Pink Floyd

[Verse 1]
You staggered away from those desperate days
Leaving of a trail of fear and degradation
Went downtown, he loitered around
In front of the flea pit by the railway station
Deep down next to his heart
In the inside pocket of his cheap leather jacket
He secretly fingers
A dog-eared card that read

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

[Verse 2]
A beautiful girl looked down from the wall
In a grimy frame beside the next attraction
He hid in the queue with his tongue hanging out
Staring up in silent admiration
Deep down near my heart
In the early hours from the lost world in the silver screen
And the silent scream

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

[Verse 1]
You staggered away from those desperate days
Leaving of a trail of fear and degradation
Went downtown, he loitered around
In front of the flea pit by the railway station
Deep down next to his heart
In the inside pocket of his cheap leather jacket
He secretly fingers
A dog-eared card that read

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

Pink Floyd was a British rock band who managed to carve a path for progressive and psychedelic music in a way that was uniquely fascinating at the time and has remained equally momentous in the modern age. The name “Pink Floyd” came from two blues musicians that founding member Syd Barrett idolized—Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

The band was formed in 1965 London by Barrett (guitars, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass), and Richard Wright (keyboards). Sometime after releasing their debut album, 1967’s The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the group saw the addition of a second singer-guitarist, David Gilmour. This acted largely as a means of replacing Barrett, who was forced to leave in 1968 for mental health reasons, resulting in Waters taking over as the main vocalist.

The band broke into the mainstream with 1973’s Dark Side of the Moon, an album that became one of the best-selling and most influential records in music history. Their follow-up efforts, 1975’s Wish You Were Here and 1977’s Animals, also sold well. However, the band started to see some in-fighting while making their next album, a rock opera about how Waters felt frustrated and detached from his audience. Waters seemingly became extremely controlling, firing Wright over disputes about touring and his contributions to the album. The result, 1979’s The Wall, became the best-selling double album of all time. It spawned iconic songs such as the #1 hit, “Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2,” and the melodic “Comfortably Numb.”
