1. here you go............
Pink Floyd
Shine On You Crazy Diamond Lyrics

Remember when you were young
you shine 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 an 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 to soon
you cried for the moon
shine on you crazy diamond
threatened by shadow and might
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 vision
come on you painter
you piper
you prisoner
and shine !

3. First section (it ain't one song)
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!


Wish You Were Here is a better song though:

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?



Actually the whole album is pretty damn good.

(Sorry those aren't complete only so much can be expected of me this time of night....)

Khash.
