I was listening to some Floyd earlier, I've been listening to the Dark Side of the Moon album over and over since the other day when I watched the DVD, and the following verses or breathe hit me:

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

I'm wondering if I have been listening to this over and over since then for a reason, perhaps I was supposed to hear the above verses, mainly the bits about flying high, and early grave, maybe they should have stirred something in me, and made me do or say something. But I guess I will never know.

I'm just watching Rage, and they are showing a "Rock Arena" episode from 1987, they just played a couple of Smith's songs:
"Girlfriend in a Coma" which is from the album "Strangeways, Here We Come", and
"Stop Me if you Think You've Heard this One Before", from the same album, which contains a roadsign saying "Strangeways".

The funeral was at the school that my mate went to, in Strangways Road.
