Have a Cigar (Pink Floyd cover) Lyrics
Come on here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make
it if you try;
they're gonna love you
Well I've always had a deep respect
and I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really
what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game,
boy,
we call it riding the Gravy Train
We're just knocked out,
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you
seen the chart
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into
a monster
if we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game,
boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train
You're gonna go far, fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make
it if you try;
they're gonna love you
Well I've always had a deep respect
and I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really
what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game,
boy,
we call it riding the Gravy Train
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you
seen the chart
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into
a monster
if we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game,
boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train

they made the lyrics " Oh by the way, which one's Pink?" different due to the fact that in Pink Floyds version that line only applied to them. When they became so successful in America due to Dark Side of the Moon, when meeting american producers, they asked that question. Not knowing Pink Floyd was named after 2 bluesman and not a particular band member.
a difference from the pf version, les says "the band is just fantastic, of the town you are the talk, oh and by the whay who the hells this bob cock*(or something like that in ock?). iono i just heard it...not entirely sure
Yeah, because Primus can't act like they're Floyd. Bob Cock was a guy that acted really annoying. He was used in their concerts, and he's in a few videos (Beginning of "Jerry", holding bagel dogs in "DMV", and he's in "My Name is Mud"). Also, he is in "Cheesy Home Video), Primus' little insider video dealy from the 90's.
" I hate Pink Floyd. "
BLASPHEMY!
well if you hate pink floyd then you have no right to like this song at all
Wow, you hate Pink Floyd, yet you like this song. Pink Floyd\'s version is way better, but this one is pretty interesting. I loved the way they changed the lyrics a bit, as you folks were discussing earlier.
Actually, when he says "And who the hell's this guy they call Bob Cock?" he's referring to the guy who did the first recording for Primus on 'Suck on this!'. He's been a friend of Les's for a long time, and helped them get started.
if you listen weel to other songs there is a lot of references to PF songs in Primus.
remember pudding time?? Nobody makes the link with another brick in the wall??
where can i find this song? Anyone?
