Pink Floyd- On The Run

🎵

[Instrumental]

[00:27]
Have your baggage and your passports ready and follow the green line to customs and then to immigration. BA 215 to Rome, Cairo and Lagos

[01:54: Roger Manifold]
Live for today, gone tomorrow. That's me

Pink Floyd- Time

🎵

[Intro]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

[Outro: David Gilmour]
Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells

🎵

Pink Floyd- The Great Gig In The Sky

🎵

[Intro: Gerry O'Driscoll]
I am not frightened of dying

Any time will do, I don't mind

Why should I be frightened of dying?

There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime

[Lyricless vocals: Clare Torry]

[3:33; whispered]
If you can hear this whispering, you are dying

[Bridge: Patricia Watts]
I never said I was afraid of dying

[Lyricless vocals: Clare Torry]
