| Wish You Were Here (1975) 1.) Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V Remember when we 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 in the crossfire Of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for far away 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! 2.) Welcome to the Machine 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 were 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 And always ate in the steak bar He loved to drive his Jaguar So welcome to the machine. 3.) Have a cigar Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar You're gonna go far, fly high You're never gonna die You're gonna make it if you try They're gonna love you Well, I've alwaya had a deep respect And I mean that most sincerely The band is just fantastic That is really what i think Oh, by the way, which one's pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it riding the gravy train 4.) Wish You Were Here 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? And 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 swimmin' in a fish bowl Year after year Runnin' over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here 5.) Shine on You Crazy Diamond VI-IX Nobody know where you are, how near or far Shine on you crazy diamond Pile on more layers, and I'll be joining you there Shine on you crazy diamond And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph Sail on the steel breeze Come on you boy child, you winner, you loser Come on you miner for truth and delusion And shine! |
