1. SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND (PARTI-V)

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!


2. WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been? It's alright, we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the steak bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine


3. HAVE A CIGAR

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
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train

We're just knocked out
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start
It could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train


4. 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?
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


5. SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND (PART VI-IX)

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
