We all know Roger wrote all the lyrics from the Dark Side to TFC but of course the Narrow Way was before Roger took control of all the lyrics, so does anyone know who wrote the lyrics to this song?

100% certain. It was Dave Gilmour. Dave wanted Roger to write him some lyrics, but Rog told him to piss off.

Speaking of the lyrics to "The Narrow Way (Part 3)", why aren't they printed in the booklet of the studio "Ummagumma" CD? Or is it just my copy?
By the way--"I'd never written anything before. I just went into the studio and started waffling out, tacking bits and pieces together. I rang up Roger at one point and asked him to write me some lyrics. He just said, 'No.'" [-David Gilmour.]

And "Sorrow," not to mention both parts of "A New Machine." Plus "Coming Back to Life." Not to shy from "The Narrow Way..."

Speaking of "The Narrow Way", I don't particularly care for the transcription I have at my website. I don't know why, but I have a hard time understanding parts of it.

BTW, eugenesaxe, I got your PM, but it may take me awhile to respond. I'm not ignoring you!

Take your word for what? Did I say something offensive? I hope not...

Or take your word for the ITF concert matter?

I'd seen the same thing Talking Head had. Besides--if Mr. Waters ALLOWED him full credit, then that means RW didn't even write "a" or "the" in it!
