Death By Pink Floyd

Compiled entirely from Pink Floyd song titles (1970-1994)

What do you want from me?

Hey you -

            Is there anybody out there?

Outside the wall

If one of these days

When you’re in

Lost for words

Speak to me

Fearless, in the flesh

                   Wot’s.. uh the deal?

 

Sheep, dogs, pigs -

                   On the run, run like hell

A great day for freedom

Us and them

The happiest days of our lives -

                   The gold, it’s in the…

…the great gig in the sky -

Welcome to the machine

                   Have a cigar

Shine on you crazy diamond

 

Childhood’s end - take it back -

Money, high hopes, young lust -

                     Pigs on the wing

Echoes, poles apart,

                     Obscured by clouds

Brain damage, another brick in the wall

Any colour you like -

                     Eclipse, a pillow of winds -

Stop the trial, breathe time

       Burning bridges coming back to life.

 

Keep talking, comfortably numb

Waiting for the worms, one of my turns -

  Stay, mother, don’t leave me now

Marooned, wearing the inside out -

Empty spaces, the thin ice

     Nobody home, absolutely curtains

Goodbye blue sky, fat old sun

     Goodbye cruel world, mudmen

The show must go on…

                   …bring the boys back home.

"that is really what i think" ... and all of us are just ... "several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" ... :) ... a brilliant compilation!!! ...

This had me reaching for my iPod to see if there were any obvious ones you'd missed. See, Emily...Emily? Emily? Play damn you, play! Hmm, but was E 70-94? Shurely yes.

Oh my God I love Pink Floyd. This must be for a contest correct? I recently just reviewed a similar piece with incorporating song titles. You arranged them pretty nicely I must say.

Already caught your other tributes, now I have to look for the Beatles write. Love, Love, Love, Floyd! You get it...

I already wrote a long review here and wrong movement and all was gone, this windows7 is tricky! This poem makes a great feeling, I feel the music, it is a vibrant poem. Poets, painter, sculptors, require a lively acquaintance with their particular field, sort of aware connection and relationship with his idea or object to manoeuvre skillfully, to create a work of originality and this requires big talent: that's what I thought after reading this poem.

Excellent job! I've read a few of these "song title only" poems, but yours is the only one that's put together in a way that actually makes sense. I only know a few Pink Floyd songs as they're not my favorite, but even with not all of the titles being familiar it still flows well and came together nicely. I love this one. Very creative. 100% from mua.

This has a brilliant flow, taking these titles and weaving them into a coherent blend of music and lyrics. There is such powerful imagery, and you made the pieces fit just right. Excellent, powerful write!

A blast from the past... Time in a bottle of psychedelics.
