narcimund 0 #1 May 23, 2006 We were listing Pink Floyd songs that don't have some undercurrent of DOOM. The only one we could think of is "Bike": QuoteI've got a bike You can ride it if you like It's got a basket A bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could But I borrowed it You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I've got a cloak It's a bit of a joke There's a tear up the front It's red and black I've had it for months If you think it could look good Then I guess it should You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I know a mouse And he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald He's getting rather old But he's a good mouse You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I've got a clan of gingerbread men Here a man There a man Lots of gingerbread men Take a couple if you wish They're on the dish You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I know a room full of musical tunes Some rhyme Some ching Most of them are clockwork Let's go into the other room and make them work First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funks 1 #2 May 23, 2006 Dont forget about their infamous song titled "Girls" Girls - all I really want is girls And in the morning it's girls Cause in the evening it's girls I like the way that they walk And it's chill to hear them talk And I can always make them smile From White Castle to the Nile Back in the day There was this girl around the way She liked by home-piece M.C.A. He said he would not give her play I asked him, "Please?" - he said, "You may." Her pants were tight and that's ok If she would dance - I would D.J. We took a walk down to the bay I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!" I asked her out - she said, "No way!" I should've probably guess their gay So I broke North with no delay I heard she moved real far away That was two years ago this May I seen her just the other day Jackin' Mike D. to my dismay Girls - to do the dishes Girls - to clean up my room Girls - to do the laundry Girls - and in the bathroom Girls - that's all I really want is girls Two at a time - I want girls With new wave hairdos - I want girls I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls,girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!

Cornholio 0 #3 May 23, 2006 I never realized PF sung that song Funks.... Wasn't that the Beastie Boys ? Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #4 May 23, 2006 Wow..I'm impressed..not many know of or remember the early PF. That was written by Sid Barrett and appeared on the Piper at The Gates of Dawn album (with Barrett) which was also packaged with Saucerful of Secrets (with Gilmour) in the A Nice Pair set. Cool!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #5 May 23, 2006 well I guess "several species of small fury animals gathered to gether in a cave and groovign with the pict" COULD have had an undercurrent of DOOM. only b/c at the end the human voice seems to scare off those "several species of small fury animals gathered to gether in a cave and groovign with the pict" and seems to inticntively be the doom of their joy either way its fun to say"several species of small fury animals gathered to gether in a cave and groovign with the pict" I think it may be the longest song title I have ever heardMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #7 May 23, 2006 Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg He won it in the war, in 1944. Corporal Clegg had a medal too In orange, red, and blue He found it in the zoo. Dear, dear were they really sad for me? Dear, dear will they really laugh at me? Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him. Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin. Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain He's never been the same No one is to blame Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream From Her Majesty the queen His boots were very clean. Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

masterblaster72 0 #8 May 23, 2006 Ever hear The Gnome? It's a song about a gnome named "Crimble Cromble" Like that bizarre song "Bike" you quoted, this one's from the Syd Barrett days (their best days, IMO) QuoteI want to tell you a story about a little man if I can a gnome named Crimble Cromble And little gnomes stay in their homes. Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine. He wore a scarlet tunic a blue-green hood it looked quite good he had a big adventure admidst the grass fresh air at last wining, dining, biding his time And then one day hoorray another way for the gnomes to say hurray Hoooooooooray. Look at the sky, look at the river isn't it good look at the sky, look at the river isn't it good wining, finding places to go And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Hoooooooooray. Hooooooooooooooray. As an aside, anyone here ever listen to Syd Barrett's solo albums? They're great...once Roger Waters took over the lyric writing, they got *really* depressing.... edited to add: do you know what's up with the end of that "Bike" song? One of the most bizarre endings to a song that I ever heard...doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the song.

BigSky 2 #14 May 23, 2006 Well since you are talking about Syd Barrett the song "shine on you crazy diamond" I dont think really has an under current of doom. "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 crossfire 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"“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
