Pink Floyd - Your Possible Pasts Lyrics

Your Possible Pasts Lyrics - Pink Floyd

They flutter behind you your possible pasts
Some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
Of their possible future to take care
In derilict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
Do you remember me? how we used to be?
Do you thing we should be closer?
She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand
He said, "i was just a child then now i'm only a man"
Do you remember me? how we used to be?
Do you thing we should be closer?
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
Do you remember me? how we used to be?
Do you thing we should be closer?

Pink Floyd - Young Lust Lyrics

Young Lust Lyrics - Pink Floyd

I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh Babe set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

Pink Floyd - You Gotta Be Crazy Lyrics

You Gotta Be Crazy Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Gotta be crazy, you gotta be mean,
Gotta keep your shoes and your car clean,
Gotta keep smiling, you gotta keep fit,
You gotta keep drinking, you gotta eat shit.

You gotta be small to be a big shot,
Gotta eat meat to stay at the top,
You gotta be trusted, you gotta tell lies,
Gotta be able to narrow your eyes.

You gotta believe they've gotta believe you,
Gotta appear to be easy to see through,
Gotta be sure you look good on TV,
Gotta resemble a human being.

You gotta keep one eye over your shoulder,
Gonna get harder as you get older,
Gotta fly south and hide in the sand,
Gotta forget that your gonna get cancer.

And when you lose control,
You'll reap the harvest you have sown,
And as the fear grows,
The bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's to late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around,
So have a good drown as you go down alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

You gotta be sure, you gotta be quick,
Gotta divide the tame from the sick,
Gotta keep all of us docile and fit,
You gotta keep everyone buying this shit.

They gotta get you started early,
Processed by the time you're thirty,
You work like fuck till your sixty-five,
Then your time's your own until you die.

Gotta admit to a lot of confusion,
Pain in the head is the child of collusion,
Gotta resist this creeping malaise,
Gotta believe in the way you get out of the maze.

But you, you just keep on pretending,
You can tell a sucker from a friend,
But you still raise the knife,
To stranger, lover, friend and foe alike.

Who was born in a house full of pain?
Who was sent out to play on his own?
Who was raised on a diet of shame?
Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
Who was told what to do by the man?
Who was broken by trained personnel?
Who was fitted with bridle and bit?
Who was given a seat in the stand?
Who was forcing his way to the rails?
Who was offered a place on the board?
Who was only a stranger at home?
Who was ground down in the end?
Who was found dead on the phone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?

Dragged down by the stone!

Pink Floyd - Yet Another Movie Lyrics

Yet Another Movie Lyrics - Pink Floyd

One sound, One single sound
One kiss, One single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?
A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed
The use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still
He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the best
And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look
A man in black on a snow white horse,
A pointless life has run it's course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun

Yet Another Movie (Live) Lyrics - Pink Floyd

One sound, One single sound
One kiss, One single kiss

However did it come to this?

A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red

A man in black on a snow white horse
A pointless life has run its course
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun

{You're going on that plane to take you where you belong
But no, I have
You have got to listen to me
Do you have any idea what you have to look forward to if you stay here?
Nine chances out of 10 we both end up in a concentration camp and that
You're only saying these things to make me go
[Inaudible]
Inside us, we both know we belong in different

Pink Floyd - Wot's...Uh Deal Lyrics

Wot's...Uh Deal Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Heaven said the promised land
Looks allright from where I stand
Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in
Waiting on the first step
Show where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it's time
To let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old
Flash the red is wots...uh the deal
Got to make to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel.
Mile after mile
Stone after stone
Turn to speak but you're alone
Million mile from home you're on your own
So let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old
Fly bright by candlelight
Up out of my sight
And if she prefers we will never stir again
Someone said the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out
Hear me shout 'come on in, what's the news and where you been?'
Cause there's no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old

Pink Floyd - Wolfpack Lyrics

Wolfpack Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation
Bowling they bat as a group
And the leader is seen - so early...
The pack on their backs, the fighters
Through misty the waving - the pack in formation
Far reaching waves
On sight, shone right
I lay as if in surround...
All enmeshing, hovering...
The milder I gaze
All the animals laying trail
Beyond the bough winds
Mild the reflecting electricity eyes...
Tears, the life that was ours
Grows sharper and stronger away and beyond
Short wheeling - fresh spring
Gripped with blanched bones - moaned
Magnesium, proverbs and sobs...
Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation...

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Wish You Were Here Lyrics - Pink Floyd

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

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue skies for 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 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 a 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, wishing you were here

Pink Floyd - Wined And Dined Lyrics

Wined And Dined Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Wined and dined, Oh it seemed just like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
Kind of love I'd never seen
Only last summer, it's not so long ago...
Just last summer, now musk winds blow...

Wined and dined, Oh it seemed just like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
Kind of love I'd never seen
Only last summer, it's not so long ago...
Just last summer, now musk winds blow...

Chalk underfoot, life I should prove
Dancing in heat, Our love and you...

Wined and dined, Oh it seemed just like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
Kind of love I'd never seen
Only last summer, it's not so long ago...
Just last summer, now musk winds blow...

Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free Lyrics

When The Tigers Broke Free Lyrics - Pink Floyd

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 kind 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.

Pink Floyd - What Shall We Do Now Lyrics

What Shall We Do Now Lyrics - Pink Floyd

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
Contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

Pink Floyd - What Do You Want From Me Lyrics

What Do You Want From Me Lyrics - Pink Floyd

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need

You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light

What do you want from me

Pink Floyd - Welcome To The Machine Lyrics

Welcome To The Machine Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.

Pink Floyd - Wearing The Inside Out Lyrics

Wearing The Inside Out Lyrics - Pink Floyd

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear it's darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

Pink Floyd - Waving My Arms In The Air never Lied To You Lyrics

Waving My Arms In The Air/never Lied To You Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Waving my arms in the air
Love, my love, got no care
No care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground
Stand up right where you stand
Call to you and what do you do
Laying back in a chair?
She's so high on the air
She's so high on the air
Half and half, half and half
All you have to do to call
Is hold her hand, stand a while
And then smile and we'll understand
Yes we do - yes, yes we do!
Oh what a girl i've got too!
Oh what a girl i've got too!
With her slinky look she held her tie to her hair
(and i) could see everywhere
No-one in the land, no-one
No-one in the land, no-one
But it rains on saturday - cats and dogs in the way
Stormy day, hey, hey
And you shouldn't try to be
What you can't be
And you shouldn't try to be
What you can't be
Call to you and what do you do

There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
And i won't know if you're here at all
There will be wine and drinking in the yard
There won't be anybody very hard
There will be lots of things that we can do
And all and more will be for you
Everything i knew i tried with you
But everything to you was never easy
So i went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
To see you looking too
But i know this. i know, i never lied to you
It's been just like you're gone
For just one day for so long!
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
But though i think of you, the things you do
When i'm with you, to be with you,
To be alone...can only think:
"why i am here? what's meant to be?"

Pink Floyd - Waiting For The Worms Lyrics

Waiting For The Worms Lyrics - Pink Floyd

Ooooh you cannot reach me now
Ooooh no matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
Waiting to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to put on a black shirt
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to turn on the showers v And fire the ovens
Waiting for the queers and the coons
And the reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms
Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again my friend
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again my friend
All you need to do is follow the worms.
