3. Pigs (Three different ones)
###PIGS ON THE WING(part-1)###
If you didn´t care what happened to me,
And I didn´t care for you
We would zig-zag our way
through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.
#########DOGS##################
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you´re on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You´ll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it´s going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you´ll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you lose control, you´ll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it´s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I´m a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I´m just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
If I don´t stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone´s expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything´s done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone´s a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.
#####PIGS(THREE DIFFERENT ONES)##Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You´re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ´keep on digging´
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you´re down in the pig mine
You´re nearly a laugh
You´re nearly a laugh
But you´re really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You´re nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You´re hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You´re nearly a laugh
You´re nearly a laugh
But you´re really a cry.
Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You´re trying to keep your feelings off the street
You´re nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you´re nearly a treat
Mary you´re nearly a treat
But you´re really a cry.
#########SHEEP################
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I´ve looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.
What do you get for pretending the danger´s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we´ll make the bugger´s eyes water.
Blasting and bubbling I fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you´re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.
###PIGS ON THE WING(PART-2)####
You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me too
So I don´t feel alone
Of the weight of the stone
Now that I´ve found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
And shelter from pigs on the wing ###############################

4. Time/Breathe Reprise 9. Brain Damage
5. The Great Gig in the Sky 10. Eclipse
########SPEAK TO ME#########
´I´ve been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands...´
´I´ve always been mad, I know I´ve been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you´re mad, even
if you´re not mad...´
#####BREATHE########
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don´t be afraid to care.
Leave but don´t leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you´ll give and tears you´ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don´t sit down it´s time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
######ON THE RUN#############[female announcer, announcing flights at airport]
´Live for today, gone tomorrow, that´s me, HaHaHaaaaaa!´
#####TIME/ breath reprise#####
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it´s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you´re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I´d something more to say.
####BREATHE reprise############
Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It´s good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
####THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY############################´And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don´t mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There´s no reason for it, you´ve gotta go sometime.´
´I never said I was frightened of dying.´
#######$$$$MONEY$$$$###########Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you´re okay.
Money, it´s a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I´ll buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
I´m all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it´s a hit.
Don´t give me that do goody good bullshit.
I´m in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Money, it´s a crime.
Share it fairly but don´t take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it´s no surprise that they´re
giving none away.
´HuHuh! I was in the right!´
´Yes, absolutely in the right!´
´I certainly was in the right!´
´You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!´
´Yeah!´
´Why does anyone do anything?´
´I don´t know, I was really drunk at the time!´
´I was just telling him, he couldn´t get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn´t coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn´t coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out´
#######US AND THEM###########
And after all we´re only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it´s noz what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it´s only round and round.
Haven´t you heard it´s a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There´s room for you inside.
´I mean, they´re not gunna kill ya, so if you give ´em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won´t do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, ´cos I would´ve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
don´t cost nothing do they, eh?´
Down and out
It can´t be helped but there´s a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who´ll deny it´s what the fighting´s all about?
Out of the way, it´s a busy day
I´ve got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.
####ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE?######

#######BRAIN DAMAGE##########
The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I´ll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ´till I´m sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There´s someone in my head but it´s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you´re in starts playing different tunes
I´ll see you on the dark side of the moon.
´I can´t think of anything to say except...´
´I think it´s marvellous! HaHaHa!´
#########ECLIPSE#############
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that´s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
´There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it´s all dark.´

####CLUSTER ONE#####
(Music)
###WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?###
As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can´t sing any more
Play these strings till my fingers are raw
You´re so hard to please
What do you want from me
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
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I´m not the one you need
What do you want from me
You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want
You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need
You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light
What do you want from me
######POLES APART########
Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you
And did you see it was all going to be so right for me
Why did we tell you then
You were always the golden boy then
And that you´d never lose the light in your eyes
Hey you... did you ever realize what you´d become
And did you see that it wasn´t only me you were running from
Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes
The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me
And did you know...
