Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Day 8 of the album challenge

Brain Damage

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.


Lots of cloud cover tonight, so not expecting to see Mr Moon and well, that would be an obvious blip. So I had a little look for the lyrics from the album. Wow what fantastic lyrics. I am now pleased that there is likely to be no moon to badly capture tonight, but wish I could have thought of some way of capturing some of the other lyrics.

Someone on facebook has pointed out that on this date 15 years ago our GCSE results were published. I'm not sure how I feel about that!

But it does lead neatly to some more Dark Side of the Moon lyrics:

Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
