Fave Pink Floyd lyric

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.
 
The lunatics are in my hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And everyday the paper boy brings more
 
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
He found it in the zoo
It's orange red and blue...
Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream
From Her Majesty the Queen
His boots were very clean
 
Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
And in the space between the heavens
and the corner of some foreign field,
I had a dream.

The gunners dream, final cut.
 
The son is the same in a relative way but you're older, ..
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

Wasting around on a piece of ground in your home town.
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
 
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?
 
Money!
It's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody-good bullshit

And Breathe

Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells...

Think I might have to have a bit of a Floyd fest after work this evening...
 
"When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling"

Maan, that song is soooo sad, evocative etc. etc...

"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again"

All of the Time lyrics are excellent, but those are the ones that stand out in my mind.

I vote for the next lines...

" the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death,
Every day is getting shorter,
Never seem to find the time...."
 
Ive got a bike
you can ride it if you like
Its got a basket
a bell that rings
and things to make it look good...
Id give it to you if i could... but i borrowed it"
(Sid barrat/pink floyd Bike)

and

I got a cloak its a bit of a joke theres a tear up the front its red and black ive had it for months... if you think it could look good, then i guees it should
 
Another Wish You Were Here lyric:

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?
 
did you exchange a walk on part in the war
for the lead role in a cage?

...

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
running over the same old ground
what have we found?

wish you were here
