  • Wish You Were Here
    Pink Floyd

    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?

    And 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 swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here.

      I went to my baby's house,

      and I sit down oh, on her steps.

      She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy

      You know, my husband just now left

      Sure 'nough, he just now left

      Sure 'nough, he just now left"

      Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well


      Well, my mother told my father,

      just before hmmm, I was born,

      "I got a boy child's comin,

      He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,

      Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone

      Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"

      Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a

        State of Grace


        You know it makes no difference
        Whether we talk or not
        And it's much harder going in there in some times
        And jumping down from the top
        But if you talk to me
        I will listen to you
        With my eyes, my ears, my heart
        Till we both, reach a state of grace
        I will pull you out of a modern secret
        Till we both trust, the coast is clear
        Information gives to yourself, is information breeding
        Danger
        Breeding Danger
        You know it makes no difference
        If you remember times that I forgot
        Sometimes we need, nostalgia
        But there's a need for not
        Taking consciousness, for a granted
        I need to hear your courses
        So don't expect me to
        Cave into
        I don't want to go back there
        My senses would not fall
        Till we both, reach a state of grace
        I will pull you out of a modern secret
        Till we both trust, the coast is clear
        Information gives to yourself, is information breeding
        Danger
        Breeding Danger
        Breeding Danger
        Breeding Danger
        Breeding Danger
        Breeding Danger

          Grace


          Grace
          She takes the blame
          She covers the shame
          Removes the stain
          It could be her name

          Grace
          It's a name for a girl
          It's also a thought that
          Changed the world

          And when she walks on the street
          You can hear the strings
          Grace finds goodness
          In everything

          Grace
          She's got the walk
          Not on a wrapper on chalk
          She's got the time to talk

          She travels outside
          Of karma, karma
          She travels outside
          Of karma

          When she goes to work
          You can hear the strings
          Grace finds beauty
          In everything

          Grace
          She carries a world on her hips
          No champagne flute for her lips
          No twirls or skips
          Between her fingertips

          She carries a pearl
          In perfect condition
          What once was hers
          What once was friction
          What left a mark
          No longer stains

          Because grace makes beauty
          Out of ugly things

          Grace finds beauty
          In everything

          Grace finds goodness
          In everything
          "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

            You take away
            I feel the same

            You take away
            I feel the same
            All the promises you made to me you made in vain
            I lost myself inside your tainted smile again

            Cause you can't feel my ANGER
            You can't feel my pain
            You can't feel my torment
            Driving me insane
            I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
            You can't take away
            Make me whole again

            I feel betrayed
            Stuck in your ways
            And you rip me apart
            With the brutal things you say
            I can't deal with **** anymore
            I just look away

            Cause you can't feel my ANGER
            You can't feel my pain
            You can't feel my torment
            Driving me insane
            I can't fight these feelings they bring only pain
            You can't take away
            Make me whole again

            Mudshovel

            You take away
            I feel the same
            All these promises
            You promised only pain
            If you take away
            And leave me with nothing again

            'Cause you can't feel my ANGER
            You can't feel my pain
            You can't feel my torment
            Driving me insane
            I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
            You can't take away
            Make me whole again

            You will feel my anger
            You will feel my pain
            You will feel my torment
            Driving you insane
            I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
            You won't take away
            I'll be whole again

                "Not A Day Goes By"

                Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
                Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
                Got a mem'ry of you I carry in my soul
                I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
                And if you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
                But the truth is, baby, if you could read my mind

                Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
                After all this time, you're still with me, it's true (oh)
                Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
                Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by


                I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
                Thinking you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
                And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
                Wishin' you were next to me with your head against my heart
                If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
                But the truth is, baby, if you could read my mind

                Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
                After all this time, you're still with me, it's true (oh)
                Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
                Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by


                Minutes turn to hours and the hours to days
                Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way

                Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
                After all this time, you're still with me, it's true (oh)
                Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
                Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

                That I don't think of you

                      God never listened to Charlie Parker
                      Charlie Parker lived in vain
                      Blasphemer, womanizer,
                      Let a needle numb his brain
                      Wash away his monkey music
                      Damn his demons, damn his pain

                      What's the point of Albert Einstein?
                      What do we need Physics for?
                      Heresy's his inspiration
                      Corrupt and rotten to the core
                      Damn his devious mathematics
                      Damn his deadly atom war

                      There's a message on the wind
                      Calling me to glory somewhere
                      There are signs too deep for the dumb
                      Like perfume on the air
                      And when I get to Heaven
                      I won't realize I'm there

                      Hard to hear my oratory
                      Hard to hear my inner voice

                      Van Gogh, Botticelli
                      Scraping paint onto a board
                      Colour is the fuel of madness
                      That's no way to praise the Lord
                      Grey's the colour of the pious
                      Knelt upon the misericord

                      I'm familiar with the cover
                      I don't need to read the book
                      I police the world of action
                      Inside's where I never look
                      Got no time to help the worthless
                      Lotus-eaters, Mandarins, Crooks

                      There's a message on the wind
                      Calling me to glory somewhere
                      There are signs too deep for the dumb
                      Like perfume on the air
                      And when I get to Heaven
                      I won't realize I'm there

                      • The Finer Things
                        (Winwood/Jennings)


                        While there is time
                        Let's go out and feel everything
                        If you hold me
                        I will let you into my dream
                        For time is a river rolling into nowhere
                        We must live while we can
                        And we'll drink our cup of laughter

                        The finer things keep shining through
                        The way my soul gets lost in you
                        The finer things I feel in me
                        The golden dance life could be

