Always loved this line from Floyd... I'd like to think that I'd take the walk on part instead of a cage, but then, I look at my life so far and I do wonder if I haven't taken the opposite somehow! 😆
Am I allowed to shine on like a crazy diamond instead? (yes i do know it's a different song)
I prefer the 'quick slurp' line myself . . .
I'm 46, I traded my heroes for ghosts a long time ago.
Is it two lost souls or soles who swim in a fish bowl.
"Oh don't give me that do goody good buuuuullshit". Quite apt for our times I feel.
"Forward they shout from behind as the front rank died". One for Tony Blair.
depends on the cause and if i can tell obviously
Walk on part in a war. Hands down.
Quite possibly my favourite song of all time.
[i]Walk on part in a war. Hands down.[/i]
What, you want to go into war on all fours? Weirdo.
More appropriately perhaps...
[b][i]"Oi...Get your filthy hands off my
desert!"[/b][/i]
running over the same old ground, how we foooound the same old fears, year after year
my local loop. 2 drops never done because im basically a bit jey.
I'd quite like to be comfortable numb if I had to choose anything
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death = my feelings for the past few months.
Walk on part, definitely. "What did you do during the war Daddy?" just wouldn't be the same otherwise
Isn't it intended as more of an accusation that the other person has given up (on whatever good fight) and thrown in their morals for the sake of an easy life?
And did they get you trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cold breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
That's how I've always interpreted it.
"How I Wish You Were Here.. still fighting next to me, but you gave up. You git"
