SG Fairy

Wish You Were Here.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies 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 heroes for ghosts ?
Hot ashes for trees ?
Hot air for a cool breeze ?
Cold comfort for chains ?
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

Founding Pink Floyd member Richard Wright has died of cancer at age 65.

I know there's a lot of other shit happening in the world, and normally I would have loved to pounce on the topics of Malaysian politics (ISA, anyone?), US politics (Palin is overrated), SG society (Gold, baby!) and various other things.... but I've not been my usual eloquent self of late, so screw off.

Better to mourn the death of someone who was involved in one of my absolute favorite songs.


And one cannot forget this too:


Oh well... life's a bitch, and then you die.
