Pink Floyd: Money

Here is another magic band, Pink Floyd. A group known for their far fetched lyrics. Founded in 1965, with the magical Syd Barrett who left the group later, and was reported mentally ill. With him were Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Right. This classic rock band has the record of the most sold album “The Dark side of the moon” with 741 weeks on the top 200 and 40 millions album sold. The album paints a picture of the world materialism, inhumanity, fast pace of life and armed conflicts, and this was in 1973!!!

This is one the Album's song: “Money” written by Roger Waters.



Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

J'aime bien Pink Floyd mais pas plus que Supertramp.
En ce moment ( depuis qq mois ) j'ecoute Bronce Kebeat ( sorry for the mis-spelling ) j'aimerai beaucoup re-entendre Simply red, Jimmy sommerville....Si tu aime ça aussi j'aurai eu bcp de chance.....A +

Le groupe est Bronski Beat mais Sommerville, un pop singer ecossais, les a quitte au milieu des annees 80 pour un autre groupe et puis il s'est remis en solo et on entend plus parler de lui. Je ne connais pas "Simply Red" mais je connais "You Make Me Feel Real" un classique des boumes des annees 80 :-). Regales toi

j'espérais en secret avoir droit à "confortably numb" des Pink floyd... Money est pas mal non plus ms c loin d'être représentatif du génie des Pink floyd

Ah bien sur,je me rappele de ca, surtout "Holding Back The Years", et "If You Don't Know Me Now", mais je les connaissais comme des chansons de Mick Hucknall, pas Simply red. C'est vrai, c'est un regal. Merci.
