Mighty waves come crashing down The spray is lashing high into the eagles eye Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind Is calling sailors to the deep But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear Surf is high an the sea is awash An a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun That was hot to touch And the sea was emerald green I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear And I can see you smile Surf comes rushing up the beach Now will it reach the castle wall and will it fall Catfish dappled silver flashing Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep
Breathe, breathe in the air Dont be afraid to care Leave but dont leave me Look around and choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles youll give and tears youll 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 Dont sit down, its 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
Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro You have no word Trip, trip to a dream dragon Hide your wings in a ghost tower Sails cackling at every plate we break Cracked by scattered needles The little minute gong Coughs and clears his throat Madam you see before you stand Hey ho, never be still The old original favorite grand Grasshoppers green Herbarian band And the tune they play is In Us Confide So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro You have no word Please leave us here Close our eyes to the octopus ride! Isnt it good to be lost in the wood Isnt it bad so quiet there, in the wood Meant even less to me than I thought With a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds Clover honey pots and mystic shining feed... Well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border Hey ho, huff the Talbot The winds they blew and the leaves did wag Theyll never put me in their bag The raging seas will reach and always seep So high you go, so low you creep The wind it blows in tropical heat The drones they throng on mossy seats The squeaking door will always squeak Two up, two down well never meet Please leave us here Close our eyes to the octopus ride!
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone 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 And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but youre 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 naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired Its 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

One sound, one single sound One kiss, one single kiss A face outside the window pane However did it come to this? A man who ran: a child who cried A girl who heard, a voice that lied The sun that burned a fiery red The vision of an empty bed The use of force, he was so tough She’ll soon submit, she’s had enough The march of fate, the broken will Someone is lying very still He has laughed and he has cried He has fought and he has died He’s just the same as all the rest He’s not the worst, and he’s not the best And still, this ceaseless murmuring The babbling that I brook The seas of faces, eyes upraised The empty screen, the vacant look A man in black on a snow white horse A pointless life has run its course The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run As he fades into the setting sun
You behind the bench stand, stand still laddy! When we grew up and went to school There was a certain teacher who would Hurt the children any way they could By pouring this derision Upon anything we did Exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kids But in the town it was well known When he got home at night His psychopathic wife would crush him Within inches of his life

Us and them And after all, were only ordinary men Me and you God only knows, its not 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 And in the end, its only round and round and round Havent you heard its a battle of words The poster bearer cried Listen son, said the man with the gun Theres room for you inside Theyre maybe gonna kill ya. So like, if you give em a quick, short, sharp, shock, they dont do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off light, come to think. Of rationalising it, once. Its only a difference, but why go and ruin it? I mean good manners dont cost nothing, do they, eh? Down and out It cant be helped, but theres a lot of it about With, without And wholl deny its what the fightings all about Out of the way, its a busy day Ive got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died

Little by little the night turns around Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn Lotuses lean on each other in yearning Under the eaves the swallow is resting1 Set the controls for the heart of the Sun Over the mountain watching the watcher Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow Love is the shadow that ripens the wine Set the controls for the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun Witness the man who raves at the wall Making the shape of his question to Heaven Whether the sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson of giving? Set the controls for the heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun The heart of the Sun
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change, 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 Were just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year Runnin over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far Shine on you crazy diamond Pile on many more layers and Ill be joining you there Shine on you crazy diamond And well bask in the shadow of yesterdays triumph Sail on the still breeze Come on you boy child, you winner and loser Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine
Instrumental Ive been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands for so long... Ive always been mad, I know Ive been mad, like the most of us have. Very hard to explain why you are mad, even if youre not mad...
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces Where we used to talk? How should I fill the final places? How should I complete the wall?
All alone, or in twos 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 the artists Make their stand And when theyve given you their all Some stagger and fall, after all its not easy Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall Isnt this where...

