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 cross-fire 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!
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
Have A Cigar
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 hell of a 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
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 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.
Shine
On You Crazy Diamond (Part 2)
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, and
sail on the steel breeze. Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