I never thought that you´d lose the light in your eyes
########MAROONED#########
(Sound n music)
##A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM####
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there´s a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their blooded hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away... slipped away
###WEARING THE INSIDE OUT####
From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn´t recognise I´d become
No more than alive I´d barely survive
In a word... overrun
Won´t hear a sound (He´s curled into the corner)
From my mouth (But still the screen is flickering)
I´ve spent too long (With and endless stream of garbage to)
On the inside out (... curse the place)
My skin is cold (In a sea of random images)
To the human touch (The self-destructing animal)
This bleeding heart´s (Waiting for the waves to break)
Not beating much
I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don´t even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile
I´m creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I´m wearing the inside out
Look at him now
He´s paler somehow
But he´s coming around
He´s starting to choke
It´s been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth
And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again
I´m holding out (He´s standing on the threshold)
For the day (Caught in fiery anger)
When all the clouds (And hurled into the furnace he´ll)
Have blown away (... curse the place)
I´m with you now (He´s torn in all directions)
Can speak your name (And still the screen is flickering)
Now we can hear (Waiting for the flames to break)
Ourselves again
######TAKE IT BACK#####
Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness, the earth was on fire
She could take it back,s he might take it back some day
So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep
Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep
And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit to see if she will break
She might take it back, she could take it back some day
Now I have seen the warnings, screaming from all sides
It´s eay to ignore them and G-d knows I´ve tried
All of this temptation, it turned my faith to lies
Until I couldn´t see the danger or hear the rising tide
She can take it back, she will take it back some day
She can take it back, she will take it back some day
She will take it back, she will take it back some day
Coming Back to Life
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else´s words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistable pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight... into the shining son
#####KEEP TALKING########
For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk
There´s a silence surrounding me
I can´t seem to think straight
I´ll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now (Why won´t you talk to me)
I can´t seem to speak now (You never talk to me)
My words won´t come out right (What are you thinking)
I feel like I´m drowning (What are you feeling)
I´m feeling weak now (Why won´t you talk to me)
But I can´t show my weakness (You never talk to me)
I sometimes wonder (What are you thinking)
Where do we go from here (What are you feeling)
It doesn´t have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
Why won´t you alk to me (I feel like I´m drowning)
You never talk to me (You know I can´t breathe now)
What are you thinking (We´re going nowhere)
What are you feeling (We´re going nowhere)
Why won´t you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here
It doesn´t have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
######LOST FOR WORDS####
I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that everythign else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision, reality fades
Like shadows into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there´ll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over your door
So I opened my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can´t win
#####HIGH HOPES#########
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut?
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There´s a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we´ve been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever

###THE POST WAR DREAM#########
[Car sound, switching on of car radio]
´...announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter at Peterborough in Cambridgeshire...´
[static of retuning]
´...three high court judges have cleared the way...´
[static]
´...It was announced today, that the replacement for the Atlantic
Conveyor the container ship lost in the Falklands conflict would be
built in Japan, a spokesman for...´
[static]
´...moving in. They say the third world countries, like Bolivia, which
produce the drug are suffering from rising violence...´
Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified
Is it for this that Daddy died?
Was it for you? Was it me?
Did I watch too much T.V.?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
If it wasn´t for the nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the clyde.
And it can´t be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide.
What have we done, Maggie what have we done?
What have we done to England?
Should we shout, should we scream
´What happened to the post war dream?´
Oh Maggie, Maggie what have we done?
####YOUR POSSIBLE PASTS######
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
A warning to anyone still in command
[cattle truck noises]
´Ranks! Fire!´
Of their possible future, to take care.
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we shoud be closer?
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
He said, ´I was just a child then, now I´m only a man.´
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay.
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
#####ONE OF THE FEW#######
When you´re one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?
Teach.
Make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two.
Make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to.
Make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die.
#####THE HERO´S RETURN######
Jesus, Jesus, what´s it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape.
When I was their age all the lights went out.
There was no time to whine or mope about.
And even now part of me flies over
Dresden at angels one five.
Though they´ll never fathom it behind my
Sarcasm desperate memories lie.
Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good.
´Cause that´s the only time that I can really speak to you.
And there is something that I´ve locked away
A memory that is too painful
To withstand the light of day.
When we came back from the war the banners and
Flags hung on everyone´s door.
We danced and we sang in the street and
The church bells rang.
But burning in my heart
My memory smoulders on
Of the gunners dying words on the intercom.
####THE GUNNERS DREAM####
Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreigh field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Goodbye Max.
Goodbye Ma.
