The Piper orchestrated space into a dreamlike second-scene.
A Saucerful of darkness Set Controls for a sudden machine.
The Crazy Diamond gone with More, while Cirrus Minor felt the heat.
Umma was an unseen Axe that proved the members would not retreat.

An Atom Heart just said goodbye before it said hello to fame.
Welcome Meddling One of These Days was fit to feed a growing flame
Free Four Obscured by Clouds that veiled, the dark horizon lay ahead,
The Moon exploded dark forebodings, Time and Money kept it fed.

A tribute to that Crazy Diamond, a Wish to push the bar up more,
And Animals were charging next with human references galore.
The Wall brought forth a mental block, it fell and Pink was left exposed,
He didn't make the Final Cut, the Hero dropped, the case was closed.

A Momentary Lapse brought Signs of Life, the Sorrow was too much.
The Delicate Sounds of Thunder Echoed the past, but losing touch
Of the Division Bell; couldn't Keep Talking, clearly the end was near.
The Pulse just stopped the bad blood so they finally called it a career.

Weird and revered, they disappeared, legends live long and never die.
A tribute to Pink Floyd. The band's name is derived from two old jazz musicians by the names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, hence the alternative title. The sixteen lines are about their albums, with the last merely a closer. Hope you enjoy it.
