Pink Floyd & Billy Corgan Wish You Were Here Live Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 1996

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[MrLee192Gversion]

Billys like "must keep head down, that way, David Gilmour cannot invite me to play a solo". I love Smashing Pumpkins, but i think Billy made the right call, id shit my pants if i was playing with Floyd also.

[TheWatchGoesTick]

@BMSgreg64 David wrote the music to WYWH which always moves me. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics but Gilmour wrote the music. When Pink Floyd got in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, it pissed me off that the media and press didn't mention the band. VH1 did show a bit of Rick Wright's speech which was left off of the PULSE DVD. My older sister said it best about Roger's no-show "once an asshole, always an asshole". David and Rick Wright were the Pink Floyd sound.

David Gilmour wrote this song as a tribute to Syd Barrett - only true Floyd fans know he was.......

[SWbro94]

damn, Gilmour's voice is so fuckin smooth.
