 

 

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

and the General sat, and the lines on the map

moved from side to side

 

Black and blue

and who knows which is which and who is who

up and down

and in the end it's only round and round and round

haven't you heard it's a battle of words

the poster bearer cried

listen, son, said the man with the gun

there's room for you inside

 

Down and out

it can't be helped but there's a lot of it about

with, without

and who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about

out of the way, it's a busy day

I've got things on my mind

for want of the price of tea and a slice

the old man died

 

 

 

 

Pink Floyd - When the Tigers Broke Free

 

 

It was just before dawn one miserable morning

In black 'forty four

When the forward commander

Was told to sit tight

When he asked that his men be withdrawn

And the Generals gave thanks

As the other ranks held back

The enemy tanks for a while

And the Anzio bridge head

Was held for the price

Of a few hundred ordinary lives

And old King George sent Mother

A note when he heard that father was gone

It was, I recall, in the form of

A scroll, with gold leaf and all

And I found it one day

In a drawer of old photographs hidden away

And my eyes still grow damp to remember

His Majesty signed

With his own rubber stamp

It was dark all round, there was frost on the ground

When the tigers broke free

And no one survived

From the Royal Fusiliers, company "C" There were all left behind

Most of them dead, the rest of them dying

And that's how the high command

Took my Daddy from me.

 

 

 

Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

 

 

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

stretched to the point of no turning back

a flight of fancy on a wind swept field

standing alone my sense reeled

a fatal attraction holding me fast, how

can I escape this irresistable grasp?

can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

ice is forming on the tips of my wings

unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything

no navigator to guide my way home

unladened, empty and turned to stone

 

a soul in tension that's learning to fly

condition grounded but determined to try

can't keep my eyes from the -circling- skies

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

 

above the planet on a wing and a prayer

my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air

across the clouds I see my shadow fly

out of the corner of my watering eye

a dream unthreatened by the morning light

gould blow this soul right through the roof of the night

 

there's no sensation to compare with this

suspended animation, a state of bliss

can't keep my mind from the circling sky

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Sniperwhere]

Pink Floyd lyric fest. :P

 

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage

 

The lunatic is on the grass

The lunatic is on the grass

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs

Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall

The lunatics are in my hall

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more

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 forbodings 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 'till I'm sane

You lock the door

And throw away the key

There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

 

"I can't think of anything to say except...

I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"

“When the Levee Breaks” is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

 

If we talk about Led Zeppelin we cannot avoid to point to this song:

 

 

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder

 

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it really makes me wonder

 

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter

 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring-clean for the May queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

 

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll

[Johny Obliv]

Scarborough Fair - Simon & Garfunkel

 

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine.

 

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:

(on the side of a hill in the deep forest green)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

(tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown)

Without no seams nor needle work

(blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)

Then she'll be a true love of mine.

(sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

 

Tell her to find me an acre of land:

(on the side of the hill, the sprinkling of leaves)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

(washes the grave with silvery tears)

Between the salt water and the sea strands,

(a soldier cleans and polishes a gun)

Then she'll be a true love of mine.

 

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:

(war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

(generals order their soldiers to kill)

And gather it all in a bunch of heather

(and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)

Then she'll be a true love of mine.

 

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine.

 

 

 

Great song, sounds medieval.

[worm82075]

Is anyone else loving

?

 

I feel so unsure

as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor

as the music dies, something in your eyes

calls to mind the silver screen

and all its sad good-byes

 

I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

I should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste the chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

Time can never mend

the careless whispers of a good friend

to the heart and mind

ignorance is kind

there's no comfort in the truth

pain is all you'll find

 

I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

I should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste this chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

 

We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

But no who's gonna dance with me

Please stay

 

And I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

Should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste the chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never knew what that song was about until Seether covered it. Best cover so far this year by a wide margin.

Title: Everything'll Be Alright (Will's Lullaby)

 

Way down, in New York town

Thinking about the way she loved me

There's a hole in my pocket

That's about her size

But I think everything

Is gonna be alright

Yes I hope everything

Is gonna be alright

 

The smiling face, straight in LA

The gifts are found at the bar

But I wish my car

Could drive to her tonight

Then I'd know everything

Is gonna be alright

Yes then I'd know

It'll be alright

 

The rain in New Orleans, forgot to end

But the mouths of the people are dry

And we watch and wait

And do nothing but sigh

And hope everything

Is gonna turn alright

But I don't know

If it'll be alright

 

But I look at you, warm in your dream

While your mobile dances above

And I think to myself

It's a beautiful night

And I know everything

Is gonna be alright

Yes now I know

It'll be alright

Fashion Nugget (1996)

The Distance lyrics

 

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,

Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.

Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.

The fans get up and they get out of town.

The arena is empty except for one man,

Still driving and striving as fast as he can.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,

And long ago somebody left with the cup.

But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.

And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

 

He's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

She's all alone

In her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,

He's going the distance.

 

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,

He's haunted by something he cannot define.

Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,

Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.

In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.

She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.

Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,

And long ago somebody left with the cup.

But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.

And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

 

Cause he's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

She's all alone

In her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

He's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

He's going the distance.

Shadow Stabbing

 

Adjectives on the typewriter

He moves his words like a prize fighter

The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell

 

The man on the street might just as well be

The man on the street might just as well

The man on the street might just as well be

 

Outside, outside the world

Out there you don't hear the echoes and calls

But the steel I,

Type jaw

Say it all

Say it all

 

But the white paint,

Plastic saints

Say it all

Say it all

Say it all

 

Say it all,

Say it all,

Say it all,

Say it all,

Say it all,

Say somebody,

Has got to say it all

Somebody

Has got to say it all

 

I'm so nervous

I'm so tense

My heart can't forget about this self defense

The air is so hot

and my breath comes fast

I thumb the cool blade but I know this can't last

 

I thumb the cool blade but I know this can't last...

 

Outside, outside the world

Out there you don't hear the echoes and calls

But the steel I,

Type jaw

Say it all

Say it all

 

But the white paint,

plastic saints

Say it all

Say somebody,

Has got to say it all

Somebody

Yeah, adjectives on the typewriter

He moves his words like a prize fighter

The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell

 

The man on the street might just as well be

The man on the street might just as well

The man on the street might just as well be
