@ALBUM: Wish You Were Here

@SONG: Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V

Remember when you were young,

You shone like the sun

Shine on you crazy diamond

Now there's a look in your eyes,

Like black holes in the sky

Shine on you crazy diamond

You were caught on the crossfire

Of childhood and stardom,

Blown on the steel breeze

Come on you target

For faraway laughter,

Come on you stranger,

You legend, you martyr, and shine!

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 welcome

With 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!

@SONG: Welcome to the Machine

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 bought a guitar to punish your ma,

And you didn't like school,

And you know 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 guitar,

He always ate in the Steak Bar

He loved to drive in his Jaguar

So welcome to the machine.

@SONG: Have a Cigar

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar

You're gonna go far,

You're gonna 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 monster

If 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.

@SONG: Wish You Were Here

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.

@SONG: 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 you there

Shine on you crazy diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow

Of yesterday's triumph,

Sail on the steel breeze

Come on you boy child,

You winner and loser,

Come on you miner

For truth and delusion, and shine!
