Pink Floyd - Free Four Lyrics

one of my favorite from Pink Floyd

You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son

So fucking metal.

One of my favourite Floyd songs.Much overlooked

Crap. Pink Floyd never were able to rock or do a decent blues impersonation.

Need some more of this. ✌👏

Great tune !! Loved the obscured by clouds LP !!

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you'll make it to the top.
And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off.
You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son.
And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still in the run.
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.

Now that I'm a man in my old age, this song makes more sense.

Did Barrett genius.

Sid Barrett genius.

Every song on OBC is a good one. There is nothing to dislike about this album apart from a dreadful cover. Sorry, but it is. Storm sorted his shit out for the next couple to be fair to him though.

This was copied by spirit in the sky

Spirit in the Sky was released in 1969, 3 years before this album.

Jersey Joe oh really?

On this song you can see that they have been listen to David's Bowie Hunky Dory and T-Rex Electric warrior.

Existentialism redux.

Weird to see a to much happy song in pink floyd

Just read the lyrics and think again :P

The synth in this song really makes it stand out!

Over the decades I've begun to realize the extent to which different musicians and songs are influenced/inspired by each other. Anyone recognize the similarity to Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky" from 1969 (3 years before this song)?

OMG! Seriously! I am a lifelong fan of Pink. I never heard this song before tonight! They mix with my other favs the Beatles in this. What an ear worm! Early what they were about to be.

ONE
TWO

80 yrs with luck or even less. That's a scary thought albeit as true as it gets. Peace Ray Southland 1961-2019. Middle School Principal, Highly rated Wrestling Official, damn good guy.

This is my favorite song of my wife . thanks pink Floyd.

Wow Ito Ang sounds ko!works memorize ko to lahat.

One! Two! Free! Four!

It is a mighty fun to see how people shout their heads off how underrated the lesser known Floyd stuff is. Well, for the most part it isn't. It is less known for a good reason. I make an exception for "Atom Heart Mother" - that's a masterpiece that should be better known. But the other early stuff, and much of the late one, is a mixture of a few brilliant flashes and plenty of lacklustre wackiness. "Obscured by Clouds" is a sweet and charming album, very enjoyable. But it's neither a masterpiece nor underrated.

Piper at the Gates is a masterpiece

One, Two, FREE FOUR

And who is the master of fox hounds, and who says the hunt has begun ...

This is the calm before the storm!! The storm being Dark Side of the Moon!!

Great songs will live forever....

Free Four so true I still use some of those line in regular conversation

Great tune

1:29 Huh, that solo sounds a little bit like the one in _Comfortably Numb_ ...
Anyway, this is such an underrated album, but I'm glad I found it.

another great one

Run is Roger waters code for paranoia

At first, I thought it sounded like the Beatles... and that badass solo kicked in

Pink Floyd got the name 4 this song. When Syd Barrett said. 1. 2. 3. 4. Was actually. Free 4. Kinda neat. Luv those wacky floydsters. R n r

The de-e-eds of a hairdryer, are the deeds of it's use in it's time . Barrrrgh-rumphy, domph- e .

This song is so dark man

song for my funeral

First PF to get radio play.I bought the album and was blown away. Been that way since.

El Riff de David tiene el mismo sonido que en Rattle That lock.

I`d buy this song for free fidggy.

This is the British version of Spirit in the Sky

The stratocaster solo sounds epic in this song!

"The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime". Sounds like Roger Waters is singing about himself.

What is this song about???

A cheerful song about the depressing things in life.

It's pretty straight forward

the memoirs of a man

From the start of Meddle until the end of The Wall, this is the only Pink Floyd song I don't like. And even this has a nice guitar solo.

And who is the master of foxhounds
And who said the hunt has begun

1 2 free four

After listening to this song about World War II, it reminds me of the band that did the movie about WWII with Bob Geodolf in it. Did they sort of rip the off the idea from these dudes for the story is sort of similar.

Grossly underrated.

One...Two...Free Four.....Friggin' Excellent!

Great song, beautiful memories.

I love how the jaunty upbeat music contrasts with the incredibly depressing lyrics.

Reminds me of san tropez lol

play this at my funeral..... on cassette

That guitar solo. Short but sweet...

I am the dead man's son

Fantastic (and criminally underrated ) album. The lyrics hit harder and ring truer than in '95, when me and my brothers made a silly video to this track.

The master of Fox Hounds? Big Boss!

I was 10 when this album came out. Memories

Underrated and forgotten classic...still love it after hearing it in the 80's with a friend...had one of my first mindfucks when tripping

A rare and excellente song!!!!

At 3:10, you can hear someone talking.

*The funniest thing about this song is*

this might just be my favourite by Floyd,
catchy as fook
has meaning
amazing guitar solo
overall fantastic lol

Thanks for the upload:D

We all die.

Country Floyd

ONE-TWO-FREE-FOUR

Yes most underrated! One of the sickest, most rocking songs Floyd ever did! Waters smashing chords on the bass with wicked distortion. Gilmore's fucking wailing lead AND playing the 12 string. Wright on synth, Mason on drums. I do not see how these men could accomplish what they did!

life is a short warm moment and death is a long cold rest.......

Me and Art were sitting in his house in a empty living room tripping on lsd back in 72, "one of these days" came on his stereo, we didn't move! Still remember after all these years!

Is there no live version to be found for Free Four, or on dvd?

I find this song kind of hilarious. Some of the most morbid lyrics ever, with such a jolly upbeat pop instrumental.

At 3:44, you can hear the same sound from More Blues.

this and pigs three different ones two best

"Animals" was very under-rated. One of my favorites.

This is like if Neutral Milk Hotel met Pink Floyd

More like if Pink Floyd met Pink Floyd, dontcha think?

Man this is one fucked up song.

A Happy up tune pop song with dark lyrics and the synth from Obscured by clouds with a Kickass solo



That is what you call Art, kids!

This, surely, was (part of) the inspiration for Eric Idle's ALWAYS LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE ?!

Holy shit I love this tune! Reminds me of my dad when he was younger & wild

You know, haven't seen the film, but this seems more fitted to a wes anderson movie than whatever the actual one seems to be going for ^^" Still, a very nice song from the group, I like hearing them try different styles like that.

Fa da kind rang ire

Kinda reminds me of Neil young.

i dont get it

Talk to yourself as you die

i HAD A GRANDFATHER THAT DID THAT.

Thank you for the great song Roger & David!

I thought this was The Moody Blues for a long time...

I love this whole album!

Heard this as a kid loved it ever since such a classic so underrated this 1 especially ;) 👈👌✌🐄

Great song ....... so true to life

Roger's favorite subject, yes underrated--great, true song. Laugh at the reaper!

You are the angel of death & I am the dead man's son..

I got to see them on the Animals tour, first night, in Oakland in 1977. Still the best concert I've ever seen. Last time they played CWTAE in public as it turns out . . .
