Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.





Yet another Floyd thread.

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.

Every year is getting shorter,
Never seem to find the time
Things that either come to naught
Are half a page of scribbled lines

So sad... I never liked PinkFloyd.

You DON'T like Floyd???? Blasphemer!!!! You'll smoke a turd in hell for that one ;)

The full is.....

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And 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.



But i prefer...Syd's lyrical whimsy.....

She took a long cold look at me
and smiled and gazed all over my arm
she loves to see me get down to ground
she hasn't time just to be with me
her face between all she means to be
to be extreme, just to be extreme
a broken pier on the wavy sea
she wonders why for all she wants to see...
But I got up and I stomped around
and hid the piece where the trees touch the ground...

The end of truth that lay out the time
spent lazing here on a painting dream
a mile or more in a foreign clime
to see farther inside of me.

And looking high up into the sky
I breathe as the water streams over me...

Yes very sad. And this is EXACTLY how I feel. Except add the rest of it:

Hanging on in quiet desperationis the English way.
My time has come,
the song is over
thought I'd something more to say.

How can you not like them? They are my favorite group.

I hate Pink Floyd, and always have. People have been forcing me to listen to it by turning it on everywhere. I prefer Britney Spears myself. That is some great music!

I seriously hope you are being sarcastic. If not, you need help.

Sorry, no offense meant, but I seriously think their texts don't make any sense. I just don't understand their point of view, sorry. Maybe I'm too narrow-minded for that highbrow stuff.

Naaaaaahhhhh......you just need to smoke da weed and you'll get it! ;)

I'm a bit of a Pink Floyd freak. I printed up the entire lyrics to Pink Floyd - The Wall and put them together in a 5 pages x 4 pages poster and hung it on my wall.

Quite hard to get it lined up nicely.

Wow! I only just bought that DVD. Seen it 5 times. Listened to it probably 40 or so times.

How old are you? I'm 19 so I still have plenty of time:)

One of my favorite songs by them...

Pink Floyd
One Of My Turns

[spoken in background:]
Oh my God, what a fabulous room!
Are all these your guitars?
This place is bigger than our apartment.
Uh, could I have a drink of water?
Ya want some? Huh?
Oh wow! Look at this tub!
Wanna take a bath?
What're you watching?
Hello?
Are you feeling ok?

Day after day,
Our love turns gray,
Like the skin on a dying man.
And night after night,
We pretend it's all right,
But I have grown older,
And you have grown colder,
And nothing is very much fun, anymore.
And I can feel,
One of all my turns coming on.
I feel,
Cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left,
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened,
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch TV?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate a silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Ooohh. No! Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
