My favorite lines from that song are "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon," and "The paper holds their (the lunatics) folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more."

P.S. I LOVE your new avatar! Now that's the Poda I know and love.

"The paper holds their folded faces to the floor and every day the paper boy brings more."

One of the better political/anti-governemt lyrics of Roger Waters.

Just to hijack this thread back to the topic of "sentences", there are a number of great sentences in the lyrics of Pink Floyd. One of my faves from Animals ahs always been, "You radiate cold shafts of broken glass". Oh man, I'd hate to have a run in with that character!

I think I already quoted from that song "And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around." I also like from that album "Charade you are."

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

keithie you did it once again:

Quote:
from keithie master sage
"There's always been Ethel.
Jacob wake up you've got to tidy your room now.....
And then Mr Lewis.
Isn't it time that he was out on his own?
Over the garden wall.
Two little love birds Coo coo to you.
Keep those mowing blades sharp.........."
i've continually said "i know what i like and i like what i know" some folk get it, since it played on FM radio.

and since we mentioned floyd i love this one from Animals:

"you better watch out!...there may be dogs about!!!!"
and
"you better stay home and do as you're told...get outta the road if you want to grow old"

"Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise"

love the sheep & dogs

as for the avatar—thanks Yspaz did that one myself for a change...lovin your new one too!

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

I frankly think, that the title of the thread should have been:

The only one most important sentences in prog rock lyrics"

We will end up here with the lyrics of all tunes on AM....

Important is an odd word. Very nebulous.

If I had to pick one lyric, it would be the Who. "Every idea in my head, someone else has said".
