I Love These Lyrics

Pink Floyd " 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?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool 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.


So long have I wished for you to be by my side. Holding my hand and being there for me instead of from afar.

We'd been waiting for a while for the follow up to 'Dark side of the Moon' and this didn't disappoint. Another two years before 'Animals' (forgettable, apart from the cover) and then there was 'The Wall', which was...epic!

There was a performance of that at the site of the Berlin Wall in 1990...the symbolism wasn't lost on Europeans now of a certain age...
