Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part One) 
  
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, blow on the steel breeze 
Come on you target for far away laughter, come on you 
stranger, you legend, you matyr, 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 to 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! 
  
Gilmour, Waters, Wright
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 his Jaguar 
So welcome to the machine 
  
Waters
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 fantasic, 
that is really what I think 
O by the way, wich 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 poeple. 
We're so happy we can hardly count 
Ererybody else is just green, 
have you seen the chart 
It's a hell of a 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 
  
Waters
 
 
Wish You Were Here 
  
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from a 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 you found? The same old fears 
Wish you were here 
  
Waters, Gilmour
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part 2) 
  
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, 
and sail on the steel breeze. 
Come on you boy-child, you winner and looser, 
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine! 
  
Waters, Gilmour, Wright
