High Hopes...

Floydy zná asi většina návštěvníků těchto stránek. A někteří je dokonce i poslouchají. Takže tyhle písničky asi nebudou žádnou převratnou novinkou a ač sem samotné písničky dávám jen nerada, tyhle jsou teď hodně aktuální. Mají tu své místo. A to i přesto, že léto má být veselé. Bylo. Není. Bude.

High Hopes

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 night 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

Hey You

Hey you out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you standing in the aisles
with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight

Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call on would you touch me
Hey you would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart I am coming home

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high,
as you can see
No matter how he tried
he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain


Hey you out there on the road
Doing what you're told,can you help me
Hey you out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
