THE LUNATIC



Brain Damage 


(Waters) 3:50 

The lunatic is on the grass. 
The lunatic is on the grass. 
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs. 
Got to keep the loonies on the path. 

The lunatic is in the hall. 
The lunatics are in my hall. 
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor 
And every day the paper boy brings more. 

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon 
And if there is no room upon the hill 
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too 
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. 

The lunatic is in my head. 
The lunatic is in my head 
You raise the blade, you make the change 
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. 
You lock the door 
And throw away the key 
There's someone in my head but it's not me. 

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear 
You shout and no one seems to hear. 
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes 
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. 

"I can't think of anything to say except... 
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!

NYPOST: Roger Waters of Pink Floyd to Marry


Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters will tie the knot with longtime fiancée Laurie Durning. The Floyd founder, for whom this will be a fourth marriage, and the pretty blonde, a filmmaker, will wed before Waters hits the road early next year for his tour. After a seven-year engagement, Durning told us over lunch at Amaranth the other day, “It just seems like a good time to do it before the tour.” The couple is shopping for a new engagement ring to replace one Durning lost in London after Waters popped the question. But don’t expect a Paul McCartney-style extravaganza: Durning says she’ll only have close friends at a “private and low-key” ceremony.

Today in Pink Floyd History - Oct 15

In 1966, the psychedelic rock group "Pink Floyd" was introduced to a large audience for the first time when they shared the bill with "The Soft Machine" at a launching party for the London underground newspaper, "International Times." 


They had not yet made their first record. That would come in January, 1967 with "Arnold Layne," which made the British top 20 but wasn't heard much in North America. "Pink Floyd" would become one of the top rock bands in the world six years later with the release of the album "Dark Side of the Moon."

The Pink Floyd Flood Begins


That sound you hear is a cash register opening.

Coins piling up.

Sales being tallied. It's what opens the classic Pink Floyd song Money and it's what is sure to accompany the rush of passionate Floyd fans emptying their bank accounts to purchase the first round of remastered reissues of all of the iconic band's catalogue and various box sets.


-----
-----


As their contemporaries issued and reissued and rereissued their older material - adding a song here, a bonus there in an attempt to make this one that much more definitive and that one obsolete - it's something the band has resisted for a great deal of time. Even their "greatest hits" album Echoes was less an opportunity to cash in on their most recognizable songs than it was about making a whole new artistic statement.

But now, the time has come, the dam has been opened and the flood of Floyd has begun.

Today, under the banner Why Pink Floyd. . .?, their longtime label EMI starts the roll out with the release of the remastered versions - CDs, LPs and digital - of their 14 studio albums, from the psych Syd Barrett-led early days of The Piper At the Gates of Dawn through their '70s heyday marked by milestone recordings such as The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall, and then to their somewhat less artistically successful post-Roger Waters era.

It's the perfect opportunity for fans new and old to pick and choose and avoid the duds - the soundtrack for the 1969 film and the aforementioned David Gilmour minus Waters albums for a start - while improving on the listening experience greatly. As mindblowing as they can be in their original form, remastered they are stunning, with everything polished up to maximum headphone capacity by longtime collaborator James Guthrie. It shows why, at their best, Pink Floyd were brilliant mental expressionists, painting sonic canvasses with traditional melody and aural exploration. For Floyd, improving the quality of the sound and form only makes its impact that much greater.

Of course, for those who want the complete historical document of the band and its career or those completists who want it all again but cleaned up, there's the Discovery box set, which collects all of those albums - the good and the not-so - in one complete set.

The sound is there as well, as are the minimum liner notes - lyrics, credits - in, for this purpose, gatefold CD cases. What makes it all the more enticing for fans, though, is the 60-page booklet that accompanies it, featuring those equally iconic images that have illustrated their career, as collected by Floyd friend and designer Storm Thorgerson.

PINK FLOYD’S NICK MASON SAYS UPCOMING REISSUES ARE THEIR ‘LAST OPPORTUNITY TO RELEASE PHYSICAL RECORDS’

Pink Floyd drummer and resident band archivist Nick Mason has said Floyd previously had no interest in ever unleashing their outtakes, demos and other rarities on the world, but now they are gearing up for a massive reissue campaign of their entire back catalog with such goodies titled ‘Why Pink Floyd?’ What changed?

“We’ve perhaps got an appreciation now that people really are interested in this stuff,” explains Mason in a new ‘Why Pink Floyd’ promotional interview with InTheStudio.net. “I think originally there was sort of a feeling that only really, really mad people, people who lived on the moon, were really interested in all this sort of outtakes stuff.”

Mason continues, “More relevant is the fact that this is sort of the last opportunity to release physical records, that within two or three years, virtually everything will be downloaded. The thing about releasing the physical product is there’s all the artwork that goes with it, and I’d like that to be available for people who want it.”

We hope Mason is wrong about that last point — we a pretty big vinyl junkies ourselves and would hate to see everything go digital — but we will agree music is definitely going in a more digital direction. But whether or not this is the last time Floyd material is issued in a physical format, it certainly is the most expansive collections of reissues — including single-disc editions of every Pink Floyd album, as well as two-disc and box set versions of ‘Dark Side,’ ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘The Wall’ — that will ever be made available from the band.

What Do You Want From Me Lyrics - Division Bell Lyrics


What Do You Want From Me Lyrics
from Division Bell by Pink Floyd

As you look around this room tonight

Settle in your seat and dim the lights

Do you want my blood, do you want my tears

What do you want

What do you want from me

Should I sing until I can’t sing any more

Play these strings until my fingers are raw

You’re so hard to please

What do you want from me



Do you think that I know something you don’t know

What do you want from me

If I don’t promise you the answers would you go

What do you want from me

Should I stand out in the rain

Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you

I’m not the one you need

What do you want from me



You can have anything you want

You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water

Anything you want



You can own everything you see,

Sell your soul for complete control

Is that really what you need



You can lose yourself this night

See inside there is nothing to hide

Turn and face the light



What do you want from me

wish you were here lyrics - pink floyd


Pink floyd Wish You Were Here Lyrics 


Wish You Were Here Lyrics (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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 to trade
Your heros 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.

Money Lyrics - BEST VERSION

Pink Floyd Money Lyrics

http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/money-dark-lyrics.html

Money
(Waters) 6:32

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"
