”Two Suns In the Sunset” Melodie de: Pink Floyd In my rear view mirror The sun is going down Sinking behind bridges in the road I think of all the good things That we have left undone And I suffer premonitions Confirm suspicions Of the holocaust to come The rusty 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 Two suns in the sunset Could be the human race is run? Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck (oh no) You stretch the frozen moments with your fear And you’ll never hear their voices (daddy, daddy!) And you’ll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore As the windshield melts and my tears evaporate Leaving only charcoal to defend […]

”Learning to Fly” Melodie de: Pink Floyd Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a wind swept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that’s learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Friction lock, set Mixtures, rich Propellers, fully forward Flaps, set – 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction, check Above the planet on a wing […]

”The Great Gig In the Sky” Melodie de: Pink Floyd I am not frightened of dying, you know Any time will do, I don’t mind Why should I be frightened of dying? There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime I never said I was frightened of dying Compozitori: Richard Wright. Doar pentru utilizare non-comercială. Date de la: Musixmatch

”Time” Melodie de: Pink Floyd 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 hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun But it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you’re older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the […]

”Hey You” Melodie de: Pink Floyd Hey, you Out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old Can you feel me? Hey, you Standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey, you Don’t help them to bury the light Don’t give in without a fight Hey, you Out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey, you With your ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey, you Would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart I’m coming home But it was only fantasy The wall was too high, as you can see No matter how he tried, he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain Hey, you Out there on the road Always doing what you’re told Can you help me? Hey, […]

”Wish You Were Here” Melodie de: Pink Floyd And disciplinary remains mercifully Yes and um, I’m with you, Derek, this star nonsense Yes, yes Now which is it? I am sure of it 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 fishbowl, year after year Running over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here Compozitori: George […]

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 anymore? 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 […]

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking He’s haunted by the memory of a lost paradise In his youth or a dream, he can’t be precise He’s chained forever to a world that’s departed It’s not enough, it’s not enough His blood has frozen and curdled with fright His knees have trembled and given way in the night His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered One world, one soul Time pass, the river roll And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication And silent replies that swirl invitation Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea A grim intimation of what is to be There’s an unceasing […]

”Echoes” Melodie de: Pink Floyd Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand? And lead you through the land? And help me understand the best I can? And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes And no one speaks and no one tries And no one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall Upon my waking […]
