Pink Floyd enjoyed modest success in the late-19 60sas a psychedelicband led by Syd Barrett. Barrett's increasingly erratic behaviour eventually caused his colleagues to replace him after with guitarist David Gilmour. (Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 of complications arising from diabetes.) The band went on to record several elaborate concept albums; achieving worldwide success with 1973's (The second best-selling album of all time), 1975's , 1977's , and 1979's , among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rockmusic history.

Happiest Days Of Our Lives Lyrics
Pink Floyd
Well, when we grew up and went to school,
There were certain teachers,
Who would hurt the children in any way they could,
By pouring their derision,
Upon anything we did,
Exposing every weakness,
However carefully hidden by the kids.
But in (but in) the town it was well known,
When they got home at night,
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them,
Within inches of their lives.
