When you hear this tune now, and remember what the Floyd was and what they later became, it sounds like they took a side road and got off track temporarily.

 Yes, this sounds very much like a Harry Nilsson song. He sang the theme song to "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". |

...hounds of love always sounded like a brief collection of unrelated singles, followed by the proper album, the ninth wave, to me - still, i very much agree about meddle and disintegration, both... |

When the piano break comes in, I always think "Gee Linus, I'm depressed. The little Red-Haired Girl wouldn't even look at me."
"It's OK, Charlie Brown."

I like the album a lot more than this song, one of the weakest elements imho...

My Mom liked this song. I would play it a lot to make her think I wasn't totally fucked up.

Why can't Gimour and Waters get back together. Today there solo projects suck... they need each other. This is a classic!

I suppose arrangements for shooting can be made. Address? Really though, can't you taste the PF tongue-in-cheek as well as smell the Aqua Velva?

So, that's what you call them in Cincinnati? We call them Outhouses (or "honey buckets") out West. But why do you wear cheap cologne when you use them? |

Notice where this song is placed on the LP...
I always thought placement was intentional to
get you through the harsher realities displayed
on the other tracks. :-k

Oh No no no no no.....don't rate Pink Floyd by just this song, this is a bit of tongue in cheek for them. They were very experimental and on the edge in their day. They have a great range of intoxicating sounds, which if understood can take you within the edge of your very own mind. Have you ever heard Division Bell? |
