Careful With That Axe, Eugene :) I love this title :)

Down, down. Down, down
The star is screaming
Beneath the lies
Lie, lie
Tschay, tschay, tschay
Careful
Careful
Careful with that axe, Eugene
The stars are screaming loud

Syd was a Floyd Diamond. The best albums were made with him, but he went into the stars too early.
They never abounded him...they stayed with him all the time.

EDIT: I Googled a bit now...and I didn't even know that Syd had a solo career after Floyd :)

What is your favourite diamond-themed song?

My vote goes to Judas Priest's live version of Joan Baez' Diamonds And Rust from their live album Unleashed In The East.

Rihanna/Sia "Diamonds (Shine bright like a diamond)", though, knowing the taste of the Watercooler crowd, I wouldn't be surprised to hear a mentioning of Marilyn Monroe "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" :D

I remember The Madcap Laughs or something but more interesting is the story that he suddenly showed up during the Wish You Were Here recordings. Don't know the rest of the story and how much of it is myth though.

Obvious, coming from me... But Pink Floyd is the true answer.

Grateful Dead's "Dark Star" --
...Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
