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 |
Mother do you think theyll drop the bomb
Mother do you think theyll like the song
Mother do you think theyll try to break my balls
Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Is it just a waste of time
Hush now baby, baby dont you cry
Mamas gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mamas gonna put all of her fears into you
Mamas gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
She wont let you fly but she might let you sing
Mamas gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, ooooh babe
Of course Mamas gonna help build the wall
Mother do you think shes good enough
For me
Mother do you think shes dangerous
To me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby dont you cry
Mamas gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through
Mamas gonna wait up till you get in
Mama will always find out where
Youve been
Mamas gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, ooooh babe
Youll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high |
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all thats 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, its all dark |
Dogs of war and man of hate
With no cause we dont discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened and put on sale
Gather round and haggle
For hard cash we will lie and deceive
Even our masters dont know the web we weave
One world, its a battle-ground
One world and we will smash it down
Invisible transfers and long-distance calls
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken
A silent roar has unleashed the dogs of war
You cant stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
One world, its a battle-ground
One world and they smashed it down
The dogs of war dont negotiate
The dogs of war wont capitulate
They will take and you will give
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door
But wherever you go, you know theyve been there before
Well, winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain
One world, its a battle-ground
One world, we are going to smash it down
One world, its a battle-ground
One world, we are going to smash it down |
Ooh ma, ooh pa
Your mothers so sorry now
Ooh pa, ooh ma
Do I have to stand up, wild eyed in the spotlight?
Fuck me, what a nightmare, whos there?
Have they all gone?
Its okay now youre in luck
The worms have fled the rising sun
Their evil power is on the way
Forget the past and start again
It was just a mistake
I didnt mean to let them take away my soul
Am I too old?
Is it too late?
Ooh ma, ooh pa
Your mothers so sorry now
Ooh ma, ooh pa
Your mothers so sorry now
Ooh ma, ooh pa
Its never too late |

Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you Babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Baby Blue
Ooooh 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
Dont 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 |
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 |
In the sad town
Cold iron hands clap
The party of clowns outside
Rain falls in gray far away
Please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
When the earth streams in, in the morning
Send a cage through the post
Make your name like a ghost
Please, please, Baby Lemonade
Im screaming, I met you this way
Youre nice to me like ice
In the clock they sent through a washing machine
Come around, make it soon, so alone...
Please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the sad town
Cold iron hands clap
The party of clowns outside
Rain falls in gray far away
Please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
When the earth streams in, in the morning
Send a cage through the post
Make your name like a ghost
Please, please, Baby Lemonade |
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 |
Good evening, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and
Welcome to Earls Court;
My name is Gary Yudman, and we are going to have a great
Show this evening!
The band is backstage, and will be ready to go in just a few
Minutes...
Before the show begins, the house management would like to
Ask just a few things:
First, please, no fireworks; and please, no flash cameras;
And, any audio or
Video equipment found being used may be confiscated; so
Please save yourself
A lot of hassle
Well, I think the band is about ready to go now! No, no, not
Quite yet... at this time
I would like to point out, upon conclusion of the show... |
One of these days, I’m going to cut you into little pieces |
So you thought you might like to go to the show?
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
Is there something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you want to get a look at whats behind these cold eyes
Youll just have to claw your way through this disguise |
What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where she used to walk
How shall we fill the final places
How shall we complete the wall? |
Daddys flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatdja 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 |
Careful, careful, careful with that axe, Eugene |
So ya thought ya
Might like to go to the show
To feel that warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Ive got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isnt well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
Were gonna find out where you fans really stand
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall
Theres one in the spotlight, he dont look right to me
Get him up against the wall
That one looks Jewish!
And that ones a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
Theres one smoking a joint!
And another with spots!
If I had my way
Id have all of you shot! |
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?
Ooooooh babe
Ooooooh babe
Ooooooh babe |
Must the show go on?
There must be some mistake
I didnt mean to let them
Take away my soul
Am I too old, is it too late?
Where has the feeling gone?
Will I remember the song?
The show must go on |
Good morning, Worm your honour
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 hed come to no good
In the end your honour
If theyd 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
You little shit youre 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 honour
Him and me, alone
Babe
Come to mother baby, let me hold you in my arms
Mlord I never wanted him to get in any trouble
Whyd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honour, 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
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible
Theres 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 penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall! |
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and youre okay
Money, its a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think Ill buy me a football team
Money, get back
Im alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, its a hit
Dont give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Im in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, its a crime
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
Its no surprise that theyre giving none away
Away away away
Away away away |
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? |
Pink Floyd
Doesnt mean its not a nice band |
I dont need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Dont think I need anything at all
No!
Dont think Ill need anything at all
All in all it was just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall |
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... |
Mother, do you think theyll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think theyll like this song?
Mother, do you think theyll try to break my balls?
Ooh, ah
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?
Ooh, ah, is it just a waste of time?
Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry
Mammas gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mammas gonna put all of her fears into you
Mammas gonna keep you right here, under her wing
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing
Mammas gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Oooh babe, Oooh babe, Oooh babe
Of course Mammas gonna help build the wall
Mother, do you think shes good enough, for me?
Mother, do you think shes dangerous, to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh ah
Mother, will she break my heart?
Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry
Mammas going to check out all your girlfriends for you
Mamma wont let anyone dirty get through
Mammas gonna wait up until you get in
Mamma will always find out where youve been
Mammas gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Oooh babe, Oooh babe, Oooh baby
Youll always be baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high? |
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 |
But theres somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington..
Whos that?
Rose Pilchitt!
Rose Pilchitt? Whos that?
36-24-36 does that answer your question?
Whos she?
She was Miss Armoured Division in 1961...
Ive got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When Im a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
Ive got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
Ive got electric light
And Ive got second sight
Ive got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There will be nobody home
Ive got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
Ive got nicotine stains on my fingers
Ive got a silver spoon on a chain
Ive got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
Ive got wild staring eyes
And Ive got a strong urge to fly
But Ive got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh babe when I pick up the phone
Theres still nobody home
Ive got a pair of Gohills boots
And Ive got fading roots |
Have your baggage and your passports ready and follow the green line to customs and then to immigration. BA 215 to Rome, Cairo and Lagos
Live for today, gone tomorrow. Thats me