                        Oh, I've been sad
                        And have walked bitter streets alone
                        And come morning
                        There's a good wind to blow me home
                        So time is a river rolling into nowhere
                        I will live while I can
                        I will have my ever after

                        The finer things keep shining through
                        The way my soul gets lost in you
                        The finer things I feel in me
                        The golden dance life could be

                        We go so fast, why don't we make it last
                        Life is glowing inside you and me
                        Please take my hand, here where I stand
                        Won't you come out and dance with me
                        Come see, with me, come see

                        And lovers try
                        'Til they get the best of the night
                        And come morning
                        They are tangled up in the light
                        So time be a river rolling into nowhere
                        They love while they can
                        And they think about the night so sweet

                        The finer things keep shining through
                        The way my soul gets lost in you
                        The finer things I feel in me
                        The golden dance life could be

                          Like thunder through the skies

                          You're always the winner
                          The victor and the giver
                          Somewhere through that winter
                          You'll never be alone

                          Somewhere through that winter
                          You will not grow old

                          So you carry time
                          Down the tortured line
                          Where mysteries show
                          Well hidden from
                          Life's Learned and life's Wise
                          Man's useless ways

                          (Chorus)

                          Still you run out in the morning
                          With the boys and the girls
                          A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
                          We'll search every reason
                          Wherever we roam
                          To find a place for these
                          Broken hearts and bones

                          We'll keep a fire on the hillsides
                          After the summer's gone
                          And we'll wait here
                          Till the war-wounded come home
                          "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                              Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
                              Sound of their breath fades with the light.
                              I think about the loveless fascination,
                              Under the Milky Way tonight.


                              Lower the curtain down in Memphis,
                              Lower the curtain down all right.
                              I got no time for private consultation,
                              Under the Milky Way tonight.


                              Wish I knew what you were looking for.
                              Might have known what you would find.

                              And it's something quite peculiar,
                              Something that's shimmering and white.
                              Leads you here despite your destination,
                              Under the Milky Way tonight


                              Wish I knew what you were looking for.

                                Don't sing me lullabies
                                I won't close my eyes
                                I can't close my eyes
                                It's true, I'm doomed
                                Til dawn shines through
                                Got too many things to do
                                Got friends to see
                                I can't miss a thing
                                It's true, I'm through
                                I'm screwed, unglued
                                I won't close my eyes
                                I can't close my eyes
                                I never close my eyes
                                You see, they're always there with funny hair
                                Oh, I'm so scared

                                Make the coffee black as night
                                Help me through the night
                                I know their appetite for me
                                I'm meat but I'm sweet as can be
                                And if I do too much booze
                                I begin to snooze
                                I hear the big old floppy shoes
                                It's true, I'm stew, unchewed

                                I won't close my eyes
                                I can't close my eyes

                                Damned If I Do


                                I'm gonna sign my name
                                to full confession.
                                It seems the woman I loved last night
                                belongs to another man.
                                They like to take you home;
                                they like to purr and tease you.
                                but I'm a passionate man,
                                and I couldn't leave her alone.

                                'Cause you are damned if you do,
                                damned if you don't;
                                damned if you will,
                                damned if you won't.

                                Sometimes they look so good,
                                but don't you let'em deceive ya.

                                'Cause then you find out that they got
                                some kind of a venomous mind.
                                And the thing that's worse
                                is that it all seems worth it.

                                I'm still a passionate man,
                                and she wouldn't leave me alone.

                                If you think that being a stud is easy,
                                well, now don't ask me, boys;
                                I wouldn't know.
                                I'm a little slow.

                                And you are damned if you do,
                                and damned if you don't;
                                you are damned if you will,
                                and your damned if you won't.

                                If you think that being a stud is easy,
                                well, now don't ask me, boys;
                                I wouldn't know.
                                I'm a little slow.
                                Gonna sign my name
                                to full confession.
                                It seems the woman I loved last night
                                belongs to another man.
                                They like to take you home;
                                they like to purr and tease you.
                                and I'm a passionate man,
                                and I couldn't leave her alone.

                                'Cause you are damned if you do,
                                damned if you don't;
                                damned if you will,
                                damned if you won't.

                                damned if you do,
                                damned if you don't;
                                damned if you will,
                                damned if you won't.

                                I'll be damned

                                I Just Wanna Be God


                                I'm in control
                                I got a bulletproof soul
                                And I'm full of self-esteem
                                I invented myself with no one's help
                                I'm a prototype supreme
                                I sit on my private throne
                                And run my lifestyle all alone
                                Me, myself and I agree
                                We don't need nobobdy else

                                I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
                                To any known authority
                                I really want to build my statue tall
                                That's all

                                I'm just trying to be God
                                I only wanna be God
                                I just wanna be God
                                Why can't I be God

                                I got no time to take advice
                                I want to gamble with my eternity
                                With loaded dice
                                I don't need a preacher in my face
                                When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race
                                Ain't gonna
                                Spend my life being no one's fool
                                I was born to rock and I was born to rule
                                But if I'm wrong on judgement day
                                I'm royally screwed with hell to pay

                                I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
                                To any known authority
                                I really want to build my statue tall
                                That's all

                                I'm just trying to be God
                                I only wanna be God
                                I just wanna be God
                                Why can't I be God

                                I'm just trying to be God
                                I only wanna be God
                                I just wanna be God
                                Why can't I be God

                                I'm just trying to be God
                                I only wanna be God
                                I just wanna be God
                                Why can't I be God



                                Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
