About It Would Be So Nice

"It Would Be So Nice" is a 1968 song by the rock band Pink Floyd, written by the keyboard player/singer Richard Wright. It was the fourth single released by the group. The song was left out of the 1971 collection Relics and, prior to the release of The Early Singles in 1992 with the box set Shine On, it was only available on the compilation The Best of the Pink Floyd and the famous bootleg Dark Side of the Moo. Its B-side, "Julia Dream", was written by the bass guitarist Roger Waters (who was gradually transitioning into his eventual role as the predominant songwriter and vocalist) and was also re-released on The Early Singles. Despite appearing on the picture sleeve produced in Sweden, Syd Barrett does not feature on either side of the single.

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet, sometime

Everybody wakes, and in the morning
Hot tea and can't stop yawning
Pass the butter please
Have you ever read the daily standard?
Reading all about the plane that's landed
Upside down?

And no one knows what I did today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet sometime

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet sometime

Everybody cares about the weather
And everybody should know better
What a waste of time
Everybody lives beneath the ceiling
Living out a dream that sends them reeling
To a distant place

But no one knows what I did today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet sometime

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet sometime

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet sometime
