song list next song Pink Floyd: Letter B Pink Floyd: Shine On Candy And A Currant Bun
(Barrett)
b-side from the single Arnold Layne, November 18, 1967
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......

Oooh, don't talk to me
Please just fuck with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail

It's true, sun shining very bright
It's you, who I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste good if you eat it soon

Oooh, don't touch me child
Please you know you drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail

Don't try another cat
Don't go where other you must know why
Very very very frail

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......

(Barrett)
A movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It forms when darkness is increased by one
Change returns success
Going and coming without a look
Action brings good fortune
Sunset

The time is with the month of winter solstice
When the change is due to come
Thunder in the other course of heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once and for all
Change returns success
Going and coming without a look
Action brings good fortune
Sunset, sunrise

A movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It forms when darkness is increased by one
Change returns success
Going and coming without a look
Action brings good fortune
Sunset, sunrise
song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: Obscured By Clouds Childhood's End
(Gilmour)
You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is too steep.
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test?
You awake with a start
To just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.

You set sail across the sea
Of long past thoughts and memories.
Childhood's end, your fantasies
Merge with harsh realities.
And then as the sail is hoist,
You find your eyes are growing moist.
All the fears never voiced
Say you have to make your final choice.

Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why?
Some are born; some men die
Beneath one infinite sky.
There'll be war, there'll be peace.
But ev'rything one day will cease.
All the iron turned to rust;
All the proud men turned to dust.
And so all things, time will mend.
So this song will end.
song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: Relics Pink Floyd: More Cirrus Minor
(Waters)
In a churchyard by a river,
Lazing in the haze of midday,
Laughing in the grasses and the graze.
Yellow bird, you are alone in singing and in flying on,
In and in leaving.

Willow weeping in the water,
Waving to the river daughters,
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds.
On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later.

song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: P.U.L.S.E. Pink Floyd: Shine On Roger Waters: The Wall - Live In Berlin Pink Floyd: A Delicate Sound Of Thunder Pink Floyd: The Wall Comfortably Numb
(Gilmour/Waters)
Hello,
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
And 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 smoke on the horizon
You are 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

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do belive 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 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
And I have become
Comfortably numb.
song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: P.U.L.S.E. Pink Floyd: Division Bell Coming Back To Life
(Music and Lyrics: Gilmour)
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And 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 through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight into the shining sun

song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: A Nice Pair Pink Floyd: A Saucerful Of Secrets Corporal Clegg
(Waters)
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war in 1944
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red, and blue
He found it in the zoo
Dear, dear were they really sad for me
Dear, dear will they really laugh at me
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin
Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg recieved his medal in a dream
From her majesty the queen
His boots were very clean
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin
song list next song previous song Zabriskie Point (deluxe edition) Country Song
(Waters/Gilmour/Mason/Wright)
He made his way to the border
In the shadow under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head, feel the breeze

And the Red Queen was waiting for the news
For the White King to move.
And the [balance howled] upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his [undercover] secret [tide].

They let him in by a back way
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen.
She took the note that he gave her,
Opened it slowly, and started to read.

"Unto the treasury and bring me back some gold,
Give it to the pawn who came!" she cried.
"He says the White King thinks the game of chess is [wrong]."
And all the courtiers crowded round
and this is what she told the gathered throng.

"Go to the stone by the dungeon;
Take all the red paint, take all the white.
Make up a newborn colour.
Cover your neighbor, we'll be all right."

"There will be no game today!" she cried across the board.
"Everyday will be a holiday!"
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat, and smiled as the [cadre? or cat or captain?] smiled back.
song list next song previous song Zabriskie Point (deluxe edition) Zabriskie Point (original edition) Crumbling Land
(Waters/Gilmour/Mason/Wright)
In a while I'll find the time to make the sunshine mine
In a smile I saw a single needle in the sky
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by

On a hill a little man with many shining things
Shiny pool, a shiny car and shiny diamond rings
Wining, dining, shining king

And the eagle flies in clear blue skies
Breathing in the clear blue air
Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
And fifty more come rolling off
The Ford production line

Then a man appearing like up in our on the sand
In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
Screaming, scheming, movie man

Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
Climbing, higher, to the sky

Climbing all the birds a lake the dove the lies
On the finger of the king
On high the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
And wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun
song list next song previous song Pink Floyd: More Crying Song
(Waters)
We smile and smile
We smile and smile
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climb and climb
We climb and climb
Footfall softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We role and role
We role and role
Help me role away the stone
song list Pink Floyd: Letter D previous song Pink Floyd: More Cymbaline
(Waters)
The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and very high
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by
Apprehension creeping like a choo-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end; will the final couplet rhyme
And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

Butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side
The ravens all are closing in there's no where you can hide
Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone
Selling colored photographs to magazines back home
And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

The lines converging where you stand they must have moved the picture plane
The leaves are heavy around your feet you hear the thunder of the train
Suddenly it strikes you that they're moving into range
Doctor Strange is always changing size
And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me
