The correct translation is:
"The sun is the same in a relative way
but you're older,
shorter of breath,
and one day closer to death."

'Time' was originally released as a B-Side to 'Us And Them', which was the follow up single to Pink Floyd's Top 20 Hit, 'Money'.

The correct translation is:
"Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

The Beatles were actually not the only musicians to use 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' as a radio single. Elton John released a cover version in 1974. John Lennon provided backing vocals for the Elton John version, under the fake name of Dr. Winston O'Boogie.

"You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite

It don't have a price

and, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out,
and we went into a tailspin, and crashed into a hillside,
and the plane exploded in a giant fireball, and everybody died!
Except for me..."
