Pink Floyd - Time Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
Time Lyrics & Meanings: Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day / 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. / / Home / Home again / I like to be here / When I ca

Pink Floyd - Echoes Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
Echoes Lyrics & Meanings: 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 where's or why's / 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 / No one speaks and no one tries / 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 / Come streaming in on sunlight wings / A million bright ambassadors of morning / / And no one sings me lullabies / And no one makes me

Pink Floyd - Sheep Lyrics & Meanings

|
Sheep Lyrics & Meanings: Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away / Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air / You better watch out / There may be dogs about / I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen / Things are not what they seem / / What do you get for pretending the danger's not real / Meek and obedient you follow the leader / Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel / What a surprise / / The look of terminal shock in your eyes / Now things are really what they seem / No, this is no bad dream / / The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want / He makes me down to lie / Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by / With bright knives he releaseth my soul / / He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places / He converteth me to lamb cutlets / For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger / When cometh the day we lowly ones / / Through quiet reflection, and great dedication / Master the art of karate / Lo, we shall rise up / And then we'll make the bugger's eyes wate

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
The Final Cut Lyrics & Meanings: Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes / I can barely define the shape of this moment in time / And far from flying high in clear blue skies / I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide / / If you negotiate the minefield in the drive / And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes / And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall / Dial the combination open the priesthole / And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall / There's a kid who had a big hallucination / Making love to girls in magazines / He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith / Could anybody love him / Or is it just a crazy dream? / / And if I show you my dark side / Will you still hold me tonight? / And if I open my heart to you / And show you my weak side / What would you do? / Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? / Would you take the children away / And leave me alone? / And smile in reassurance / As you whisper down the phone / Would you send me pac

Hey You Lyrics & Meanings: 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 a 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 you ! out there beyond the wall / Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me / Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all / Together we stand, divided we fall.

Pink Floyd - Sorrow Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
Sorrow Lyrics & Meanings: 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 & curdled with fright / his knees have trembled & 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 wind that blows through this night / and there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight / and silence that speaks so much louder than words / of promises broken.

Poles Apart Lyrics & Meanings: Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you / And did you see it was all going to be so right for me / Why did we tell you then / You were always the golden boy then / And that you¹d never lose that light in your eyes / / Hey you... did you ever realise what you'd become / And did you see that it wasn't only me you were running from / Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway / Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes / / The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty / I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me / And did you know... / / I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes

Summer '68 Lyrics & Meanings: Would you like to say something before you leave / Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel / We say goodbye before we've said hello / I hardly even like you I shouldn't care at all / We met just six hours ago the music was too loud / From your bed I came today and lost a bloody year / And I would like to know how do you feel? / How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel? / / Not a single word was said the night still hid our fears / Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need / I felt the cold far too soon in a room of ninety-five / My friends are lying in the sun I wish that I was there / Tomorrow brings another town another girl like you / Have you time before you leave to greet another man / Just you let me know how do you feel? / How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel? / / Good-bye to you / Charlotte Pringle's due / I've had enough for one day

Dogs Lyrics & Meanings: You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need / You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street / You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed / And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight / You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking / / And after a while, you can work on points for style / Like the club tie, and the firm handshake / A certain look in the eye and an easy smile / You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to / So that when they turn their backs on you, / You'll get the chance to put the knife in / / You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder / You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older / And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south / Hide your head in the sand, / Just another sad old man / All alone and dying of 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 i

High Hopes Lyrics & Meanings: Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young / In a world of magnets and miracles / Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary / The ringing of the division bell had begun / / Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway / Do they still meet there by the Cut / / There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps / Running before times took our dreams away / Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground / To a life consumed by slow decay / / The grass was greener / The light was brighter / When friends surrounded / The nights of wonder / / Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us / To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side / Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again / Dragged by the force of some inner tide / At a higher altitude with flag unfurled / We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world / / Encumbered forever by desire and ambition / There's a hunger still unsatisfied / Our weary e

One Slip Lyrics & Meanings: A restless eye across a weary room / a glazed look and I was on the road to ruin / the music played and played as we whirled without end / no hint, no word her honour to defend / / I will, I will, she sighed to my request / and then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put / to the test / then drowned in desire, our souls on fire / I led the way to the funeral pyre / and without a thought of the consequence / I gave in to my decadence / / one slip, and down the hole we fall / it seems to take no time at all / a momentary lapse of reason / that binds a life for life / a small regret, you won't forget / there'll be no sleep in here tonight / / was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? / or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just / like a glove? / the moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown / the year grew late and neither one wanted to remain / alone / / one slip, and down the hole we fall / it seems to take no time at all / a momentary lapse of reason

