This thread is for those lyrics that mean something personnel to you

"There's someone in my head but it's not me" - Pink Floyd

These words have haunted me since I first heard them, many, many years ago.

This seems kinda topical to me - from an album released 40 years ago yesterday. This was written by a guy who died of cancer a while ago:-

"We were talking - about the space between us all,
and the people - who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late - when they pass away."

"We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold,
and the people, who gain the world and lose their soul.
They don't know. They can't see. Are you one of them?
When you see beyond yourself then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there."

This song was based on Hinduism, but I remember being given a "text" in Sunday School as a kid which was from Matthew's gospel (I think), and for some reason I remembered it. It read:

"What would it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?"

Here endeth the lesson.

....I thank you !!

Oh -and yes, Nattie - 'twas Eric Idle. Best sung whilst suspended from a wooden structure:

"If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing."

And.....

come on, now. Let's hear you !!

[Mochamoos]

"If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing."

And.....

For me its:

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 we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here


Dont think I need to say who it is by....

"Now, when I talked to God I knew He'd understand.
He said "Sit by me and I'll be your guiding hand
- but don't ask me what I think of you.
You might not get the answer that you wanted to.""

Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac - "Oh Well" (Years ago !!!)

Classic Bill and from the same song

I can`t help about the shape I`m in
I can`t sing , I ain`t pretty and my legs are thin
-but don`t ask me what I think of you
you might not get the answer that you wanted to

[Tools]

Oh christ Bill you`ve set me off on my favourite subject now Fleetwood Mac

Man of the world -

Shall I tell you about my life
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls
I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born
break:
And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could
I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I'm sure
About all the times I've cried
And how I don't want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love

You make loving fun-

Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever I go.
I never did believe in miracles,
But I've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I'm beginning to wonder why.
Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And I don't have to tell you you're the only one.
You make loving fun.
You make loving fun.

I could list every single one of Fleetwood Mac`s songs , but I am sure there would only be me and Bill looking at the thread in the end.

Man of the World - what an amazing song! I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and have never grown tired of it.

LOL - Peter Green used to live just round the corner from me in Richmond. I never met him, but my bruv did - in hospital !!! They both used to shuffle around together. Fried his brain on some duff drugs, I believe, but the guy is back on stage again !!!! He talks rubbish between numbers, I expect, but he plays like Peter Green always did.

Yes - Man of the World - another beauty, Sally.
