Wish you were here...

R.I.P. Syd Barrett

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 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.

That guy was a great musician.
Dark side of the moon is one of the most special albums to me.

Ooh, I missed this. A shame - time to listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn later!

It is a shame.
Am I right in saying he never left his mom's basement?
