Wish You Were Here


Recommended Posts

Syd Barrett, founding lead singer of Pink Floyd, died today at age 60. 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 we found? The same old fears.Wish you were here.260px-Sydbarrettscar.jpg

The only great album pink floyd ever made was with barret... The real tragety is what happened to him in the 60's. The man that made piper at the gates died long, long ago. would that he had lived, I might have been spared "The Wall".

Freshman year a friend of a friend of a friend was hanging out in my room with about 10 other people. He was a big drinker...not much of a smoker. We all took some bong hits, and he got a little wierd. We talked for a bit, and I told him he should really listen to Dark Side of the Moon. He agreed.I put some big earphones on him and let it rip. Within ten minutes he was alternately rocking back and forth and dancing...the whole time yelling about how he had "The Numbness".Needless to say, he is now one of my best friends.

60? Wow, I'm surprised he lived that long.R.I.P.FYI - Wish You Were Here was included on the wedding CD my wife and I handed out to our guests.

RIP SidI've got a bike.You can ride it if you like.It's got a basket, a bell that rings,and things to make it look good.I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke.There's a tear up the front, it's red and black,I've had it for months.If you think it could look good then I guess it should.You're the kind of girl that fits in with my worldI'll give you anything, everything, if you want thingsI know a mouse and he hasn't got a house.I don't know why I call him Gerald.He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.I've got a clan of gingerbread men.Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish.You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.I'll give you anything, everything, if you want thingsI know a room full of musical tunes.Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.Let's go into the other room and make them work.
