pink floyd

[JonMikal]

Terri , how great is 'Time' !!

oh yeah!

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand 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

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

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 I'd something more to say

have you been riding listening to a floyd guitar solo and just can't stand it anymore......you've tried playing the stering wheel, gear shift but just can't get the motion right because you're stuck in a seat with no room.....suddenly you slam on the brakes, crank the volume seriously, fly out the door, climb on the hood and with the wind in your face......YOU ARE GILMORE ON STAGE! happened to me at the corner of pennsylvania and constitution ave's yesterday. cost $400 for bail argh!!!! :mrgreen:

havent done that, but i have pulled over on the highway in a truck with no air conditioner to blast "run like hell" about three times while singing at the top of my lungs...

Oh my god! Oh my god! I love Pink Floyd! Their music is so great! *Gets hyper and bounces around the room* :mrgreen:

It's a musical classic that defies any genre, Lumi - that's how great it is! :thumbup:

Happy to see we're back to discussing what matters here. :sillysmi:

 

[MDowdey]

sarah i have to warn you about the pink floyd thread....

some of us are rather naked and dancing to pink floyd in this thread...so beware!!!!!

 

[MDowdey]

see thats where i differ with people about which floyd songs are the greatest.

I like all of their hits, dont get me wrong, but some of the lesser known songs are WAY CREEPIER!!!

High Hopes
On The Turning Away
Fletcher Memorial Home
When The Tigers Broke Free
Mother
Goodbye Blue Sky
Outside The Wall


that would be my greatest hits CD

Oh, I totally agree. It's the deeper cuts that don't get the airplay that help shape who they really are. That being said, Time STILL is what it is.....how many years did that damn album stay on the top 20 list? Paid their bills, made them rich, etc..... you might say it's a nifty little tune.

Speaking of creepy, let's not forget "One Of These Days".

 

[MDowdey]

god yes, dogs of war, and one of these days...

im really really in love with pink floyd and this thread is not helping.


"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 bridgehead
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 around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They 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.

pigs on the wing (part 2)

You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me
So I don't feel alone
Of the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
