High Hopes, Pink Floyd, 1994
*Before you listen to this song, I urge you to listen to it with a good speaker or great headphones, just feel the music.*
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There’s a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we’ve been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
Remember that furry girl I used to like, that I talk about some of the time?
I’m probrobly going to ask her to see Zootopia as opposed to the girl I’m in love with, as she has a boyfriend and would probrobly say no.
Wish me luck.
Pink Floyd, Happiest Days of Our Lives
(if the lyrics are off, sorry I’m quoting them from memory. I love this song, it’s normally played with Another Brick in the Wall Part II, it’s sad how relivant this song is, either way, enjoy and lyrics and check it out, this is the album version, the movie version has some talking in the middle)
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers,
Who would hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision on anything we did,
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
(if you’re listening to the album version the teacher talks to Pink, I prefer the album version)
But in the town it was well know,
When they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
within inches of their lives!
*screech*
*segways into Another Brick in the Wall Part II*
Sorry about not posting yesterday, I’m not gonna give some crap excuse, I’m just lazy as shit.
