In The Flesh? However carefully hidden by the kids

Is this not what you expected to see? Another Brick In The Wall - Part 2 If you want to find out what's behind these cold eyes? You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise We don't need no education We don't need no thought control Lights... No dark sarcasm in the classroom Roll the sound effects... Teacher leave them kids alone Drop it on them... Drop it on them... Hey teacher, leave them kids alone

All in all it's just another brick in the wall The Thin Ice All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Hey You Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there? Hey you Is there anybody out there? Out there in the cold Is there anybody out there? Getting lonely Getting old Enter the exciting world of reading. Can you feel me It's fun. Hey you Visit your local public library, its free. Standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me Nobody Home Hey you Don't help them to bury the light I got a little black book with my poems in Don't give in without a fight I've got a bag with a toothbrush and comb in When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a Hey you bone in Out there on your own I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Sitting naked by the phone Got those swollen hands blues Would you touch me I got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from Hey you I've got electric light With your ear against the wall And I got second sight Waiting for someone to call out Got amazing powers of observation Would you touch me And that is how I know Hey you When I try to get through Would you help me to carry the stone On the telephone to you Open your heart, I'm coming home There'll be nobody home

But it was only a fantasy Got the obligatory Hendrix perm The wall was too high, as you can see And the inevitable pinhole burns No matter how he tried he could not break free All down the front of my favourite satin shirt And the worms ate into his brain I've got nicotine stains on my finger Got a silver spoon on a chain Hey you Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains Out there on the road I got wild staring eyes Always doing what you're told And I've got a strong urge to fly Can you help me But I got nowhere to fly to Hey you ...fly to Out there beyond the wall ...fly to Breaking bottles in the hall ...fly to Can you help me ...fly to Hey you ...fly to Don't tell me there's no hope at all ...fly to Together we stand, divided we fall ...fly to Ooooh Babe When I pick up the phone Is There Anybody Out There? Roger! is he your doctor? What a coincidence! There's still nobody home This place is ridiculous. I've got a pair of Gohill's boots A week in here is like playing Russian Roulette. And I got fading roots

I'm going. Well go! Go! Vera All right! I will! Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn It better not be you, it'll be the last book you took. Remember how she said that He'll break you into seven pieces - We would meet again one for each day of the week. Some sunny day

You can't go home yet Snuffy. Vera! Vera! You haven't found Buffy. What has become of you Oh I'm sorry Bird but I have to go home. Does anybody else in here But it sure was fun pretending... Feel the way I do? Pink Floyd

Bring The Boys Back Home I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now Bring the boys back home The child is grown Bring the boys back home The dream is gone Don't leave the children on their own And I have become No Comfortably numb No Bring the boys back home The Show Must Go On ring ring Wrong!

Just the basic facts Ooooh Ma Ooooh Pa Now can you show me where it hurts Will I remember the songs?

There is no pain, you are receding The show must go on A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying In The Flesh When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons So ya Now I've got that feeling once again Thought ya I can't explain, you would not understand Might like to This is not how I am Go to the show I have become comfortably numb To feel the warm thrill of confusion That space cadet glow I have become comfortably numb I got some bad news for you sunshine Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel Okay... okay... okay And they've sent us along as a surrogate band Just a little pinprick We're gonna find out where you fans really stand There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick Are there any queers in the theatre tonight Now can you stand up... stand up... stand up? Get 'em up against the wall I do believe it's working, good There's one in the spotlight That'll keep you going through the show Now he don't look right to me Come on it's time to go Get him up against the wall And that one looks Jewish There is no pain, you are receding And that one's a coon A distant ship smoke on the horizon Who let all this riffraff into the room You are only coming through in waves There's one smoking a joint Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying And another with spots When I was a child If I had my way I caught a fleeting glimpse I'd have all of ya shot Out of the corner of my eye Pink Floyd

Run Like Hell We're waiting to succeed and going to convene outside Aaaaghhh ! Brixton Town Hall where we're going to be... Are there any paranoids in the audience tonight? Is there anyone who worries about things? Waiting to cut out the deadwood Pathetic! Waiting to clean up the city This is for all the weak people in the audience.

