Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Pink Floyd cover.
Flaming Lips Version
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you painter, you poet, you prisoner, and shine
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you painter, you poet, you prisoner, and shine

The Lips have only covered "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" once, as part of a 1999 KCRW radio performance that had a segment themed as a cross between Pink Floyd and The Wizard Of Oz. This performance was stripped down and keyboard based.
