Do you think you can tell?
I love that Pink Floyd song.
There's something so lovely about it.
..heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, a smile from a veil, did they get you to trade cold comfort for change? wish you were here.
that's just bits of it, alexandra has got me questioning my whole sense of reality..... again
We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fish bowl year after year....-I heard this in concert last weekend, not by pink floyd though

I love that song. I heard it on the radio a few days ago, and everytime I hear it, it stays with me - haunting me, making me think - for days and days.

Yeah... I like Pink Floyd.
I also like way back in the Syd Barret days...

But yeah... That one is beautiful.
There is something haunting and eerie about it.'Would you exchange
A walk on part in the wall
For a lead role in a cage?'

A walk on part in a war

Possibly...
I thought it was a reference to "The Wall"
But I've been known to be wrong occasionally...

I looked up the lyrics in my pink floyd box set, oh what a lovely toy!!
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?
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

That I was wrong :-)
Actually... I was thinking about it on my way in to work this morning.
It is about it being hard to tell the difference between two crappy things...
And so it makes much more sense that way.
:-)
Thanks for that.

I quite like being wrong.
It means I get to learn something new :-)
