Do you guys think Pink Floyd know anything?

[Floydfan1028]

Me being a huge floyd fan and i know dave gilmour is friends with paul do you think those gents know the real story? I mean they recorded at abbey road alot of the times that paul was. Hmmm just throwing this out there to see if you guys ever heard any connection there. Btw hello to all.

[byrdsmaniac]

They would have to, and this has been discussed a bit on this forum. Go to the top of the page and do a search of "Pink Floyd". Put in about 700 days to cover what's been said in th last two years.

[Floydfan1028]

cool ill do that. I mean pink floyd is one of the elite british rock groups from the era. And they started recording around the time paul disappeared. Hmm i will have to look into this. thanks man

Don’t mind. why should I be frightened of dying?
There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime.’
’i never said I was frightened of dying.’

BRAIN DAMAGE

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.

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

BREATHE REPRISE

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

[BeatlePaul]

TIME

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the 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

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Yeah but i dont see any of these being aimed at the paul conspiracy. I mean they can be taken many different ways as most pink floyd music can. I was talking about do you guys think the boys of pink floyd know anything? As i said their music can be taken many ways. I am a natural skeptic until proven wrong.

[BeatlePaul]

There was an unreleased song about the Pink called "Miss Vagabond"

Do you know that?

[Floydfan1028]

I think i heard that on an older boot of rare songs i have. I have so many i am pretty sure i remember that. I am sure if paul was replaced dave and the gang know. They were all recording in the same studies. Pink floyd grew up slightly after the beatles hit the top but i would say they know whats going on. I am worried on these boards that my being a skeptic isnt liked. I get that feeling anyways.

Skepticism is allowed here, but we get weary of repeating answers to questions by doubters that have already been answered many times over. We'd rather discover new things than go over old ground.

Be sure to check out the lyrics Sister Mary Abbey posted on page 5 of the Ole Toro /Nat Jackley thread in the GENERAL section of a Floyd song that sounds perfect for Paul.

Oh do you get weary, maniac, awww, must be tough to have to "Carry That Weight".
Anyway, Floyd recorded Faul saying stuff for the Dark Side of the Moon album but apparently they were unhappy with his performance so they scrapped it.
What if they were really just trying to get a copy of Faul talking so they could analyze his voice to compare it with JPM's.Or, what if Faul got high and started talking about the truth and the record company wouldn't let Pink Floyd use it.
I'm sure they have a good idea about the Paul/Faul thing, but Syd was probably the only one who actually KNEW.
It's not like something people could talk outrightly about, hence all the cryptic messages.

[abbey]

Semolina, that does sound like a plausible scenario.

I also think that this might very well be about Bill & the boys.
