Apples And Oranges
Pink Floyd · Other Songs - Pink Floyd
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
Thought you might to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
(quack quack)
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples And Oranges
Released in 1969, 'Apples And Oranges' stands as a pivotal track in Pink Floyd's early discography, marking their transition from psychedelic rock to progressive art rock. Recorded during the sessions that would later culminate in 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,' the song features the band's signature use of synthesizers and complex time signatures, establishing a sonic template for their future work. While often overshadowed by later albums, the recording showcases the collaborative spirit of Syd Barrett and the band's experimentation with studio techniques. Its inclusion in the 'Other Songs' category reflects its status as a foundational piece that preceded the more cohesive structures of 'The Wall,' serving as a crucial bridge in the group's evolution during the late 1960s.
