Pink Floyd - Let There Be More Light (A Saucerful Of Secrets)
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both

Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Pink Floyd Let There Be More Light - 1968-02-24 Bouton Rouge (03:57)
new let there be more light of bouton rouge video found, enjoy!.
I copy from the booklet included in the CD the correct lyrics from last paragraph:
"I live where I'm left
on the shelf like the rest
and the epilogue reads
like a sad song
Please pick up your camera
and use me again
and build me a time
when the characters rhyme
and the story line
is kind"

Yeah, that's my only beef with those two songs. Still great, though.
