Green, Anthony - Wish You Were Here Lyrics






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?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And 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 you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

    A.... S....

    Allie Sailboat i care because those that are apart of the creation deserve recognition not just the cracking of the the mirror sugar boogar the mirror is very VERY important too me

    A.... S....

    S.... S....

    💕👻🖤🐜🍯💚🐸

  6. A.... S....

    You're wrong, David Gilmour does the main vocals in Wish You Were Here. Do you just enjoy being condescending and stupid at the same time? Get informed before you correct people, hun.

  7. c.... ....

    Thank you for this. So much. Anthony is Legend.

  8. A.... S....

    Roger Waters, hun.

  9. S.... S....

    I don't know about that, they are 2 different bands. Can't we just like them both? ;3

  10. V.... ....

    Does any one else think his voice kinda sounds like the guy from smashing pumpkins in this song?

  11. A.... B....

    Dumbass... Nobody truly understands the lyrics aside from David Gilmour. He watched his friend lose his mind

  12. D.... ....

    I know. And I feel like I do know I'm in some form. But, the comment that Anthony wouldn't have 'gone through enough' to understand the lyrics to this song was not true in my opinion. Because he has gone through a lot, as far as I know. And I bet there's even more that I don't know.

  13. C.... T....

    We all get to know Anthony personally, with each and every song he sings. As is with any musician! Music is intimate, with a name like "DaDaDaDrums" you should know that.

  14. J.... C....

    uh yea hes been through alot... go elsewhere

  15. D.... ....

    How do you know? I bet you don't know Anthony personally.

  16. l.... ....

    Music doesn't discriminate. I'm a 90's kid, but these lyrics touch me just as much as anybody else.

  17. S.... ....

    Thank you so much for posting this. :'DDDD

  18. D.... O....

    Anthony Green's been through a lot

    D.... O....

    Danielle O'Ghoul don’t we all

    D.... O....

    Not in a mean way

  19. S.... B....

    good effort, he hasn't been through nearly enough to understand the lyrics though. gonna have to listen to the actual just to save face =]

    S.... B....

    You're wrong. Coming from a huge fan who has seen a lot of his plight

    S.... B....

    Who tf are you anyways?

    S.... B....

    Who the fuck are you, It’s obvious you know nothing about Anthony Green he’s been through more than anyone trying to compare those kinda things like seriously please don’t contaminate the Gene pool the world has enough dumb fucks like you we don’t need any more
