  Because you asked- the Dark Side of TST

There is a well known synchronicity phenomenon with The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyds DSOTM- as I am sure most of you are aware.
If for some reason your not- here’s an interesting site on what it’s all about.

http://members.cox.net/stegokitty/dsotr_pages/dsotr.htm

If you’ve never actually done this- you should- its weird, and worth it.

SO anyway – I was grooving on DSOTM in the car on tape, and noticed something a bit- weird.
Many, many of the lyrics seemed to be not synchronized with Terry’s writing- but similar or interesting-
It started for me with the phrase-“balanced on the biggest wave-
I thought of ” nearsighted girl…it’s a tidal wave, it’s a watery grave.
I shut off the tape and went…..
Breathe (breathe Deep)
Breathe in the Air (the Shape of Air)

can we see how many lines from DSOTM can be found in similar fashion with DA/LD/TST SE tunes?
You may be surprised.
Here is a site with PFs lyrics- (edit)

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stage/8226/darkside.html


I did the first line…

Breathe, (breathe Deep) Breathe in the Air (the Shape of Air)



so anyone?

Ps- there is a site somewhere I’ve seen that lists the spoken dialogue as well- I’ll try to get that…..

(thats it with the edit- KIM- its rated PG- i started with the first musical lines -feel free to start where the track starts......)

"The Cloud Bursts" ("The Bubble Bursts" Bibleland)

"The Old Man Died" ("The Old Man Heald Me By The Hand and Sighed His Final Breath" Scenic Routes).

  Sure Why Not--

Leave-but dont leave me

you smiled kindly and asked him to leave )- Rubber Sky



* I will put the tune the lyric is from- and being a dolt-
Where is that line from, Dorf?

Carl, Carl, -
Is it just Syd that needs a bit of help ? I sense some post Barrett hostility here........

True and not true. While I am annoyingly partial to Syd, I DID give the post-Syd Floyd props up to Meddle above. After that, I just don't care (aside from the very surprising The Final Cut).

"Have a Cigar" is from Wish You Were Here, bucko. And thus by yr definition, cheating.
