Joe's #2

Let's head to England, where we will find this legendary rock band.  They have been around since 1965, and have produced numerous memorable hits. et they are only making their second appearance in a top ten! This is the title track off of their 1975 album...

Joe's number 2 song is...
Pink Floyd ~ Wish You Were Here


"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 we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here"
