This week Jim wants us to truffle out a song that was specifically written for a movie. I featured one of the more obvious choices, ‘Saturday Night Fever’, a few years ago for a different prompt, and although there are some other classic Bee Gees songs on that soundtrack, I decided to look elsewhere.
For this occasion, therefore, I’ve gone back a few years and into a very different genre. ‘More’ was the Pink Floyd’s (or ‘the Pink Floyd’ according to the album sleeve) third studio album and consisted of the soundtrack to the eponymous film, a cheery tale of drug addiction on the island of Ibiza.
My favourite track from this album is actually ‘Green Is The Colour’ but that’s already been deployed. However, the ethereal ‘Cymbaline’ is a very close second
The path you tread is narrow, and the drop is sheer and very high
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby
Apprehension creeping like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end? Will the final couplet rhyme?
And it’s high time, Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me
A butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side
The ravens all are closing in, there’s nowhere you can hide
Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone
Selling coloured photographs to magazines back home
And it’s high time, Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me
The lines converging where you stand
They must have moved the picture plane
The leaves are heavy around your feet
You hear the thunder of the train
And suddenly it strikes you that they’re moving into range
And Doctor Strange is always changing size
And it’s high time! (High time), Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me

This is my first time listening to this Pink Floyd song, thanks for sharing it, and the video is great.
I’ve always enjoyed this track. I’m huge of Pink Floyd, but I missed the fact that this was apart of a soundtrack. I need to find the film and give it a watch.