Run... run... run... run... Stop Run... run... run... run... I wanna go home Run... run... run... run... run... run... run... run... Take off this uniform And leave the show You better run all day And I'm waiting in this cell And run all night Because I have to know... have to know... have to And keep your dirty feelings deep inside know And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight Have I been guilty all this time... time... time... time... You'd better park the car well out of sight time 'Cos if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her locks The Trial They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box Good morning Worm your honour You better run The Crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red handed showing feelings Waiting For The Worms Showing feelings of an almost human nature This will not do Pink floyd... pink floyd... hammer... hammer... Call the schoolmaster Eins zwei drei alle I always said he'd come to no good Ahhh Ooooh You cannot reach me now In the end your honour Ahhh No matter how you try If they'd let me have my way I could Goodbye cruel world it's over Have flayed him into shape Walk on by But my hands were tied The bleeding hearts and artists Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall Let him get away with murder Waiting for the worms... worms to come Let me hammer him today In perfect isolation here behind my wall Waiting for the worms... worms to come Crazy... toys in the attic I am crazy Truly gone fishing Pink Floyd

They must have taken my marbles away Thank you very much. Crazy... toys in the attic he is crazy Goodnight.

Call the wife Astronomy Domine You little shit, you're in it now I hope they throw away the key Lime and limpid green, a second scene, You should've talked to me more often A fight between the blue you once knew. Than you did, but no you had to Floating down, the sound resounds Go your own way Around the icy waters underground Have you broken any homes up lately? Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda Just five minutes Worm your honour And Titania Neptune Titan Him and me alone Stars can frighten...

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe Lime and limpid green, a second scene, Come to Mother baby A fight between the blue you once knew. Let me hold you in my arms Floating down, the sound resounds M'Lud I never wanted him to Around the icy waters underground Get in any trouble Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda Why'd he ever have to leave me And Titania Neptune Titan Worm your honour let me take him home Stars can frighten...

Crazy Blinding signs flap, flicker flicker flicker Over the rainbow I am crazy Blam pow pow Bars in the window Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there... There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in Lime and limpid green Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy The sounds surrounds the icy waters under Lime and limpid green The sound surrounds the icy The evidence before the court is waters Incontrovertible, there's no need for Underground The jury to retire In all my years of judging I have never heard before of What Do You Want From Me Someone more deserving The full penalty of the law As you look around this room tonight The way you made them suffer Settle in your seat and dim the lights Your exquisite wife and mother Do you want my blood, do you want my tears Fills me with the urge to defecate What do you want What do you want from me Go on judge. Shit on him. Should I sing until I can't sing any more Play these strings until my fingers are raw Since my friend you have revealed your You're so hard to please Deepest fear What do you want from me I sentence you to be exposed before your peers Tear down the wall Do you think that I know something you don't know What do you want from me If I don't promise you the answers would you go Outside The Wall What do you want from me Should I stand out in the rain Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you All alone or in twos I'm not the one you need The ones who really love you What do you want from me Walk up and down outside the wall Some hand in hand You can have anything you want Some gathered together in bands You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water The bleeding hearts and the artists Anything you want Make their stand And when they've given you their all You can own everything you see Some stagger and fall Sell your soul for complete control After all it's not easy Is that really what you need Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall You can lose yourself this night See inside there is nothing to hide Thank you. Pink Floyd

Turn and face the light You never talk to me (You know I can't breathe now) What do you want from me What are you thinking (We're going nowhere) What are you feeling (We're going nowhere) Why won't you talk to me Learning To Fly You never talk to me What are you thinking Into the distance, a ribbon of black Where do we go from here Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field It doesn't have to be like this Standing alone my senses reeled All we need to do is make sure we keep talking A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp? Coming Back To Life Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything Because the things you say and the things you do No navigator to guide my way home surround me Unladened, empty and turned to stone While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words A soul in tension that's learning to fly Dying to believe in what you heard Condition grounded but determined to try I was staring straight into the shining sun Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Lost in thought and lost in time While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, planted My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Outside the rain fell dark and slow Across the clouds I see my shadow fly While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistable Out of the corner of my watering eye pastime A dream unthreatened by the morning light I took a heavenly ride through our silence Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night I knew the moment had arrived For killing the past and coming back to life There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss I took a heavenly ride through our silence Can't keep my mind from the circling sky I knew the waiting had begun Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I And headed straight . . . into the shining sun

Keep Talking A Great Day For Freedom

For millions of years mankind lived just like animals On the day the wall came down Then something happened which unleashed the power They threw the locks onto the ground of our imagination And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had We learned to talk arrived

