Author Topic: Pink Floyd thread (Read 1940 times)

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.

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.

So 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 naught 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.

Some seriously crushing lyrics. They don't have to be, though.

Animals > Wish You Were Here > Piper > Meddle > A Saucerful of Secrets > Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall > Atom Heart Mother > The Final Cut > Ummagumma > Obscured by Clouds > More > The Division Bell > The Endless River > A Momentary Lapse of Reason

this is fact

Wish You Were Here and Animals are some damned good albums, but Dark Side is near flawless. Not sure if I'd agree with this ranking 100%.

I actually enjoyed the majority of the songs on momentary lapse in reason...

i think the top few of my fave floyd albums all merge into the one category of "incredible" and i couldnt rate one over the other

i always hum this to myself when biking home from a long ride. by this point, it's usually 7:30 PM, sunset has started and nobody is around, it's quite erie.
