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 welcomeWith 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!

Welcome to the Machine Lyrics – Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Wish You Were Here Lyrics / Welcome to the Machine Lyrics Welcome to the Machine Lyrics(Waters) 7:30 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 brought a guitar to punish your ma,And you didn’t like school, and youknow you’re 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 gituar,He always ate in the Steak Bar.He loved to drive in his Jaguar.So welcome to the Machine. About the Song “Welcome to the Machine” is the second track on Pink Floyd’s 1975 album “Wish You Were Here.” The song stands as a critique of the music industry and the commodification of artists, featuring a stark, synthesizer-driven soundscape that...

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Wish You Were Here Lyrics / Have A Cigar Lyrics Have a Cigar Lyrics(Waters) 5:24 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 always 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. We’re just knocked out.We heard about the sell out.You gotta get an album out.You owe it to the people.We’re so happy we can hardly count.Everybody else is just green,Have you seen the chart?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,We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

Wish You Were Here Lyrics – Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Wish You Were Here Lyrics / Wish You Were Here Lyrics Wish You Were Here Lyrics (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17 So, so you think you can tellHeaven from Hell,Blue skys from pain.Can you tell a green fieldFrom a cold steel rail?A smile from a veil?Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to tradeYour heros for ghosts?Hot ashes for trees?Hot air for a cool breeze?Cold comfort for change?And did you exchangeA walk on part in the warFor a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here.We’re just two lost soulsSwimming 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. About the Song “Wish You Were Here” is the title track of Pink Floyd’s 1975 album and one of the band’s most beloved songs. It’s a poignant ode to absence and disenchantment,...
