A Pink Floyd song... Sparklehorse were to cover it for the EMI Compilation 'Come Again', and Thom collaborated with them. He sang his part over the phone in his hotel room, with the television on in the background to try and recreate the feel of the original song. |

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 you found? The same old fears Wish you were here |
