Thread: RP Music - "One Slip", Pink Floyd

"One Slip", from "A momentary Lapse of reason", Pink Floyd. A song about what happens when you are careless and stupid and get some chick pregnant.

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word, her honour to defend


"I will, I will, " she sighed to my request
Then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence


One slip and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for a life
A small regret, you won't forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

Floyd has lots of good advise! Here's what I took and ran with!

WOW!!! Thanks guys..

This Be The Verse
By Philip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

Huge Pink Floyd fan here. Was lucky enough to be visiting family in So Cal recently, stopped by the Pink Floyd exhibition in LA. A Momentary Lapse of Reason gets too much hate imo, another good PF album overall.
