Pink Floyd lyrics I like

[herbiejuan]

Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze

I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea

I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire

She could take it back, she will take it back some day

So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep And I make her prove her love for me.

I take all that I can take. And I push her to the limit to see if she will break She will take it back, she could take it back some day

Now I heave seen the warnings, screaming from all sides It's easy to ignore them and God knows I've tried All of this temptation, it turned my faith to lies Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

[herbiejuan]

And some more :)-->

Coming back to life

Where were you when I was burned and broken

While the days slipped by from my window watching

Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words

dying to believe in what you heard

I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time

While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the moment had arrived

For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride trough our silence

I knew the waiting had begin

And headed straight... into the shining sun

On a lighter note:

Bike

(Barrett) 3:22

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like.

It's got a basket, a bell that rings

And things to make it look good.

I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I'll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I've got a cloak it's a bit of a joke.

There's a tear up the front. It's red and black.

I've had it for months.

If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I'll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.

I don't know why I call him Gerald.

He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I'll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I've got a clan of gingerbread men.

Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.

Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I'll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I know a room full of musical tunes.

Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.

Let's go into the other room and make them work.

[herbiejuan]

That was dark?

LOL

No, just something that seems to fit at the moment

:D-->

[TOMMYZ]

When it comes to Pinl Floyd I'm partial to the pre "Dark Side Of The Moon" era. Here's another Syd Favorite:

The Gnome

(Barrett) 2:13

I want to tell you a story

About a little man

If I can.

A gnome named Grimble Crumble.

And little gnomes stay in their homes.

Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

He wore a scarlet tunic,

A blue green hood,

It looked quite good.

He had a big adventure

Amidst the grass

Fresh air at last.

Wining, dining, biding his time.

And then one day - hooray!

Another way for gnomes to say

Oooooooooomray.

Look at the sky, look at the river

Isn't it good?

Look at the sky, look at the river

Isn't it good?

Winding, finding places to go.

And then one day - hooray!

Another way for gnomes to say

Oooooooooomray.

Ooooooooooooooomray.

Wish you were here - don't know all the lyrics by heart but it is my favorite Pink Floyd song

I thought that was a Chicago song...

[TheHighWay]

Z... Pink Floyd did: Wish you were here... Chicago did: Wishing you were here.

[TheHighWay]

Here you go, Abigail...

Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,

Blue skys from pain.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

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.

Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 (Waters) 3:56

We don't need no education

We dont 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.

We don't need no education

We dont 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.

"Wrong, Do it again!"

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you

have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

When I was 17 I was blasting this on my stereo, my mom walked in took the album off my turn table and broke it, censorship at it's finest.

[tFloat]

I have become comfortably numb

[sharon]

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

[ckeer]

Grantchester Meadows (Waters) 7:28

"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain"

In the sky a bird was heard to cry.

Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds

Belied the deathly silence that lay all around.

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer

Making for the sea.

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.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.

All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground.

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.

[ckeer]

San Tropez (Waters) 3:43

As I reach for a peach

Slide a rind down behind

The sofa in San Tropez.

Breakin' a stick

with a brick on the sand.

Ridin' a wave

In the wake of an old sedan.

Sleepin' alone in the

Drone of the darkness,

Scratched by the sand that

Fell from my love,

Deep in my dreams and I

Still hear her callin'

"If you're alone,

I'll come home."

Backward and homebound,

The pigeon, the dove,

Gone with the wind

And the rain, on an airplane.

Owning a home

With no silver spoon,

I'm drinking champagne

Like a good tycoon.

Sooner than wait for

A break in the weather,

I'll gather my far-flung

Thoughts together.

Speeding away

On the wind to a new day.

And if you're alone

I'll come home.

And I pause for a while

By a country style

And listen to the things they say.

Diggin' for gold

With a hoe in my hand.

Open a book

Take a look at the way things stand.

And you're leading me down

To the place by the sea.

I hear your soft voice

Calling to me.

Making a date for

Later by phone

And if you're alone

I'll come home.

[ckeer]

On the turning away

On the turning away

From the pale and downtrodden

And the words they say

Which we won’t understand

Don’t accept that what’s happening

Is just a case of others’ suffering

Or you’ll find that you’re joining in

The turning away

It’s a sin that somehow

Light is changing to shadow

And casting it’s shroud

Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown

Driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that we’re all alone

In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night

As the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite

In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange

And mesmerized as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night

No more turning away

From the weak and the weary

No more turning away

From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share

It’s not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there’ll be

No more turning away?

[ckeer]

And finally these two which go together nicely- tho they are on different albums

One of These Days (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour) 5:56

One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces

Careful With That Axe, Eugene (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour) 8:50

Careful With That Axe, Eugene

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute...that was Zappa.

Sorry

I get all that stuff confused...the 60's are still a big blur to me.

The 60's were hard on all of us.

[johniam]

Speaking of the Barret administration, anybody know the words to Astronimy domine. That was a cool song...flicker flicker flicker flap POW!!! or something.

[Ron G.]

Okay...here we go...

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial

Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while

But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues

You can tell by the way she smiles

See the primitive wallflower freeze

When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze

I can't find my knees"

Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him

Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"

But like Louise always says

"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"

As she, herself, prepares for him

And Madonna, she still has not showed

We see this empty cage now corrode

Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

The fiddler, he now steps to the road

He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed

On the back of the fish truck that loads

While my conscience explodes

The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain

And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

Wait a minute...that was Dylan.

Sorry

I get all that stuff confused...the 60's are still a big blur to me.

The 60's were hard on all of us.

[Wacky Funster]

I have no clue who Pink Floyd is. :(-->

Another BLACK HOLE in the mind of an ex-wayfer...

Holy Geez...

I guess I still haven't gotten caught up on my music from that era... -->

[TOMMYZ]

Here you go...

Astronomy Domine

(Barrett) 4:12

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.

Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda

And Titania, Neptune, Titan.

Stars can frighten.

Blinding signs flap,

Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.

Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there?

Lime and limpid green

The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground

Lime and limpid green

The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground.

[TheSongRemainsTheSame]

Pink-Floyd's Lyrics - Breathe Lyrics

Breathe, breathe in the air

Don’t be afraid to care

Leave but don’t leave me

Look around and chose your own ground

For 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

Run, rabbit, run

Dig that hole, forget the sun,

And when at last the work is done

Don’t sit down, it’s time to dig another one

For long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the tide

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race toward an early grave.

[TheSongRemainsTheSame]

Wish You Were Here

Is my Fav PF lyrics

Song

[johniam]

Thanks Tommy Z. The first time I ever tripped I was told I'd start to get off in 1/2 hour so I put 10 albums on the turntable and got under the covers (I was alone). One of those 10 was Ummagumma. Had to get up and turn down the volume during the loud part of 'Careful with that axe Eugene'. Don't think mom would've bought any explanation. Overall it was a good trip.
