Is There Anybody Out There that Likes Pink Floyd?

  I was just going through some of my Pink Floyd cd's. Gosh, I love this band. I took it personally when Roger Waters left. Still, in my opinion, the band has survived without him. I hope that Roger rejoins the band some day.

  I wanted to post some of my favorite Pink Floyd lyrics. Which ones are your favs? I have many but since we seem to be on the verge of war with Iraq, I think I will start off with "Two Suns in the Sunset" from the LP Final Cut. The last album that featured Roger Waters as a band member.

  two suns in the sunset
  in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
  sinking behind bridges in the road
  and i think of all the good things
  that we have left undone
  and i suffer premonitions
  
  confirm suspicions
  of the holocaust to come
  
  the wire that holds the cork
  that keeps the anger in
  gives way
  and suddenly it's day again
  the sun is in the east
  even though the day is done
  
  hmmmmmmmmm
  could be the human race is run
  
  like the moment when your brakes lock
  and you slide toward the big truck
  and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
  and you'll never hear their voices
  and you'll never see their faces
  you have no recourse to the law anymore
  
  and as the windshield melts
  my tears evaporate
  leaving only charcoal to defend
  finally i understand
  the feelings of the few
  ashes and diamonds
  foe and friend
  we were all equal in the end

  Great Band Robdar, I love listening to The Wall when I'm camping at night with a nice fire and a beer and cigar!

  I'd still like to try that thing -- where you play "Dark Side of the Moon" while watching "The Wizard of Oz". I hear the lyrics are synchronized to the action in the movie!!

  "Comfortably Numb"

  Hello?
  Is there anybody in there?
  Just nod if you can hear me.
  Is there anyone home?
  Come on, now.
  I hear you're feeling down.
  Well I can ease your pain,
  Get you on your feet again.
  Relax.
  I 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's smoke on the horizon.
  You are only coming through in waves.
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
  When I was a child I had a fever.
  My hands felt just like two balloons.
  Now I got that feeling once again.
  I can't explain, you would not understand.
  This is not how I am.
  I have become comfortably numb.
  Ok.
  Just a little pinprick.
  There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh!
  But you may feel a little sick.
  Can you stand up?
  I do believe it's working. Good.
  That'll keep you going for the show.
  Come on it's time to go.
  There is no pain, you are receding.
  A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
  You are only coming through in waves.
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
  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.
  I have become comfortably numb.

  I fondly remember listening to 'Delicate Sound Of Thunder'....under somewhat altered states ;)...

  ...and watching the moon shine off the lake from the farm house living room where I was staying.

  Beans, Now you are talking! Floyd is best enjoyed under the moon light.

  Well, someday I hope to see you all "on the darkside of the moon".rocky220

  Hear, hear, Rocky, I second that....Cheers!

  Gopher, I have never done that but I have mixed "On the Run" with Zeplin's "Whole Lotta Love". I have the mix and will send it to you if you wish.

  Nakedmvistar,

  Comfortably Numb is an awesome choice! Thanks for posting the lyrics.

  Lizard Snot,

  Who could forget such an awesome concert as the "Momentary Lapse of Reason/The Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour?

  In keeping with that thought, here is one of my favorties from the Momentary Lapse of Reason CD, "The Dogs of War":

  The Dogs of War
  Dogs of war and men of hate
  With no cause, we don't discriminate
  Discovery is to be disowned
  Our currency is flesh and bone
  Hell opened up and put on sale
  Gather 'round and haggle
  For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
  Even our masters don't know the web we weave
  
  One world, it's a battleground
  One world, and we will smash it down
  One world ... One world
  
  Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
  Hollow laughter in marble halls
  Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
  Has unleashed the dogs of war
  You can't stop what has begun
  Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
  We all have a dark side, to say the least
  And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
  
  One world, it's a battleground
  One world, and we will smash it down
  One world ... One world
  
  The dogs of war don't negotiate
  The dogs of war won't capitulate,
  They will take and you will give,
  And you must die so that they may live
  You can knock at any door,
  But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
  Well winners can lose and things can get strained
  But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
  
  One world, it's a battleground
  One world, and we will smash it down
  One world ... One world
  
  

  Robyn

  We don't need no Theocratic education
  We don't need no thought control
  No dark sarcasm in the Kingdom Hall
  Elders leave them dubs alone
  Hey! Elders! Leave them dubs alone!
  All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
  All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

  Matty,

  That was not only clever, it was brilliant!

  Thanks.
