What's your favorite Pink Floyd lyric line ?

Wise beyond their years.

 

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like 2 balloons

When I was very young and got sick I'd run very high temperatures which would cause me to become delirious, hallucinate, and have awful nightmares. These lines remind me of then, but I certainly did not enjoy what I'd gone through.

 

Silence in the studio

 

... and the wind cried Mary

 

breathe...breathe in the air

by chance two seperate glances meet..and i am you and what you see is me

 

Home, home again
I like to be there when I can
When I come in cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

 

Beat me by "that much" Darren....

 

Yups, this one. Love that song and what it does lyrically.

 

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things.

 

It's got a basket a bell that rings and things to make it look good, I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

 

You're nearly a laugh but you're really a cry...

 

Yes!!

 

The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere.
He didn't care.
He stood in a field where barley grows.

His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move except then the wind cut up
Rough and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows.

 

All the words from my favorite Pink Floyd song of all time. To my friend Mick, who passed away to young. I miss u man.

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 they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost 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.

 

You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control

And from the same album,

There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?

 

So I won't be alone on the way to the stone
Now that I've found somewhere to bury my bones

 

"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."

 

Wanna take a baaath

 

I gotta little black book with me poems in

 

I ve got pin hole burns down the front of my favorite satin shirt

 

both your manager & agent, are both busy on the phone
selling colored photographs, to magazines back home

 

I wanted to post this one. There are lots of lyrics by Roger Waters that I don't like but very few lyricists can nail such a sentence.

 

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

 

Not wanting to sound preachy, but the words are 'So I don't feel alone, or the weight of the stone'.

 

Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end
