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? That's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in a 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
You're gonna 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 helluva 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?
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.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (VI-IX)
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!
