    Meek and obedient, you follow the leader down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel.

    "Hey you, there beyond the wall..." (Hope I recalled the line correctly.)

    Such a haunting, powerful song.

    kind of obscure, but..

    "The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime"

    Extra points if you can name the song!

    "...And then one day you find/ Ten years have got behind you
    No one told you when to run/You missed the starting gun"

    Depressing- but in my case, very true.

    And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
    You'd better park the car well out of sight.
    'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks,
    They're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box.

    Run like Hell.

    The Pink Floyd lyrics that come to mind most are these from Chapter 24:

    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.

    I like this one as well. A few years ago this would have been my pick. Today though....

    Were just two list souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

    The lines converging where you stand
    They must have moved the picture plane
    The leaves are heavy round your feet
    You feel the thunder of a train
    Suddenly it strikes you--
    That they're moving into range
    Doctor Strange is always changing size

    So how's this? From "Echoes"

    And no one sings me lullabies
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....
    I hadn't really considered how hard this was going to be until I tried to nail it down, but I think it's between that one and

    I can't explain, you would not understand
    This is not how I am
    But if we're really down to one line, it's not just the words, but how Gilmour sings, "When I was a chiiiiiiild, I caught a fleeting glimpse."