Remember when you were young You shone like the Sun Shine on, you crazy diamond Now theres a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky Shine on, you crazy diamond You were caught in 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

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain And 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 And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but youre 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 naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say Breathe Reprise Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired Its 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 spell
Heavy hung the canopy of blue Shade my eyes and I can see you White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore She lay in the shadow of the wave Hazy were the visions of her playing Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her cry ev’ry time Green is the colour of her kind Quickness of the eye deceives the mind Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned

Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars? God! This place is bigger than our apartment! Um, can I get a drink of water? You want some, huh? Oh wow! Hey, look at this tub! Wanna take a bath? What are you watching? Hello? Are you feeling okay? Day after day, the love turns gray Like the skin of a dying man And 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 Youll find my favourite axe Dont look so frightened This is just a passing phase One of my bad days Would you like to watch TV? 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 its time I stopped? Why are you running away?

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no-one showed us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries Now starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes No-one speaks and no-one tries No-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky
The path you tread is narrow And the drop is sheer and very high The ravens all are watching From a vantage point nearby Apprehension creeping Like a tube-train up your spine Will the tightrope reach the end? Will the final couplet rhyme? And it’s high time! Cymbaline It’s high time! Cymbaline Please wake me A butterfly with broken wings Is falling by your side The ravens all are closing in And there’s nowhere you can hide Your manager and agent Are both busy on the phone Selling coloured photographs To magazines back home And it’s high time! Cymbaline It’s high time! Cymbaline Please wake me The lines converging where you stand They must have moved the picture plane The leaves are heavy around your feet You hear the thunder of the train And suddenly it strikes you That they’re moving into range And Doctor Strange is always changing size And it’s high time! Cymbaline It’s high time! Cymbaline Please wake me And it’s high time! Cymbaline It’s high time! Cymbaline Please wake me

A restless eye across a weary room A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without end No hint, no word her honour to defend I will, I will she sighed to my request And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire I led the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you won’t forget There’ll be no sleep in here tonight Was it love or was it the idea of being in love? Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life to a life One regret, you will never forget There’ll be no sleep in here tonight One slip… one slip…
Ooooh babe, dont leave me now Dont say its 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, dont leave me now How can you treat me this way? Running away Ooooh babe Why are you running away? Ooh, babe Ooh, babe Ooh, babe Ooh, ooh Aaaaaaaaaaargh!!
Remember when you were young You shone like the Sun Shine on, you crazy diamond Now theres a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky Shine on, you crazy diamond You were caught in 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
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 in here Feel the way I do?
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can? And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless every day you fall Upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Come on , now I hear youre feeling down Well, I can ease your pain And get you on your feet again Relax Ill 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 cant hear what youre saying When I was a child, I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now Ive got that feeling once again I cant explain, you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb Okay Just a little pinprick Therell be no more But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe its working, good Thatll keep you going through the show Come on, its 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 cant hear what youre 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
Grooving around in a trench coat With the satin on trail Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale Jiving on down to the beach To see the blue and the gray Seems to be all and its rosy-its a beautiful day! Will you please keep on the track cause I almost want you back cause I know what you are You are a gigolo aunt, youre a gigolo aunt! Yes I know what you are You are a gigolo aunt, youre a gigolo aunt! Heading down with the light, the dust in your way She was angrier than, than her watershell male Life to this love to me - heading me down to me Thunderbird shale Seems to be all and its rosy - its a beautiful day! Will you please keep on the track cause I almost want you back cause I know what you are You are a gigolo aunt Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative day Some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away She made the scene should have been-superlative day Everythings all and its rosy, its a beautiful day Will you please keep on the track cause I almost want you back cause I know what you are You are a gigolo aunt...
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evening birds are calling Summer Sunday and a year The sound of music in my ears Distant bells, new mown grass smells Song sweet By the river holding hands Roll me up and lay me down And if you see, don’t make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a tongue so strange Sing to me, sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evening birds are calling Children’s laughter in my ears The last song-light disappears And if you see, don’t make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a tongue so strange Sing to me, sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
