Pink Floyd - Time

Well I know these lyrics have been posted before, probably by me, I'm going to post them again simply because I've got this tune on right now and it speaks to me on SO many levels
Like sand in the glass...
Pink Floyd - Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way! Digging around on a piece of ground in your home town, Waiting for someone or something to show you the way!
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain, 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 time Plans that either come to walk, or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way! The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
--------------------
Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

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 everthing 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 toward 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 eyes INVITING and INCITING me to rise And through the window in the wall Comes streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabyes And no one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky

Us, and them And after all we?re only ordinary men. Me, and you. God only knows it?s noz what we would choose to do. Forward he cried from the rear And the front rank died. And the general sat and the lines on the map Moved from side to side. Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. Up and down. But in the end it?s only round and round. Haven?t you heard it?s a battle of words The poster bearer cried. Listen son, said the man with the gun There?s room for you inside.
I mean, they?re not gunna kill ya, so if you give ?em a quick short, Sharp, shock, they won?t do it again. dig it? I mean he get off Lightly, ?cos I would?ve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners Don?t cost nothing do they, eh?
Down and out It can?t be helped but there?s a lot of it about. With, without. And who?ll deny it?s what the fighting?s all about? Out of the way, it?s a busy day I?ve got things on my mind. For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died.

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, You're nearly a good laugh,Almost a joker, With your head down in the pig bin, Saying "Keep on digging." Pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find. When you're down in the pig mine. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are. You f**ked up old hag, ha ha charade you are. You radiate cold shafts of broken glass. You're nearly a good laugh, Almost worth a quick grin. You like the feel of steel, You're hot stuff with a hatpin, And good fun with a hand gun. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry.
Hey you, Whitehouse, Ha ha charade you are. You house proud town mouse, Ha ha charade you are You're trying to keep our feelings off the street. You're nearly a real treat, All tight lips and cold feet And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide, And keep it all on the inside. Mary you're nearly a treat, Mary you're nearly a treat But you're really a cry.

I thought it was that, too. Then I looked at some lyrics and they said "plans that either come to walk". I just listened to that part up as loud as I could stand, and it certainly sounds like "walk" now that I listen to it.

I will eat my hat if it says walk. Now I have to go listen to it...
The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I?ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me ?till I?m sane You lock the door And throw away the key There?s someone in my head but it?s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you?re in starts playing different tunes I?ll see you on the dark side of the moon

On a side note, did anyone see Australian Pink Floyd? I usually don't like cover bands, but they were great.

I ALWAYS thought it was "naught" (just makes sense, right?) and continued to think so until about half an hour ago...when I discovered it was "walk".
Listen to it up loud, it's definitely a "W" sound, not an "N".

Oooo you cannot reach me now, Oooo 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. ( worms to come. ) In perfect isolation, Here behind my wall, Waiting for the worms to come. ( 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 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 colored cousins, Home again, my friend? All you need to do is follow the worms.

Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature; This will not do. Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good In the end your honor. If they'd let me have my way I could Have flayed him into shape. But my hands were tied, The bleeding hearts and artists Let him get away with murder. Let me hammer him today?
Crazy, Toys in the attic I am crazy, Truly gone fishing. They must have taken my marbles away. Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.
You little shit you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key. You should have talked to me more often Than you did, but no! You had to go Your own way, have you broken any Homes up lately? Just five minutes, Worm your honor, Him and Me, alone.
Baaaaaaaaaabe! Come to mother baby, let me hold you In my arms. M'lud I never wanted him to Get in any trouble. Why'd he ever have to leave me? Worm, your honor, let me take him home.
Crazy, Over the rainbow, I am crazy, Bars in the window. There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in. Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.
The evidence before the court is Incontrivertable, there's no need for The jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before Of someone more deserving Of the full penaltie of law. The way you made them suffer, Your exquisite wife and mother, Fills me with the urge to defecate!
"Hey Judge! Shit on him!" Since, my friend, you have revealed your Deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before Your peers. Tear down the wall!

Look, Mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky.
Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye Goodbye

And now for my most favorite...........
Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain And get you on your feet again. Relax, I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok, just a little pinprick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. 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.

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 brought 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 gituar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the Machine

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