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See-through baby blue
He dug it
Oh Arnold Layne, its not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why cant you see
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Now hes caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it
Oh Arnold Layne, its not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why cant you see
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne dont do it again |
Goodbye cruel world
Im leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye cruel world
Theres nothing you can do
To make me change
Goodbye, goodbye |
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
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
I mean, theyre not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give em a quick short, sharp, shock
They wont do it again
Dig it? I mean he get off lightly
Cause I wouldve given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, 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 |
I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Whos gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl
Will some 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
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl |
You! Yes you! Stand still laddie!
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
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
Ooooooh, oooooh, ooooh, ooooooh
Ooooooh, oooooh, oooooooh |
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
You better make your face up with your favourite 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 as the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run!
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if youre taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
Theyre gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run! |
Yeah, back in the sauce
So, Id like you to be nice cause Im nice, the Pink Floyd are nice, and give these boys a real big hand of applaud and a great welcome to Sweden. So everybody put your hands together
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
All you need is love
P-I-N-K-F-L-O-Y-D, Floyd go now! |
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
Dont give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with your 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, Im 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, out there on the road
Always doing what youre told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall |
Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you Babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Baby Blue
Ooooh 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
Dont 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 |
Eins, zwei, drei, alle!
Ooooh, you cannot reach me now
Ooooh, no matter how you try
Goodbye, cruel world, its 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
Were waiting to succeed and going to convene outside Brixton Town Hall where were going to be...
To cut out the deadwood
To clean up the city
To follow the worms
To put on a black shirt
To weed out the weaklings
To smash in their windows and kick in their doors
For the final solution to strengthen the strain
To follow the worms
To turn on the showers and fire the ovens
For the queens and the coons and the reds and the Jews
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 coloured cousins
Home again, my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms |
Money, get away
You get a good job with more pay and youre okay
Money, it’s a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think Ill buy me a football team
Money, get back
Im alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it’s a hit
Ah, dont give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Im in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, its a crime
Share it fairly, but dont take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise, its no surprise
That theyre giving none away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, ooh...
- Yeah -- -- I was in the right!
- Yes, absolutely in the right!
- I certainly was in the right!
- Yeah, I was definitely in the right; that geezer was cruising for a bruising...
- Yeah
- Why does anyone do anything?
- I dont know, I was really drunk at the time...
- I was just telling him it was in, he could get it in number two. He was asking why it wasn’t coming up on fader eleven. After, I was yelling and screaming and telling him why it wasn’t coming up on fader eleven. It came to a heavy blow, which sorted the matter out |
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 |
Goodbye cruel world
Im leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
Theres nothing you can say
To make me change
My mind
Goodbye |
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? |
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 you1
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 babe2
Why are you running away?
Ooooooh babe
Ooooooh babe
Ooooooh babe
The Bulls are already out there...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!
This Roman Meal bakery thought youd like to know. |
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 |
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Dont leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home
Wrong, do it again!
knock Time to go!
Are you feeling okay?
He keeps hanging up, and its a man answering!
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
Is there anybody out there |
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? |

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 |
