Ένα μικρό διαμάντι των Floyd, σύνθεση του οργανίστα Rick Wright, αγαπημένου μου μέλους του γκρουπ, ο οποίος και το ερμηνεύει. Είχε κυκλοφορήσει το 1967 ως flip side του ‘Apples And Oranges’.
Αρμονικός πλούτος, λυρισμός, ατμόσφαιρα ονείρου, ευγένεια στα όρια της ντροπαλότητας, χαρακτηρίζουν τα τραγούδια του RW, εξασφαλίζοντάς τους ιδιαίτερη θέση στον κατάλογο των πρώιμων Pink Floyd. Αυτό εδώ δεν αποτελεί εξαίρεση.

A little Floyd gem, composed by organist Rick Wright, my favorite member of the band, who performs it. It was released in 1967 as a flip side to ‘Apples And Oranges’.
Harmonic wealth, lyricism, dreamlike atmosphere, gentleness bordering timidity, are characteristics of RW’s songs, ensuring them a special place in early Pink Floyd’s catalogue. This one ‘s no exception.

Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
Drink – a – drink – a – drink – a – drink
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They’re in the scene I should have been
Far away
Away – away – away – away – away
Getting up, I feel as if I’m remembering this scene 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 anyway
Away – away – away – away – away
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
Be – a – be – a – be – a – be – a – be
Getting up, I feel as if I’m remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
