This looks like a great quiz, Graham, but I'm afraid I'm just not that familiar with Pink Floyd's lyrics... :-[

Karma to you, though, for doing it!  :)

Well done Frank, all correct  :). Particularly well done on #2, I wondered if anyone would recognise my transcript of the fantastic vocals by Clare Torry on this track.

Your dad has good taste little devil rider, I haven't started playing any Pink Floyd to my kids yet, I'll try some in the car later today!
Not sure whether my youngest will like it, her favourite band at the moment in The Jonas Brothers  ::).

Thanks Karen, if you've never really listened to Pink Floyd then I would recommend doing so. "Dark Side Of The Moon" is probably a good place to start, a classic for all the right reasons.

Thanks Kevin  ;D, your guesses are all correct.

A schoolfriend of mine, when we were aged about 14, submitted the lyrics of #11 to the school poetry competition. He was awarded first prize, until someone ratted on him to the English department!

The great gig in the sky is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. My wife can't stand it, she calls it "the crazy woman screaming "song

Oh, don't get me wrong...I love their songs!  It's just that I never really listened closely to the lyrics as the music always 'stuck out' more with me because it's so awesome!

And btw, I own a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon... ;)
