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 trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot
air for a cold 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 Parts:6-9
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