After the serng slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
´Oi! A real one ...´
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And whats more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don´t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.
Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What´s done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream.
Take heed.
####PARANOID EYES########
Button your lip. Don´t let the shield slip.
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask.
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide, hide, hide,
´I´ll tell you what, I´ll give you three blacks, and play you for five ...´
´Ta! You was unlucky there son´
´Time gentleman!´
Behind paranoid eyes.
You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar.
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar,
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You hide, hide, hide,
Behind petrified eyes.
You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory.
Now you´re lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high.
And you hide, hide, hide,
Behind brown and mild eyes.
´Oi!´
###GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY DESERT######
´Oi...Get your filthy hands off my desert!´
´What ´e say?´
Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
Begin took Beirut.
Galtieri took the Union Jack.
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
Took a cruiser with all hands.
Apparently, to make him give it back.
##THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME###
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they´re still real.
It´s the only connection they feel.
´Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig,
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisly,
´Hello Maggie!´
Mr. Brezhnev and party.
´Who´s the bald chap?´
The ghost of McCarthy,
The memories of Nixon.
´Goodbye!´
And now, adding color, a group of anonymous latin-
American Meat packing glitterati.
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
They can polish their medals and sharpen their
Smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you´re dead.
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favorite toys
They´ll be good girls and boys
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
Wasters of life and limb.
Is everyone in?
Are you having a nice time?
Now the final solution can be applied.
###SOUTHHAMPTON DUCK#######
They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were to many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with the hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes.
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again.
And still the dark stain spreads between
His shoulder blades.
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
And when the fight was over
We spent what they had made.
But in the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut.
####THE FINAL CUT#########
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I´m spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I´m in I´ll tell you what´s behind the wall.
There´s a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you´re sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
´Hello? Listen, I think I´ve got it. Okay, listen its a HaHa!´
########NOT NOW JOHN#######
Fuck all that we´ve got to get on with these
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese.
There´s too many home fires burning
And not enough trees.
So fuck all that
We´ve go to get on with these.
Can´t stop
Lose job
Mind gone
Silicon
What bomb
Get away
Pay day
Make hay
Break down
Need fix
Big six
Clickity click
Hold on
Oh no
Brrrrrrrrrring bingo!
Make ´em laugh.
Make ´em cry.
Make ´em dance in the aisles.
Make ´em pay.
Make ´em stay.
Make´em feel ok.
Not nah John
We´ve got to get on with the film show.
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow.
Who cares what it´s about
As long as the kids go?
Not now John
Got to get on with the show.
Hang on John we´ve got to get on with this.
I don´t know what it is
But it fits on here like.....
Come at the end of the shift
We´ll go and get pissed.
But now now John
I´ve got to get on with this.
Hold on John
I think there´s something good on.
I used to read books but.....
It could be the news
Or some other abuse
Or it could be reusable shows.
Fuck all that we´ve got to get on with these
Got to compete with the wily Japanese.
No need to worry about the Vietnamese.
Got to bring the Russian Bear to his knees.
Well, maybe not the Russian Bear
Maybe the Swedes.
We showed Argentina
Now let´s go and show these.
Make us feel tough
And wouldn´t Maggie be pleased?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah!
´s´cusi dove il bar´
(What?)
´se para collo pou eine toe bar
s´il vous plait ou est le bar´
(...say it in English!...)
´oi, where´s the fucking bar John?´
(Oh, now you´re talking!)´
´Oh! Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day
Down!´
´Go, Maggie!´
´Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, now!´
#####TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET###
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.
The wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it´s day again.
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run.
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slied towards the big truck
´Oh no!´
´Daddy, Daddy!´
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you´ll never hear their voices
And you´ll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
And as the windshield melts
My tears eveaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end.
´...and now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers
spreading from the east ... with an expected high of 4000 degrees
celsius...´

#####IN THE FLESH?##########
´....we came in?´
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what´s behind these cold eyes
You´ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
´Lights! Turn on the sound effects! Action!´
´Drop it, drop it on ´em! Drop it on them!!!!!´
########THE THIN ICE###########
Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But ooooh Baby
Ooooh baby blue
Oooooh babe.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don´t be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.
###ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL(Part 1)########
Daddy´s flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what´d´ja leave behind for me?!?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
´You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!´
####HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES##
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could
´OOF!´
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town, it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives.
##ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL(Part 2)###########
We don´t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it´s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you´re just another brick in the wall.
We don´t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it´s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you´re just another brick in the wall.
´Wrong, Do it again!´
´If you don´t eat yer meat, you can´t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don´t eat yer meat?´
´You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!´
#######MOTHER#######
Mother do you think they´ll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they´ll like this song?
Mother do you think they´ll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother is it just a waste of time?
Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother´s gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother´s gonna put all her fears into you.
Mother´s gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama´ll help to build the wall.
Mother do you think she´s good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she´s dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?
Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.
Mama´s gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mama´s gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you´ve been.
Mama´s gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You´ll always be baby to me.
Mother, did it need to be so high?
###GOODBYE BLUE SKY########
´Look mummy, there´s an aeroplane up in the sky´
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
´The 11:15 from Newcastle is now approaching´
´The 11:18 arrival....´
####EMPTY SPACES###########
What shall we use
To fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How can I complete the wall
######YOUNG LUST#########
I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who´s gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, baby set me free.
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
[Phone rings..Clunk of receiver being lifted]
´Hello..?´
´Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?´
[clunk! of phone being put down]
´Oh, He hung up! That´s your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?´
[Phone rings again...clunk of receiver being picked up]
´Hello?´
´This is united states calling, are we reaching...´
[interrupted by phone being put down]
´See he keeps hanging up, and it´s a man answering.´
[whirr of connection being closed]
####ONE OF MY TURNS########
´Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars?´
´This place is bigger than our apartment!´
´erm, Can I get a drink of water?´
´You want some, huh?´
´Oh wow, look at this tub? Do you wanna take baaaath?´
´What are watching?´
´Hello?´
´Are you feeling okay?...´
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You´ll find my favorite axe.
Don´t look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would´ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it´s time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
####DON´T LEAVE ME NOW########
Ooooh, babe
Don´t leave me now.
Don´t say it´s the end of the road.
Remember the flowers I sent.
I need you, babe
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooooh Babe.
Dont leave me now.
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Ooooh Babe.
How could you treat me this way?
Running away.
I need you, Babe. Why are you running away?
Oooooh Babe!
###ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
(Part 3)######
[Sound of many TV´s coming on, all on different channels]
´The Bulls are already out there´
Pink: ´Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!´
´This Roman Meal bakery thought you´d like to know.´
I don´t need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don´t think I need anything at all.
No! Don´t think I´ll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
####GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD####
Goodbye cruel world,
I´m leaving you today.
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye.
Goodbye, all you people,
There´s nothing you can say
To make me change my mind.
Goodbye.
######HEY YOU##########
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don´t give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I´m coming home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you´re told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don´t tell me there´s no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
[Click of TV being turned on]
´Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started´
´Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?´
´It´ll be a lot less safe to stay here. Your father´s gunna pick up our trail before long´
´Can Loca ride?´
´Yeah, I can ride... Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything´
´Goodbye Chenga´
´Goodbye miss ...´
´I´ll be back´
####IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?###
Is There Anybody Out There?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
######NOBODY HOME#########
´Alright, I´ll take care of them part of the time, but there´s somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington´
´Who´s that?´
´Rose Pilchitt!´
´Rose Pilchitt? Who´s that?´
[Kid screams in background. foreground: ´Shut Up!´]
´36-24-36 ... does that answer your question?´
[foreground: ´Oi! I´ve got a little black book with me poems in!´]
´Who´s she?´
´She was ´Miss Armoured Division´ in 1961 ... ´
I´ve got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I´m a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.
I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I´ve got electric light.
And I´ve got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There´ll be nobody home.
I´ve got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I´ve got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I´ve got a silver spoon on a chain.
I´ve got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.
I´ve got wild staring eyes.
And I´ve got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone
´Surprise, surprise, surprise...´
There´s still nobody home.
I´ve got a pair of Gohills boots
and I got fading roots.
´Where the hell are you?´
´Over 47 german planes were destroyed with the loss of only 15 of our own aircraft´
´Where the hell are you Simon?´
[Machine gun sound, followed by plane crashing]
########VERA#############
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else here
Feel the way I do?
#####BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME###
Bring the Boys Back Home
Bring the boys back home.
