Post your favorite lyrics here:

"Think I'll buy a football team".

[malta blue]

1. Not a lyric, but the statement that cemented my love for Floyd....

"People think of us as a drug oriented band. Of course we're not. You can trust us." - David Gilmour

Taken from the Live at Pompeii film, David reminded me of Sigmud the Sea Monster at that moment


The lighting was really bad, his hair was greasy and stringy, blowing in wind....

[Iggo]

2. Bookmarking.

I gotta think about this one.

[denem]

4. I don't need no arms around me. eom

[Dr. Strange]

3. Probably this one:

Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

[denem]

5. Can you tell a green field,

from a cold steel rail?

[Roon]

6. Who beats the funeral drum?

free four

[JCMach1]

7. 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.




Only song I know with my name in it!

[derby378]

8. The lyrics to ECLIPSE

Damn, that song was ominous and profound and the same time.

[Iggo]

19. I like that one. It's one long sentence, right? (n/t)

[denem]

9. "Oh George! That Texas education must have fucked you up when you were very small."

Not strictly Pink Floyd.

heh.

[skygazer]

10. 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


Perfect description



And of course,

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



Anyone who has ever experienced Depression or any other emotional meltdown knows just what that feels like.

[bethdoc]

11. "HEY! GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF MY DESERT! "

"what did he say...?"

BOOM! :nuke:

Blew out a pair of tweeters with that song.

[FanGrrl]

12. fav pink floyd lyrics

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?


"from wish you were here"

[AirBaud]

13. And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds

I look down, hearing the sound of the things you said today

[hellbound-liberal]

14. Here's one of my favorite songs with the lyrics. Ha!Ha! Charade you are!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNa551dR6Rc

Pigs (Three Different Ones)

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....! .....! .....! .....!
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry!

[no name no slogan]

15. That cat's something I can't explain

Stuff that in your Roger Waters and smoke it.

[Systematic Chaos]

16. This song cracks me up every time I hear it -

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict
From Ummagumma


Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion,
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my
Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

...and the wind cried Mary.

Thank you.

18. From 'Sheep'

The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.
He makes me down to lie.
Through pastures green he leadeth me
The silent waters by.

With bright knves he releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets.
For lo, he hath great power and great hunger.

When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection and great dedication,
Do master the art of Karate,
Lo, we shall rise up.

And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a screeeeeeaaaaaaammmmm.....

[chknltl]

20. By Syd...... of course:

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.

(from Astonomy Domine)

21. Some of my favorites...

You have to be trusted
By the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

("Dogs," from Animals)


If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care
For you
We would zig zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching
For pigs on the wing

("Pigs on the Wing, Part 1," from Animals)

And my personal favorite:

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 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 rearrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
And 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

("Brain Damage," from Dark Side of the Moon)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. I'll see you the Dark Side of The moon.. n/t

[TrogL]

23. The screaming, dear Lord, the screaming

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (Breathe)

[scubadude]

24. And everything is green as submarine.

Echoes

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's.
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light.

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.

And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive.
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun....

Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

[JanMichael]

25. almost my favorite band ever.

run like hell

[pokerfan]

26. BTW, which one's Pink?

[litlady]

27. Definitely "On the Turning Away"...

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we wont understand
Dont accept that whats 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 its 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
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?
