Pink Floyd - Time (Lyrics)

[Get Up Kid]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
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.
So 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.

"You move like I want to. To see like your eyes do. We are downstairs where. No one can see. New life breakaway."

WOOHOO! WOOHOO!! Pink Floyd... oh how I love thee.....
------------------
What difference do you think you can make? One single man in all this madness...?

 

[LiQwidVibeZ]

Ah such a classic I think I might just have to listen to it right now. It reminds me of a poem I wrote about time while coming down off meth and ritalin it actually turned out to be one of my better poems but it needs some editing Ill post it sometime.

 

[ALY-KAT~]

My favorite Pink Floyd song (if it's possible to just pick one!)...

!!!!
I love these lyrics...!!
------------------
Imagine a time.. no fear, no crime...
A better tomorrow...no fears, no sorrow..
Imagine a place..beyond time, beyond space..
Imagine you'll find.. a new state of mind...
A guiding light thru your darkest night..
Imagine it's true..the future is, you..

 

[soulfly]

try listening to this song on acid sometime...
dear lord, the whole thing was playing BACKWARDS... it gave the song a whole new meaning

 

[Get Up Kid]

In the past few months I have become a major trip head, and by far Darkside of the Moon is the most amazing piece of music to listen to while on acid. Sooooo good
