Fun with Floyd

Some of my favorite Pink Floyd lyrics thrown together!

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

 

We don't need no education
We don’t need no thought control
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl

Mother do think she's good enough for me
Mother do think she's dangerous to me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart

 

I will, I will, she sighed to my request
and then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
and without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence

 

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.

Money, get away
get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
money, it's a gas
grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
new car, caviar, four star daydream
think I'll buy me a football team

 

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
when I come home cold and tired
it's good to warm my bones beside the fire
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?

Run rabbit run
dig that hole, forget the sun
and when at last the work is down
don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
for long you live and high you fly
but only if you ride the tide
and balanced on the biggest wave
you race towards an early grave

 

Author's Note

Nothing really creative here, except for the cut and pasting technique...

What are you saying??? Of course this is creative!!!! It takes a creative mind to create something creative from separate creations that have already been created!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really good! It works brilliantly, and as a Pink Floyd fan I am impressed.
But I think the poem is also accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with Floyd, as it makes so much sense and conveys -as anything should that is related to Pink Floyd (except Syd Barrett)- a real feeling and meaning...!!
(and I should know!!)

Aw, man, Floyd and Rush - are you using telepathic powers to conjure two of my favorite bands? Waters would be proud and, I think, tickled Pink (yeah, I HAD to go there) to read this whimsical, clever mash up.

[Rossen]

cool !!

[Tim]

Nice job of mashing it together pat. Sounded like a story.

[Ladysue]

[just rose.]

Ah, the memories of all those lyrics reconstructed in a fresh and new way ... the way the old Dark Side of the Moon LP was ... with the songs running into each other perfectly. Brilliant!

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Very creative!!! And who doesn't love Pink.. don't need drugs, just listen to Pink..
I enjoyed this well put together all my favorites by them .. which is all their music..
I love this!
Making poetry with muscians poetry is fun!

[J.Black]

Yes! I adore Pink Floyd. Don't need to put a date on it either, yes it was before my time but they are still so great they carried over into this decade too! What a great mash-up of song! Some of those lyrics I can identify! You rock.