There's a silence surrounding me On the day the wall came down I can't seem to think straight The Ship of Fools had finally run aground I'll sit in the corner Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight No one can bother me I think I should speak now (Why won't you talk to me) I dreamed you had left my side I can't seem to speak now (You never talk to me) No warmth, not even pride remained My words won't come out right (What are you thinking) And even though you needed me I feel like I'm drowning (What are you feeling) It was clear that I could not do a thing for you I'm feeling weak now (Why won't you talk to me) But I can't show my weakness (You never talk to me) Now life devalues day by day I sometimes wonder (What are you thinking) As friends and neighbours turn away Where do we go from here (What are you feeling) And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone It doesn't have to be like this All we need to do is make sure we keep talking Now frontiers shift like desert sands While nations wash their bloodied hands Why won't you talk to me (I feel like I'm drowning) Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey Pink Floyd

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind I woke to the sound of drums us The music played, the morning sun streamed in To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side I turned and I looked at you Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again And all but the bitter residue slipped away . . . slipped Dragged by the force of some inner tide away At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Sorrow Encumbered forever by desire and ambition The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land There's a hunger still unsatisfied Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky: Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers, Though down this road we've been so many times But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking The grass was greener The light was brighter He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise The taste was sweeter In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise The nights of wonder He's chained forever to a world that 's departed With friends surrounded It's not enough, it's not enough The dawn mist glowing The water flowing His blood has frozen & curdled with fright The endless river His knees have trembled & given way in the night Forever and ever His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered Breathe One world, one soul Time pass, the river roll Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication Leave but don't leave me And silent replies that swirl invitation Look around and chose your own ground Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea For long you live and high you fly A grim intimation of what is to be And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see There's an unceasing wind that blows through this Is all your life will ever be night And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight Run, rabbit run And silence that speaks so much louder than words, Dig that hole, forget the sun, Of promises broken And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to start another one For long you live and high you fly High Hopes But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we You race toward an early grave. were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary Time The ringing of the division bell had begun Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Do they still meet there by the Cut Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town There was a ragged band that followed in our Waiting for someone or something to show you the footsteps way Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the ground the rain To a life consumed by slow decay You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today The grass was greener And then one day you find ten years have got behind The light was brighter you With friends surrounded No one told you when to run, you missed the starting The nights of wonder gun Pink Floyd

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but The General sat, and the lines on the map moved from it's sinking side to side And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're Black and blue older And who knows which is which and who is who Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Up and down And in the end it's only round and round and round Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Haven't you heard it's a battle of words Plans that either come to naught or half a page of the poster bearer cried scribbled lines Listen son, said the man with the gun Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way There's room for you inside The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Down and out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With, without Breathe - Reprise And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about Out of the way, it's a busy day Home, home again And I've got things on my mind I like to be here when I can For want of the price of tea and a slice When I come home cold and tired The old man died. It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Brain Damage Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells. The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Money Got to keep the loonies on the path

Money, get away The lunatic is in the hall Get a good job with more pay and your O.K. The lunatics are in my hall Money it's a gas The paper holds their folded faces to the floor Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash And every day the paper boy brings more New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill Money get back And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack. Money it's a hit The lunatic is in my head Don't give me that do goody good bullshit The lunatic is in my head I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling section You raise the blade, you make the change And I think I need a Lear jet You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

Money it's a crime You lock the door And throw away the key Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie There's someone in my head but it's not me Money so they say Is the root of all evil today And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're You shout and no one seems to hear giving none away. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Us And Them Eclipse Us and them And after all we're only ordinary men All that you touch Me, and you And all that you see God only knows it's not what we would choose to do All that you taste All that you feel Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died All that you love All that you hate Pink Floyd

All you distrust All that you save Now frontiers shift like desert sands All that you give While nations wash their bloodied hands All that you deal Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey All that you buy beg, borrow or steal I woke to the sound of drums All you create The music played, the morning sun streamed in All you destroy I turned and I looked at you All that you do And all but the bitter residue slipped away . . . slipped All that you say All that you eat away And everyone you meet All that you slight And everyone you fight What Do You Want From Me All that is now All that is gone As you look around this room tonight All that's to come Settle in your seat and dim the lights and everything under the sun is in tune Do you want my blood, do you want my tears but the sun is eclipsed by the moon What do you want What do you want from me Wish You Were Here Should I sing until I can't sing any more Play these strings until my fingers are raw You're so hard to please So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, What do you want from me blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? Do you think that I know something you don't know A smile from a veil What do you want from me Do you think you can tell? If I don't promise you the answers would you go What do you want from me Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Should I stand out in the rain Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze? Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you Cold comfort for change? I'm not the one you need And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a What do you want from me lead role in a cage? You can have anything you want How I wish, how I wish you were here You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year Anything you want after year Running over the same old ground, what have we You can own everything you see found? Sell your soul for complete control The same old fears Is that really what you need Wish you were here You can lose yourself this night See inside there is nothing to hide A Great Day For Freedom Turn and face the light

