Apples and Orange
Propongo un brano dei Pink Floyd "apples and oranges", singolo della band inglese, pubblicato il 18 novembre 1967. È l'ultimo singolo scritto da Syd Barrett, ed il terzo pubblicato dal gruppo.
A proposito del brano, Barrett così si espresse in una intervista dell'epoca: «È una canzone serena, e ha un che di natalizio. Parla di una ragazza che vidi camminare per strada giù in città, a Richmond»

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket

Feeling good at the top

Shopping in sharp shoes

She's 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

See you

Thought you might like to know

I'm her lorry driver man

She's on her own

Down by the river side

Feeding ducks in the afternoon tide

Apples and oranges

Apples and oranges

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I thought of you

And turned to the gate

On my way came up with the answers

I scratched my head

And the answers were gone

From hand to hand

Wrist to the elbow

Red blood sand

Could Dad be God

Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag

Forgive you? Why?

You hung me out to dry

Maybe I'm crazy

But laughing out loud

Makes the pain pass by

And maybe you're a little crazy

But laughing out loud makes

It all subside

Holding, I'm holding

I'm still falling

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I thought of this

And turned to the gate

But on my way

Crack

Lightning and thunder

I hid my head

And the storm slipped away

Well maybe I'm crazy

And laughing out loud

Makes it all pass by

And maybe you're a little crazy

And laughing out loud

Makes it all alright

Laughing out loud

From time to time

Minutes and hours

Some move ahead while

Some lag behind

It's like the balloon that

Rise and then vanish

This drop of hope

That falls from his eyes

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I think of this

And turn to go away

But as I walk

There're voices behind me saying

Sinners sin

Come now and play
