Dyolf Wrote:"Poles Apart" is more about Syd than Roger.....
"You were always the golden boy then
And that you'd never lose that light in your eyes" - I always believed that was referring to Syd.

I agree with you Dyolf, he does seem like he is referring to Syd in that line. I think there are snides at Roger in the song(s) as well. Dave probably is referring to many issues going on in his life in these songs--Syd, Rog, his wife, people in general and in some of the songs (or all) probably a mix of several issues. He's a great artist and knows how to keep the music ambiguous. The best artists seem to have a knack for this. Take Stairway to Heaven for instance. I have heard from so many people what the song supposedly means. LOL. It makes it more interesting, no?