On the day the wall came down They threw the locks onto the ground Wearing The Inside Out And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived From morning to night I stayed out of sight Didn't recognise I'd become On the day the wall came down No more than alive I'd barely survive The Ship of Fools had finally run aground In a word . . . overrun Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight Won't hear a sound (He's curled into the corner) I dreamed you had left my side From my mouth (But still the screen is flickering) No warmth, not even pride remained I've spent too long (With an endless stream of garbage And even though you needed me to) It was clear that I could not do a thing for you On the inside out ( ... curse the place) My skin is cold (In a sea of random images) Now life devalues day by day To the human touch (The self-destructing animal) As friends and neighbours turn away This bleeding heart's (Waiting for the waves to break) And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be Not beating much undone Pink Floyd

I murmured a vow of silence and now She will take it back, she will take it back some day I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by light I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile Lost For Words

I'm creeping back to life I was spending my time in the doldrums My nervous system all awry I was caught in a cauldron of hate I'm wearing the inside out I felt persecuted and paralysed I thought that everything else would just wait Look at him now He's paler somehow While you are wasting your time on your enemies But he's coming round Engulfed in a fever of spite He's starting to choke Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades It's been so long since he spoke Like shadows into the night Well he can have the words right from my mouth To martyr yourself to caution And with these words I can see Is not going to help at all Clear through the clouds that covered me Because there'll be no safety in numbers Just give it time then speak my name When the Right One walks out of the door Now we can hear ourselves again Can you see your days blighted by darkness? I'm holding out (He's standing on the threshold) Is it true you beat your fists on the floor? For the day (Caught in fiery anger) Stuck in a world of isolation When all the clouds (And hurled into the furnace he'll) While the ivy grows over the door Have blown away ( . . . curse the place I'm with you now (He's torn in all directions) So I open my door to my enemies Can speak your name (And still the screen is flickering And I ask could we wipe the slate clean Now we can hear (Waiting for the flames to break) But they tell me to please go fuck myself Ourselves again You know you just can't win

Take It Back Yet Another Movie

Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze One sound, one single sound I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the One kiss, one single kiss sea A face outside the window pane I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and However did it come to this? desire We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire A man who ran, a child who cried A girl who heard, a voice that lied She could take it back, she might take it back some The sun that burned a fiery red day The vision of an empty bed

So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot The use of force, he was so tough keep She'll soon submit, she's had enough Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep The march of fate, the broken will And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I Someone is lying very still can take And I push her to the limit to see if she will break He has laughed and he has cried He has fought and he has died She might take it back, she could take it back some He's just the same as all the rest day He's not the worst, he's not the best

Now I have seen the warnings screaming from all And still this ceaseless murmuring sides The babbling that I brook It's easy to ignore them and G-d knows I've tried The seas of faces, eyes upraised All of this temptation, it turned my faith to lies The empty screen, the vacant look Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide A man in black on a snow white horse, She can take it back, she will take it back some day A pointless life has run its course, The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run She can take it back, she will take it back some day As he fades into the setting sun Pink Floyd

