Pink Floyd - Time (2011 Remastered)

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the audio track of Time by Pink Floyd - the clocks ticking and chiming were designed to accentuate drugged experiences in those days :-)
"The clock sounds on this song were recorded by a sound engineer Alan Parsons in a clock shop. He said to the band when they gathered for the recording, "Listen, I just did all these things, I did all these clocks," and the band listened to his tape and said, "Great! Stick it on!" David Gilmour recalled in a 1984 interview, "And that, actually, is Alan Parsons' idea.

"Time"
Lyrics
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell"

Pink Floyd - Time [HQ] (Live in 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

All the songs on that album were great, SGT (Join to see). I think it ranks as one of the greatest albums ever released.

I played this 8 track at Fort Polk in 1973 - the guys on the other side of the splinter city barracks all took turns playing the same Al Green album, one after the other, and there was a lot of country. So I brought in Pink Floyd as a culture shock...lol.