San Tropez Lyrics & Meanings: As I reach for a peach / Slide a ride down behind / a chauffeur in San Tropez / Breakin' a stick / With a brick on the sand / Ridin' a wave / In the wake of an old sedan / / Sleepin' alone in the / Drone of the darkness, / Scratched by the sand that / Fell from my love, / Deep in my dreams and I / Still hear her callin' / If you're alone / I'll come home / / Backward and home-bound / The pigeon, the dove / Gone with the wind / And the rain, on an airplane / Owning a home / With no silver spoon / I'm drinking champagne / Like a big tycoon / / Sooner than wait for / A break in the weather, / I'll gather my far-flung / Thoughts together / Speeding away / On the wind to a new day / And if you're alone / I'll come home / / And I pause for a while / By a country style / And listen to the things they say / Diggin' for gold / With a hoe in my hand / Open a book / Take a look at the way things stand / / And you're leading me down / To the place by the sea / I hear your soft voice /

The Gunner's Dream Lyrics & Meanings: Floating down / Through the clouds / Memories come rushing up to meet me now / But in the space between the heavens / And in the corner of some foreign field / I had a dream / I had a dream / / Goodbye Max / Goodbye Ma / After the service / When you're walking slowly to the car / And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air / You hear the tolling bell / And touch the silk in your lapel / And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band / You take her frail hand / And hold on to the dream / / A place to stay / [Bloke:]

Burning Bridges Lyrics & Meanings: Bridges burning gladly / Merging with the shadows, / Flickering between the lines. / Stolen moments floating softly on the air, / Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher. / / Ancient bonds are breaking, / Moving on and changing sides. / Dreaming of a new day, / Cast aside the other way. / Magic visions stirring, / Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes. / / The doorway stands ajar, / The walls that once were high. / Beyond the gilded cage, / Beyond the reach of ties. / The moment is at hand. / She breaks the golden band.

Cirrus Minor Lyrics & Meanings: In a churchyard by a river / lazing in the haze of midday / laughing in the grasses and the graves / / Yellow bird you are not lonely / in singing and in flying on / in laughing and in leaving / / Willow weeping in the water / waving to the river-daughters / swaying in the ripples and the reeds / / On a trip to Cirrus Minor / saw a crater in the sun / A thousand miles of moonlight lazer

The Gnome Lyrics & Meanings: I want to tell you a story / About a little man / If I can / A gnome named Grimble Gromble / And little gnomes stay in their homes / Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine / / He wore a scarlet tunic / A blue green hood / It looked quite good / He had a big adventure / Amidst the grass / Fresh air at last / Wining, dining, biding his time / And then one day, hooray! / Another way for gnomes to say / Hooooray / / Look at the sky, look at the river / Isn't it good? / Look at the sky, look at the river / Isn't it good? / Winding, finding places to go / And then one day, hooray! / Another way for gnomes to say / Hooooray / Hooooray

The Narrow Way, Pt. 3 Lyrics & Meanings: Following the path as it leads toward /
the darkness in the north /
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy /
They've seen that hope before / /
And if you want to stay for a little bit
/ Rest your aching limbs for a little bit /
Before you the night is beckoning /
and you know you can't delay
/ You hear the night birds calling you /
but you can't catch the words they say
/ Close your ears, it lies beyond your way
/ / Mist is swirling, creatures crawling /
Hear the roar get louder in your ears /
You know the folly was your own /
but the force behind can't conquer all you fears
/ / And if you want to stay for a little bit
/ Rest your aching limbs for a little bit /
Before you the night is beckoning
/ and you know you can't delay /
You hear the night birds calling you
/ but you can't catch the words they say /
Close your ears, it lies beyond your way / /
Throw your though

The Nile Song Lyrics & Meanings: I was standing by the Nile / when I saw the lady smile / I would take her out a while for a while / like tears that like a child / how her golden hair was blowing wild / then she spread her wings to fly for to fly / soaring high above the breezes / going always where she pleases / / She will make it to island in the sun / I will follow her in her shadow / and I'll watch her from my window / one day I will catch her / / She is calling from the deep / summoning my soul to endless sleep / she is bound to drag me down

Wot's... Uh the Deal? Lyrics & Meanings: Heaven sent the promised land / Looks alright 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 lead into gold / 'Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul / And I think I'm growing old / / Flash the readies / Wot's...uh the deal? / Got to make it 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 lead into gold / 'Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul / And I think I'm growing old / / Fire bright by candlelight / And her by my side / 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