The Dogs of War As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite Dogs of war and men of hate In a silent accord With no cause, we don't discriminate Using words you will find are strange Discovery is to be disowned And mesmerized as they light the flame Our currency is flesh and bone Feel the new wind of change Hell opened up and put on sale On the wings of the night Gather 'round and haggle For hard cash, we will lie and deceive No more turning away Even our masters don't know the webs we weave From the weak and the weary No more turning away One world, it's a battleground From the coldness inside One world, and we will smash it down Just a world that we all must share One world ... One world It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be Invisible transfers, long distance calls, No more turning away? Hollow laughter in marble halls Steps have been taken, a silent uproar Has unleashed the dogs of war One of These Days You can't stop what has begun Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces We all have a dark side, to say the least And dealing in death is the nature of the beast One Slip One world, it's a battleground One world, and they smash it down A restless eye across a weary room One world ... One world A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without The dogs of war don't negotiate end The dogs of war won't capitulate, No hint, no word her honour to defend They will take and you will give, And you must die so that they may live I will, I will she sighed to my request You can knock at any door, And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was But wherever you go, you know they've been there put to the test before Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire Well winners can lose and things can get strained I lead the way to the funeral pyre But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain. And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence One world, it's a battleground One world, are we going to smash it down? One slip, and down the hole we fall One world ... One world It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life On the Turning Away A small regret, you won't forget, There'll be no sleep in here tonight On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? And the words they say Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a Which we won't understand glove? "Don't accept that what's happening The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were Is just a case of others' suffering sown Or you'll find that you're joining in The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain The turning away" alone

It's a sin that somehow One slip, and down the hole we fall Light is changing to shadow It seems to take no time at all And casting it's shroud A momentary lapse of reason Over all we have known That binds a life for life Unaware how the ranks have grown A small regret, you will never forget, Driven on by a heart of stone There'll be no sleep in here tonight We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night Pink Floyd A New Machine - Part 1 You pick the place and I'll choose the time I have always been here And I'll climb I have always looked out from behind the eyes That hill in my own way. It feels like more than a lifetime Just wait a while for the right day. Feels like more than a lifetime And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds I look down, in the sound of the things you said today. Sometimes I get tired of the waiting Sometimes I get tired of being in here Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd Is this the way it has always been? Smiling. Could it ever have been different? Merciless the magistrate turns 'round Frowning. Do you ever get tired of the waiting? Do you ever get tired of being in there? And who's the fool who wears the crown? Don't worry, nobody lives forever, And go down, Nobody lives forever in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in the crowd A New Machine - Part 2 You look down, in the sound of the faces in the crowd.

With bright knives He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. Deaf dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending He converteth me to lamb cutlets, That everyone's expendable and no one has a real For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger. friend When cometh the day we lowly ones, And it seems to you the thing to do Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Would be to isolate the winner Master the art of karate, And everything's done under the sun Lo, we shall rise up, And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water. Who was born in a house full of pain Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream. Who was trained not to spit in the fan Wave upon wave of demented avengers Who was told what to do by the man March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Have you heard the news? Who was given a pat on the back The dogs are dead! Who was breaking away from the pack You better stay home Who was only a stranger at home And do as you're told. Who was ground down in the end Get out of the road if you want to grow old. Who was found dead by the phone Who was dragged down by the stone

Dogs Pigs On The Wing (Part 1) You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes If you didn't care what happened to me and when you're on the street And I didn't care for you You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat We would zig zag our way through the with your eyes closed boredom and pain And then moving in silently, down wind and out Occasionally glancing up through the rain of sight Wondering which of the buggers to blame You gotta strike when the moment is right And watching for pigs on the wing without thinking

And after a while, you can work on points for style Pink Floyd

Pigs (Three different ones) Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are Oh by the way, which one's Pink? And when your hand is on your heart You're nearly a good laugh And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, Almost a joker We call it Riding the Gravy Train With your head down in the pig bin We're just knocked out Saying "Keep on digging" We heard about the sell out Pig stain on your fat chin You gotta get an album out, What do you hope to find? You owe it to the people When you're down in the pig mine We're so happy we can hardly count You're nearly a laugh Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart? You're nearly a laugh It's a helluva start But you're really a cry It could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, You radiate cold shafts of broken glass We call it Riding the Gravy Train You're nearly a good laugh Almost worth a quick grin You like the feel of steel Burning Bridges You're hot stuff with a hat pin And good fun with a hand gun Bridges burning gladly, You're nearly a laugh Merging with the shadows, You're nearly a laugh Flickering between the lines. But you're really a cry Stolen moments floating softly on the air, Born on wings of fire and climbing higher. Hey you, Whitehouse Ancient bonds are breaking, ha ha charade you are Moving on and changing sides. You house proud town mouse Dreaming of a new day, ha ha charade you are Cast aside the other way. You're tying to keep our feelings off the street Magic visions stirring, You're nearly a real treat Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes. All tight lips and cold feet The door stands ajar, And do you feel abused? The wall that once were high. You gotta stem the evil tide Beyond the gilded cage, And keep it all on the inside Beyond the reach of ties. Mary you're nearly a treat The moment is at hand. Mary you're nearly a treat She breaks the golden band. But you're really a cry

Pigs On The Wing (Part 2) The Gold It's In The...

