Shine On You Crazy Dimond (Part I-V)
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy dimond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy dimond
You were caught in the cross fire between childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for far away 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 dimond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed to the light
Shine on you crazy dimond
Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision
You rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Welcome To The Machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and 'Scouting for boys'
You bought a gituar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, now your nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar
He always ate in the steak bar
He loved to drive his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
Have a Cigar
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try; they're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh by the way, Which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the Gravy Train
We're just knocked out,
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out
You owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the Gravy Train
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a viel,
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 roll 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
Shine On you Crazy Dimond (Part VI-IX)
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy dimond
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy dimond
And we'll bask in the shadows of yesterday's triumph, and sail on the steel breeze
Com on you boy-child, you winner and looser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
