This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
As I reach for a peach
Slide a ride down behind
a chauffeur in San Tropez
Breakin' a stick
With a brick on the sand
Ridin' a wave
In the wake of an old sedan
Sleepin' alone in the
Drone of the darkness,
Scratched by the sand that
Fell from my love,
Deep in my dreams and I
Still hear her callin'
If you're alone
I'll come home
Backward and home-bound
The pigeon, the dove
Gone with the wind
And the rain, on an airplane
Owning a home
With no silver spoon
I'm drinking champagne
Like a big tycoon
Sooner than wait for
A break in the weather,
I'll gather my far-flung
Thoughts together
Speeding away
On the wind to a new day
And if you're alone
I'll come home
And I pause for a while
By a country style
And listen to the things they say
Diggin' for gold
With a hoe in my hand
Open a book
Take a look at the way things stand
And you're leading me down
To the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice
Calling to me
Making a date for
Later by phone
And if you're alone
I'll come home
Slide a ride down behind
a chauffeur in San Tropez
Breakin' a stick
With a brick on the sand
Ridin' a wave
In the wake of an old sedan
Sleepin' alone in the
Drone of the darkness,
Scratched by the sand that
Fell from my love,
Deep in my dreams and I
Still hear her callin'
If you're alone
I'll come home
Backward and home-bound
The pigeon, the dove
Gone with the wind
And the rain, on an airplane
Owning a home
With no silver spoon
I'm drinking champagne
Like a big tycoon
Sooner than wait for
A break in the weather,
I'll gather my far-flung
Thoughts together
Speeding away
On the wind to a new day
And if you're alone
I'll come home
And I pause for a while
By a country style
And listen to the things they say
Diggin' for gold
With a hoe in my hand
Open a book
Take a look at the way things stand
And you're leading me down
To the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice
Calling to me
Making a date for
Later by phone
And if you're alone
I'll come home

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I'm surprised that Everyone is simply saying, "this is just a pretty song." No one is taking into account Waters' multiple occassions talking about WWII, or the propensity for Floyd to create lyrics that hold much more meaning than first glance would reveal. This song could, of course, take dual meaning from their trip to San Tropez, as someone mentioned in a previous comment, AS WELL AS the Allied Landings that would play a large part in the liberation of France in 1944 (Operation Dragoon). But lets look at some of the terms used in this song, shall we?
As I reach for a peach - Peach = grenade Slide a rind down behind } The sofa in San Tropez. } - Rind, as in peach, slides behind a bunker, the sofa Breakin' a stick - Stick = Load of Paratroopers With a brick on the sand. - Fortified beachhead Ridin' a wave ] In the wake of an old sedan.] - Vehicles were brought ashore on "Ducks,"
The pigeon, the dove, - Fighters/Bombers (Recall "The Wall" movie animation)
I know there is more to the song, however I feel that Floyds lyrics can take so many meanings that I only wanted to point out what I was fairly certain about in this context. If anyone doubts Floyd's encounters with WWII, just remember "The Anzio bridgehead."
@CasHole Your premise is totally floawe, because the lyric is not "slide a Rind down behind", it's "slide a LINE down behind". That's the lyrics printed in the booklet in the original release of the actual Meddle CD. Same thing with "As I pause for a while by a country style". WRONG! the lyric is actually "As I pause for a while by a country stile". Look it up - a Stile is a set of steps that crosses up and over a fence, quite common in country and rural settings.<br /> Third error - "Digging for gold with a hoe in my hand" Also wrong - original lyric is "digging for gold in a hole in my hand"<br /> These three errors are exceedingly common in over 50% of the sites which claim to have the lyrics for this song. My reference is, as stated above, the actual book in the first CD release of the album.