Come on, my friends, You know that I care what happens to you Let's make for the hills. And I know that you care for me They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills. So I don't feel alone You can get your hands on whatever we find, Or the weight of the stone Because I'm only coming along for the ride. Now that I've found somewhere safe Well, you go your way, To bury my bone I'll go mine. And any fool knows a dog needs a home I don't care if we get there on time. A shelter from pigs on the wing Everybody's searching for something, they say. I'll get my kicks on the way. Over mountains, across seas, Have A Cigar Who knows what will be waiting for me? I could sail forever to strange sounding names. Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar You're gonna go Faces of people and places don't change. far, fly high All I have to do is just close my eyes You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you To see the seagulls wheeling on those far distant try; skies. they're gonna love you All I want to tell you, Pink Floyd

All I want to say is count me in on the journey. Some men die beneath one infinite sky. Don't expect me to stay. There'll be war, there'll be peace. But everything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust; Wots...Uh The Deal All the proud men turned to dust. And so all things, time will mend. Heaven sent the promised land So this song will end. Looks alright from where I stand Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Stay Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line because it's time Stay and help me to end the day. To let me in from the cold And of you don't mind, Turn my lead into gold We'll break a bottle of wine. Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul Stick around and maybe we'll put one down, And I think I'm growing old Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes. Midnight blue burning gold. Flash the readies wots...uh the deal A yellow moon is growing cold. Got to make it to the next meal Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel. I rise, looking through my morning eyes, Mile after mile after Surprised to find you by my side. Stone after stone Rack my brain to try to remember your name You turn to speak but you're alone To find the words to tell you goodbye. A million miles from home you're on your own Morning dues. So let me in from the cold Newborn day. Turn my lead into gold Midnight blue turn to gray. Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul Midnight blue burning gold. And I think I'm growing old A yellow moon is growing cold.

Fly bright by candlelight With her by my side San Tropez And if she prefers we will never stir again Someone sent the promised land As I reach for a peach And I grabbed it with both hands Slide a line down behind a sofa in San Tropez Now I'm the man on the inside looking out Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand Hear me shout 'come on in, what's the news, where Riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan you been?' Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness Cause there's no wind left in my soul Scratched by the sand that fell from my love And I've grown old Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone, I'll come home

Childhood's End Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane You shout in your sleep. Born in a home with no silver spoon Perhaps the price is just too steep. I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test? Sooner than wait for a break in the weather You awake with a start to just the beating of your I'll gather my far flung thoughts together heart. Speeding away on a wind to a new day Just one man beneath the sky, If you're alone, I'll come home Just two ears, just two eyes. And I'll pause for a while by a country stile You set sail across the sea of long past thoughts and And listen to the things they say memories. Digging for gold in a hole in my hand Childhood's end, Open the book, take a look at the way things stand Your fantasies merge with harsh realities. And you're leading me down to the place by the sea And then as the sail is hoist, I hear your soft voice calling to me You find your eyes are growing moist. Making a date for later by phone All the fears never voiced say you have to make your And if you're alone, I'll come home final choice.

Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why? Some are born; Pink Floyd

Seamus Is falling in a golden dawn And deep beneath the ground the early morning I was in the kitchen sounds Seamus, that's the dog, was outside And I go down Well I was in the kitchen Sleeping time when I lie with my love by my side Seamus, my old hound, was outside And she's breathing low Well you know the sun was sinking slowly And I rise like a bird And my old hound-dog just sat right down and cried In the haze when the first rays touch the sky And the night winds die

Echoes Remember A Day Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves Remember a day before today In labyrinths of coral caves A day when you were young The echo of a distant time Free to play along with time Comes willowing across the sand Evening never comes And everything is green and submarine Sing a song that can't be sung And no-one showed us to the land Without the morning's kiss And no-one knows the where or whys Dream you shall be it if you wish But something stirs and something tries Look for your king And starts to climb towards the light Why can't we play today? Strangers passing in the street Why can't we stay that way? By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me Climb your favourite apple tree And do I take you by the hand Try to catch the sun And lead you through the land Hide from your little brother's gun And help me understand the best I can Dream yourself away

And no-one calls us to move on Why can't we reach the sun? And no-one forces down our eyes Why can't we blow the years away? And no-one speaks and no-one tries Blow away And no-one flies around the sun Blow away Remember Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Remember Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings Paintbox A million bright ambassadors of morning Last night I had too much to drink And no-one sings me lullabies Sitting in a club with so many fools And no-one makes me close my eyes Playing to rules And so I throw the windows wide Trying to impress, but feeling rather empty And call to you across the sky I had another drink Drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, ahhhhhh!