Bring the boys back home.
Don´t leave the children on their own, no, no.
Bring the boys back home.
´Wrong! Do it again!´
´Time to go!´
[knock, knock, knock, knock]
´Are you feeling okay?´
´There´s a man answering, but he keeps hanging up!´
Is there anybody out there?
#####COMFORTABLY NUMB#########
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you´re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I´ll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
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.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I´ve got that feeling once again
I can´t explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There´ll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it´s woring, good.
That´ll keep you going through the show
Come on it´s time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
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.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
####THE SHOW MUST GO ON####
Ooooh, Ma, Oooh Pa
Must the show go on?
Ooooh, Pa. Take me home
Ooooh, Ma. Let me go
There must be some mistake
I didnt mean to let them
Take away my soul.
Am I too old, is it too late?
Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,
Where has the feeling gone?
Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,
Will I remember the songs?
The show must go on.
####IN THE FLESH######
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I´ve got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn´t well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We´re gonna find out where you folks really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There´s one in the spotlight, he don´t look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one´s a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There´s one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I´d have all of you shot!
#####RUN LIKE HELL########
´Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd´
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run.
You better make your face up in
Your favorite disguise.
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes.
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart.
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past.
With your nerves in tatters
When the conchshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down the door.
You´d better run.
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run.
You better sleep all day
And run all night.
Keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.
And if you´re taking your girlfriend
Out tonight
You´d better park the car
Well out of sight.
Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks,
They´re gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box.
You better run.
´Hey, open up! HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaa!´
´Hammer, Hammer´
##WAITING FOR THE WORMS######
´Ein, zwei, drei, alle!´
Ooooh, you cannot reach me now
Ooooh, no matter how you try
Goodbye, cruel world, it´s over
Walk on by.
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come.
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come.
We´re {waiting to succeed} and going to convene outside Brixton
Town Hall where we´re going to be...
Waiting to cut out the deadwood.
Waiting to clean up the city.
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to put on a black shirt.
Waiting to weed out the weaklings.
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors.
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain.
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens.
Waiting for the queers and the coons
and the reds and the jews.
Waiting to follow the worms.
Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms.
Would you like to send our colored cousins
Home again, my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms.
´The Worms will convene outside Brixton Bus Station.
We´ll be moving along at about 12 o´clock down Stockwell Road
twelve minutes to three we´ll be moving along Lambeth Road towards Vauxhall Bridge.
Now when we get to the other side of Vauxhall Bridge we´re in
Westminster {Borough } area. It´s quite possible we may encounter
some {.....} by the way we go. {... ..}.´
##########STOP##############
Stop!
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform
And leave the show.
But I´m waiting in this cell
Because I have to know.
Have I been guilty all this time?
##########THE TRAIL##########
Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he´d come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they´d let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?
Crazy,
Toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.
You little shit you´re in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm your honor,
Him and Me, alone.
Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M´lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble.
Why´d he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home.
Crazy,
Over the rainbow, I am crazy,
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in.
Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.
The evidence before the court is
Incontrivertable, there´s no need for
The jury to retire.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penaltie of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
´Hey Judge! Shit on him!´
But, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!
#####OUT SIDE THE WALL#########
All alone, or in two´s,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they´ve given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it´s not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger´s wall.
´Isn´t this where....´
###############################
#########WISH YOU WERE HERE-1975###################
1. Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V 4. Wish You Were Here
2. Welcome to the Machine 5. Shine on You Crazy Diamond VI-IX
3. Have a Cigar
###SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND 1-5#########
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there´s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, 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!
####WELCOME TO THE MACHINE######
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It´s alright we know where you´ve been.
You´ve been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and ´Scouting for Boys´.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn´t like school, and you know you´re nobody´s fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It´s alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.
######HAVE A CIGAR##########
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You´re gonna go far, fly high,
You´re never gonna die, you´re gonna make it if you try; they´re gonna love you.
Well I´ve always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one´s Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We´re just knocked out. We heard about the sellout. You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We´re so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It´s a helluva start, it could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
#####WISH YOU WERE HERE######
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blueskies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
###SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND 6-9#######
where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I´ll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we´ll bask in the shadow of yesterday´s triumph, and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner for truth and delusion,
and shine!
