Best lyrics ever?

Effervescing Elephant. Wow.

try to think whats the real meanning of the song coming back to life and there is your answer.comfertably numb has thw strongest words in my opinion


i never thought that u lose the light in your eyes

I'm surprised no one has mentioned One of These Days!

i love that song. its catchy as hell.

For me really no favorite lyrics they all mean so much. But..... if I had to hehe
choose it would either be
Echoes:
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inciting and invting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlights wings
A million ambassador of morning

or

Grantchester Meadows:
Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea.

I just love the descriptive stuff

umm gotta say Nobody Home,
"ive got wild staring eyes,and ive got a strong urge to fly but ive got nowhere to fly to......."

and WYWH,
"How I wish, how I wish you were here,
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl,
Year after year.
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears,
Wish you were here.

High Hopes, Echoes, Time, Shine On, Us & Them, Nobody Home, Dogs, Yet Another Movie...

High Hopes and Echoes are the most poetic and beautiful, Time is the cleverest.

And a soft spot for Fat Old Sun...

Favourite Floyd lyrics? That's a toughy. Animals has got most of my favourite lyrics I suppose. Can't pick any song or line in particular. ATD is great though too, lyrically.

Echoes.
I also like Dogs, and Shine On and One of my turns (first verse)

1. Time
2. Dogs
3. Wish You Were Here

Honorable mention goes out to Have a Cigar, while not very deep, certainly a brilliant song in the context it was written. "Oh, by the way, Which One's Pink?" Classic.

comfortably numb
learning to fly
sorrow
time

WYWH
us and them