A Pillow Of Winds What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends A cloud of eiderdown draws around me Playing the game Softening the sound But in the scene I should have been Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side Far away And she's breathing low, and the candle dies Away, away, away, away, away Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene When night comes down you lock the door before The book falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by I open the door to an empty room The seasons change the wind is warm Then I forget Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan Behold a dream, the dream is gone The telephone rings and someone speaks Green fields, a cold rain She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do Pink Floyd

I can't think what to say She sees through anyway Away, away, away, away, away The Nile Song

Out of the front door I go I was standing by the Nile Traffic's moving rather slow When I saw the lady smile Arriving late I would take her for a while There she waits looking very angry For a while As cross as she can be Be, a be, a be, a be, a be Light tears wept like a child Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene How her golden hair was blowing wild before Then she spread her wings to fly For to fly I open the door to an empty room Then I forget Soaring high above the breezes Going always where she pleases She will make it to the island Julia Dream in the sun

Sunlight bright upon my pillow, I will follow in her shadow Lighter than an eiderdown. As I watch her from my window Will she let the weeping willow One day I will catch her eye Wind his branches 'round? She is calling from the deep Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my Summoning my soul to endless sleep dreams She is bound to drag me down Drag me down Every night I turn the light out, Waiting for the velvet bride. Will the scaly armadillo Biding My Time Find me where I'm hiding? Wasting my time, Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my Resting my mind dreams And I'll never pine For the sad days and the bad days Will the misty master break me? When we was workin' from nine to five. Will the key unlock my mind? Will the following footsteps catch me? And if you don't mind Am I really dying? I'll spend my time Here by the fire side Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my In the warm light of the love in her her eyes. dreams Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my And if you don't mind dreams I'll spend my time Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my Here by the fire side dreams In the warm light of the love in her her eyes. Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams Bike

Cirrus Minor I've got a bike, You can ride it if you like In a churchyard by a river It's got a basket, a bell that rings Lazing in the haze of midday And things to make it look good Laughing in the grasses and the graze I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it Yellow bird you are not lone in singing and in flying on In laughing and in leaving. You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things Willow weeping in the water Waving to the river daughters I've got a cloak it's a bit of a joke Swaying in the ripples and the reeds There's a tear up the front it's red and black On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun I've had it for months. A thousand miles of moonlight later Pink Floyd

If you think it could look good then I guess it should Not a single word was said, the night still hid our fears Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world need I'll give you anything, everything if you want things I felt the cold far too soon in a room of ninety-five My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house Tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you I don't know why I call him Gerald Have you time before you leave to greet another man He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse Just you let me know how do you feel How do you feel You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. Goodbye to you ... Charlotte Pringle's due I've got a clan of gingerbread men I've had enough for one day Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish Fat Old Sun You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evening birds are calling I know a room full of musical tunes Summer Sunday and a year Some rhyme, some ching, Most of them are clockwork The sound of music in my ears Let's go into the other room and make them work Distant bells, new mown grass smells so sweet By the river holding hands Roll me up and lay me down If And if you see, don't make a sound If I were a swan I'd be gone Pick your feet up off the ground If I were a train I'd be late And if you hear as the warm night falls And if I were a good man A silver sound from a tongue so strange I'd talk with you more often than I do Sing to me, sing to me...

If I were asleep I could dream When that fat old sun in the sky is falling If I were afraid I could hide Summer evening birds are calling If I go insane Children's laughter in my ears Please don't put your wires in my brain The last sunlight disappears

If I were the moon I'd be cool And if you see, don't make a sound If I were a rule I would bend Pick your feet up off the ground If I were a good man And if you hear as the warm night falls I'd understand the spaces between friends A silver sound from a tongue so strange Sing to me, sing to me... If I were alone I would cry And if I were with you I'd be home and dry And if I go insane Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast Will you still let me join in with the game Rise and Shine If I were a swan I'd be gone If I were a train I'd be late again Oh... uh... my flakes... And if I were a good man Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, coffee I'd talk with you more often than I do Marmalade... I like marmalade... Porridge... any cereal, I like all cereals... oh god...

