Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V
Remember when you were young, you shone likethe sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes inthe sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood andstardom, blown on the steel
breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come onyou stranger, you legend, you
martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried forthe moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed inthe light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with randomprecision, rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come onyou painter, you piper, you
prisoner, and shine!
Welcome to the Machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know whereyou've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time, providedwith toys and 'Scouting for
Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you'renobody'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 todream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a meanguitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive inhis Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.
Have a Cigar
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonnago far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if youtry;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I meanthat 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, wecall it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out. We heard about the sellout. You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we canhardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen thechart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monsterif we all pull together as a
team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, wecall it Riding the Gravy Train.
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blueskies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? Asmile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes forghosts? 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 fora 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 youfound? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond VI-IX
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining youthere.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, comeon you miner for truth and
delusion, and shine!
