Favorite Lyrical Quote -- from Floyd or otherwise

as you can see below, mine is from free four

What is your favorite Pink Floyd lyric?

Most profound [PF] lyric personally?

"...Careful how you go, I can tell you 'cause I know..."

damned search engine, making me look like a fool. i suggest a higher quality search engine. i would tend to think that searching for "favorite quote" would have revealed such previous threads

Hmmm..."favorite quote" isn't a very good thing to search on in this instance.

I clicked on the SEARCH button above-right and looked first for "lyric" then "lyrics" and selected to search topic names rather than posts.

No worries. You did stipulate "from Floyd or otherwise" so it's not a true DDT.

Still...

"You try to scream, but it comes out as a yawn"

Since this one is here, I'll post on it.

Ohhhhhh so many.....

More good George Harrison stuff:


If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Taxman!

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always end up drivel
One day, I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh he said you think you're immune
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close"
"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percoator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Only a phase these dark cafe days

(Joni Mitchell -- The Last Time I Saw Richard)

I dreamed I was a pigeon
slipping through the heavens
like a 747
everyone left down below
locked in a house of my invention
learning the donts of fire prevention
if I roast marshmallows over their bodies
do you think god will still find their souls?

just want to be like we used to
under the influence
just want to see like we used to
under the influence

I dreamed I was a white tip
slipping through the Pacific
my heart for a shipwreck
and your legs left down below
some things they come, all things they go
and there ain't nothing like exploding
if you've got something to explode