Summer '68 Sunny Side Up

Would you like to say something before you leave Breakfast in Los Angeles, macrobiotic stuff ... Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel We say goodbye before we've said hello Morning Glory I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud From your bed I came today and lost a bloody year And I would like to know how do you feel How do you feel Pink Floyd

Grantchester Meadows Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay Icy wind of night be gone You hear the night birds calling you This is not your domain But you can't catch the words they say In the sky a bird was heard to cry Close your aching eyes beyond your name Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds Throw your thoughts back many years Belied a deathly silence To the time when there was life in every morning That lay all around Perhaps a day will come When the nights will be as close as that morning Hear the lark and harken To the barking of the dog fox And if you want to stay for a little bit Gone to ground Rest your aching limbs for a little bit See the splashing Before you the night is beckoning Of the kingfisher flashing to the water And you know you can't delay And a river of green is sliding You hear the night birds calling you Unseen beneath the trees But you can't catch the words they say Laughing as it passes Close your aching eyes beyond your name Through the endless summer Making for the sea Green is the Colour In the lazy water meadow I lay me down Heavy hung the canopy of blue All around me golden sunflakes Shade my eyes and I can see you Settle on the ground White is the light that shines through the dress that you Basking in the sunshine wore Of a by-gone afternoon She lay in the shadow of the wave Bringing sounds of yesterday Hazy were the visions of her playing Into this city room Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine beat her blind every time Hear the lark and harken Green is the colour of her kind To the barking of the dog fox Quickness of the eye deceives the mind Gone to ground Many is the bond between the hopeful and the See the splashing damned (?marian) Of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding Unseen beneath the trees Cymbaline Laughing as it passes Through the endless summer The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and Making for the sea very high The ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by The Narrow Way - Parts 1, 2 & 3 Apprehension creeping like a choo-train up your spine Will the tightrope reach the end; will the final cuplet Following the path rhyme As it leads towards the darkness in the north And it's high time Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy Cymbaline They've seen that hope before It's high time Cymbaline And if you want to stay for a little bit Please wake me Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you the night is beckoning Butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side And you know you can't delay The ravens all are closing in there's no where you can You hear the night birds calling you hide But you can't catch the words they say Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone Close your aching eyes beyond your name Selling colored photographs to magazines back home And it's high time Mist is swelling, creatures crawling, Cymbaline Hear the roar get louder in your ears It's high time You know the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all your fears And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Pink Floyd

Doctor Doctor underfed Doctor Doctor gold is lead Doctor Doctor Jesus bled Doctor Doctor pain is red Chapter 24 Doctor Doctor dark doom Gruel ghoul greasy spoon All movement is accomplished in six stages, Used spoon June gloom and the seventh brings return The seven is the number of the young light Music seems to help the pain It forms when darkness is increased by one Seems to motivate the brain Change return success Doctor kindly tell your wife Going and coming without error That I'm alive Action brings good fortune Flowers thrive Sunset Realise Realise The time is with the month of winter solstice Realise When the change is due to come Thunder in the Earth, the course of Heaven Things cannot be destroyed once and for all Scarecrow Change return success Going and coming without error The black and green scarecrowas everyone knows Action brings good fortune Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere Sunset He didn't care....

His head did no thinking his arms didn't move All movement is accomplished in six stages Except when the wind cut up rough And the seventh brings return And mice ran around on the ground The seven is the number of the young light He stood in a field where barley grows It forms when darkness is increased by one The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me But now he's resigned to his fate Change return success 'Cause life's not unkind Going and coming without error He doesn't mind Action brings good fortune He stood in a field where barley grows. Sunset Sunrise The Gnome Shine on You Crazy Diamond 1-5 I want to tell you a story 'Bout a little Man if I can Remember when you were young, you shone like the A gnome named Grimble Gromble sun. And little gnomes stay in their homes Shine on you crazy diamond. Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. He wore a scarlet tunic Shine on you crazy diamond. A blue-green hood, it looked quite good You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and He had a big adventure stardom, blown on the steel breeze. Amidst the grass, fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time... Come on you target for faraway laughter, Pink Floyd come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
