02 Welcome to the Machine (07:26)
Welcome my son,
Welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school,
And you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.
03 Have a Cigar (05:08)
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar,
you're gonna go far,
you're gonna fly high,
you're never gonna die,
you're gonna make it if you try,
they're gonna love you.
I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere;
the band is just fantastic, that is really what I think,
oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it "Riding The Gravy Train".
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You're gonna get an album out,
you owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green,
have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start,
it could be made into a monster,
if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it "Riding The Gravy Train".
04 Wish You Were Here (05:40)
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?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
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

Forse non c'è bisogno di recensire questo capolavoro.
In tre quarti d'ora sono racchiuse 5 tracce di rarissima perfezione, di psichedelia allo stato puro...
Di Big D
I Pink Floyd sono un raggio di sole in una camera disordinata.
Solo quando senti le quattro note di "Shine On" capisci... di essere arrivato... e di aver solo iniziato.
Di Casacci91
Questo album può definirsi un concept album, dedicato a Syd Barrett.
Ditemi un po', non è questa la vera musica?
Di Em
"Wish You Were Here si può definire un concept album sull'assenza: della parola, ma anche dell'individuo e del pensiero."
"I Pink Floyd furono, sono e sempre saranno il gruppo che raggiunse la pura perfezione, sia musicalmente, sia 'testualmente'."
Di SydBarrett
È un album assolutamente da avere perché regala delle sensazioni uniche, come solo loro sanno fare.
La canzone "Wish You Were Here" dà i brividi anche oggi, senza dubbio una delle più belle di tutti i tempi.
