Between Two Points Lyrics, David Gilmour

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Luck and Strange Lyrics / Between Two Points Lyrics [Montgolfier Brothers cover]

Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I’ve never been
A place I’ve never been since

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can’t go too wrong

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They’re right, you’re wrong

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

And when the sky begins to fall
The blame – all along in you – is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They’re right, you’re wrong

Music Video for Between Two Points

The music video was filmed by Gavin Elder, a long time collaborator of David Gilmour’s, and is set in both Manchester and London. The location where David and Romany are at the steps by a river is down the steps from The Elder Press Café leading down to the Thames. The video is directed by long-time Gilmour collaborator Gavin Elder so not sure if there is a connection there. The video also takes us to the The Kings Arms pub in Salford which has significance because Roger Quigley, one half of the Montgolfier Brothers who wrote the song, had his studio in the King’s Arms. So there you go, a little back story.
