Apples and Oranges
Pink Floyd Lyrics

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
The woman has a pack of cigarettes with a flip-top opening in her pocket.

Feeling good at the top
She is feeling confident and happy.

Shopping in sharp shoes
She is wearing stylish shoes while shopping.

Walking in the sunshine town
She is walking in a town that is sunny.

Feeling very cool
She feels fashionable and confident.

But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
The butchers and the bakers in the supermarket have everything she needs.

Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
She is able to find everything she needs at the supermarket.

Apples and oranges
The woman is buying different types of fruit.

Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
She turns a corner neatly but then trips up sweetly, perhaps playfully.

To meet the people
She is going to meet with other people.

She's on time again
She is punctual.

And then
At this point in the story, something else happens.

I catch her by the eye
The singer makes eye contact with her.

Then I stop and have to think
The singer stops and thinks about what just happened.

What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
The singer finds their own behavior amusing and feels embarrassed.

Apples and oranges
The same phrase is repeated, perhaps representing a change or lack of change in the woman's actions.

I love, she
The artist loves her, but it is unclear if she loves him.

She loves me
The phrase is repeated, possibly indicating doubt or uncertainty.

See you
The two plan to see each other again.

Thought you might like to know
The artist is sharing a piece of information with the listener.

I'm the lorry driver man
The artist's profession is a lorry driver.

She's on the run
The woman is running from something, perhaps her problems or responsibilities.

Down by the river side
They are in a location near a river.

Feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
The two are feeding ducks when the tide is low in the afternoon.

Apples and oranges
The phrase is repeated one last time, signaling the end of the story.
