Pink Floyd lyrics

Album: Relics [1971]

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby Collecting clothes, moonshine washing lines They suit him fine On the wall hang a tall mirror Distorted view, see through, baby blue He got it Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same It takes two to know, two to know, Two to know, two to know Why can't you see Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne Arnold Layne Now he's caught a nasty sort of person They gave him time, doors bang chaingang He hated Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne don't do it again

See Emily Play
Emily tries but misunderstands She's often inclined to borrow Somebody's dream till tomorrow There is no other day Let's try it another way You'll loose your mind and play Free games today See Emily play Soon after dark Emily cries Gazing through trees in sorrow Hardly a sound till tomorrow Put on a gown that touches the ground Float on a river For ever and ever Emily, Emily

Julia Dream
Sunlight bright upon my pillow Lighter than an eilderdown Wishing that the weeping-willow Winds its branches round Julia dream Dream that queen Queen of all my dreams Every night I turn the light out Waiting for the velvet bride Will the scaly armadillo Find me where I'm hiding Will the misty master break me Will the key unlock my mind Will the following footsteps catch me Am I really dying

Paint Box
Last night I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Plaing to rules Trying to impress and feeling rather empty I had another drink What a way to spend this evening You don't turn up with their friends Playing their game Here in the scene or it should be Far away Getting up first without remembering Where I've been before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go Out to a show So what can I do, I can't think what to say She sees through any way Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late There she waits looking very angry As cross as she can be

Biding My Time
Wasting my time, resting my mind And I'll never pine for the sad days And the bad days When we were working from nine to five And if you don't mind I'll spend my time here by the fireside In the warm light of the love in her eyes
