Favorite Pink Floyd quote

Recommended Posts

Hey Zen....

"Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry."
:)

Most Floyd albums you can just put it on and leave it alone.... let it play . I like that, that you can't just stop the music in the middle of the album. It's all one long song to me.



Exactly right. That's the true test of how great "an album" is. Animals ranks in my all-time Top 5.


And my favorite quote (was my sig-line for awhile)...

"Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of oblivion into the dream."



As Howard Hessman once said..."Gripping." :)

I got me a rock-and-roll band.
It's a free-for-all."

My alltime favorite words by Floyd are from "Time" There's just something about these lines that gets to me each time I hear them.

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


'tis such a depressing song really... but melikes a lot.



My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Yyou have to be trusted by the ones that you lie to, so when they turn their backs on you, you have a chance to stick the knife in!"

From memory so i may be off a word or two.

If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you
We would zig-zag our way
through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.

You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me
So I don’t feel alone
Or the weight of the stone
Now that I’ve found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing.
