Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965 by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters and Richard Wright, with David Gilmour joining at the end of 1967. Gaining an early underground following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished by their extended compositions, sonic experiments, philosophical lyrics, and elaborate live performances, becoming a leading progressive rock band.

Song Excerpts

All You Touch and All You See, Is All Your Life Will Ever Be

And all you touch and all you see,
is all your life will ever be

Pink Floyd
Breathe (In the Air)

All in All You’re Just Another Brick in the Wall

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall –
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

Pink Floyd
Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)

And Who Knows Which Is Which and Who Is Who

And who knows
which is which
and who is who

Pink Floyd
Us and Them

But Only if You Ride the Tide

For long you live and high you fly,
but only if you ride the tide –
And balanced on the biggest wave,
you race towards an early grave

Pink Floyd
Breathe (In the Air)

But the Sun Is Eclipsed by the Moon

And everything under the sun is in tune,
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Pink Floyd
Eclipse

Can’t Keep My Eyes From the Circling Sky

Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky

Pink Floyd
Learning to Fly

Can’t Keep My Mind From the Circling Sky

Can’t keep my mind from the circling sky

Pink Floyd
Learning to Fly

In the End It’s Only Round and Round

Up and down
And in the end it’s only
round and round

Pink Floyd
Us and Them

Is There Anyone Home?

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me –
Is there anyone home?

Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb

Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I

Tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit, I

Pink Floyd
Learning to Fly

Our Weary Eyes Still Stray to the Horizon (Lapse)

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Pink Floyd
High Hopes

Our Weary Eyes Still Stray to the Horizon (Stare)

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Pink Floyd
High Hopes

The Child Is Grown, the Dream Is Gone

The child is grown,
the dream is gone

Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb

The Paper Holds Their Folded Faces to the Floor

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and every day the paper boy brings more

Pink Floyd
Brain Damage

There Is No Dark Side in the Moon

There is no dark side in the moon, really.
Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.

(Gerry O’Driscoll)
Pink Floyd
Eclipse

There’s Someone in My Head but It’s Not Me

You make the change
You rearrange me till I’m sane
You lock the door and throw away the key
And there’s someone in my head
but it’s not me

Pink Floyd
Brain Damage

Using Words You Will Find Are Strange

Using words you will find are strange –
Mesmerized as they light the flame –
Feel the new wind of change

Pink Floyd
On the Turning Away

We Don’t Need No Thought Control

We don’t need no education –
We don’t need no thought control

Pink Floyd
Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)

Your Lips Move but I Can’t Hear What You’re Saying

There is no pain you are receding –
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon –
You are only coming through in waves –
Your lips move but I can’t hear
what you’re saying

Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb
