    Winter's people watching
    As I sail from season's four
    To join some crazy ladies
    In a game upon the shore
    None of them with broken wings
    But still refuse to fly
    So with sweetness on my lips
    I smile a last goodbye

    You cant always get what you want,
    But if you try sometime, yeah,
    You just might find you get what you need!

    Pink Floyd: 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 veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
    And did they get you to trade your heroes 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?
    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 you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here.

    Hello.
    Is there anybody in there?
    Just nod if you can hear me.
    Is there anyone home?

    Come on, now.
    I hear youre feeling down.
    Well I can ease your pain,
    Get you on your feet again.

    Relax.
    I need some information first.
    Just the basic facts:
    Can you show me where it hurts?

    There is no pain, you are receding.
    A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
    You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
    When I was a child I had a fever.
    My hands felt just like two balloons.
    Now I got that feeling once again.
    I cant explain, you would not understand.
    This is not how I am.
    I have become comfortably numb.

    ......

    Another brilliant song from Pink Floyd.

    I always laugh when this one comes on the radio and I bloody well end up singing along with it at the top of my voice and people just stare and shake their heads usually laughing which isn't altogether bad, unless they're frustated with the windows down and waiting in peak hour traffic!!

    Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
    gonna grab some afternoon delight.
    My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
    Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
    When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
    And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

    Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

    Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
    looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
    Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
    and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

    Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

    Started out this morning feeling so polite
    I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
    But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
    a little afternoon delight.

    Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

    Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
    We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

    Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

    Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower

    There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
    Theres too much confusion, I cant get no relief.
    Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
    None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

    No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke,
    There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
    But you and i, weve been through that, and this is not our fate,
    So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

    All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
    While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

    Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
    Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

    I went hiking with Joe Spivy
    He developed poison ivy
    You remember Leonard Skinner
    He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

    All the counselors hate the waiters
    And the lake has alligators
    And the head coach wants no sissies
    So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

    How I don't want this should scare ya
    But my bunkmate has malaria
    You remember Jeffrey Hardy
    They're about to organize a searching party.

    Take me home, oh muddah, faddah
    Take me home, I hate Granada
    Don't leave me out in the forest where
    I might get eaten by a bear.
    Take me home I promise I will not make noise
    Or mess the house with other boys.
    Oh please don't make me stay
    I've been here one whole day

    When the still sea conspires an armor
    And her sullen and aborted
    Currents breed tiny monsters,
    True sailing is dead.

    Awkward instant
    And the first animal is jettisoned,
    Legs furiously pumping
    Their stiff green gallop,
    And heads bob up
    Poise
    Delicate
    Pause
    Consent
    In mute nostril agony
    Carefully refined
    And sealed over.

    They say that patriotism is the last refuge
    To which a scoundrel clings.
    Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
    Steal a lot and they make you king.
    There's only one step down from here, baby,
    It's called the land of permanent bliss.
    What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
