Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten Blinding signs flap Flicker, flicker, flicker blam, pow Stairway scare Dan dare who's there Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters underground
Lucifer Sam, siam cat Always sitting by your side Always by your side That cat's something I can't explain Jennifer Gentle, you're a witch You're the left side, he's the right side Oh, no! That cat's something I can't explain Lucifer, go to sea Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat Somewhere, anywhere That cat's something I can't explain At night prowling, sifting sand Hiding around on the ground He'll be found when you're around That cat's something I can't explain
There was a king who ruled the land His majesty was in command With silver eyes the scarlet eagle Showers silver on the people Oh mother, tell me more Why'd'ya have to leave me there Hanging in my infant air Waiting? You only have to read the lines They're scribbly black and everything (shines) Across the stream with wooden shoes With bells to tell the king the news A thousand misty riders climb up Higher once upon a time Wandering and dreaming The words have different meaning Yes they did For all the time spent in that room The doll's house, darkness, old perfume And fairy stories held me high on Clouds of sunlight floating by Oh mother, tell me more Tell me more
Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown Yippee! You can't see me But I can you Lazing in the foggy dew Sitting on a unicorn No fair, you can't hear me But I can you Watching buttercups cup the light (light) Sleeping on a dandelion Too much, I won't touch you But then I might Screaming through the starlit sky Travelling by telephone Hey ho, here we go Ever so high Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown Yippee! You can't see me But I can you
(Doctor, doctor) I'm in bed (Doctor, doctor) achin' head (Doctor, doctor) gold is lead (Doctor, doctor) choke on bread (Doctor, doctor) underfed (Doctor, doctor) gold is lead (Doctor, doctor) Jesus bled (Doctor, doctor) pain is red (Doctor, doctor) dark doom Gruel ghoul, greasy spoon Used spoon, June bloom Music seems to help the pain Seems to motivate the brain Doctor, kindly tell your wife that I'm alive Flowers thrive, realize, realize, realize
I want to tell you a story About a little man If I can A gnome named Grimble Crumble And little gnomes stay in their homes Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine He wore a scarlet tunic A blue green hood It looked quite good He had a big adventure Amidst the grass Fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time And then one day, hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Ooomray Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Winding, finding places to go And then one day, hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Ooomray Ooomray

The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere, he didn't care He stood in a field where barley grows His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move Except when the wind cut up rough and mice ran around on the ground He stood in a field where barley grows The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me But now he's resigned to his fate 'cause life's not unkind, he doesn't mind He stood in a field where barley grows
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like It's got a basket, a bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything, everything if you want things I've got a cloak it's a bit of a joke There's a tear up the front It's red and black, I've had it for months If you think it could look good, then I guess it should You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything, everything if you want things I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything, everything if you want things I've got a clan of gingerbread men Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men Take a couple if you wish They're on the dish You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything, everything if you want things I know a room of musical tunes Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork Let's go into the other room and make them work
Far, far, far away, way People heard him say, say I will find a way, way There will come a day, day Something will be done Then at last, the mighty ship Descending on a point of flame Made contact with the human race At Mildenhall Now, now, now Is the time, time, time To be, be, be aware Carter's father saw it there And knew the road revealed to him The living soul of Hereward the Wake Oh, my, something in my eye, eye Something in the sky, sky Waiting there for me The outer lock rolled slowly back The service men were heard to sigh For there revealed in glowing robes Was Lucy in the sky Oh, oh, did you ever know, know Never ever will they I can't say Summoning his cosmic powers And glowing slightly from his clothes His psychic emanations flowed
Remember a day before today A day when you were young Free to play alone with time Evening never come Sing a song that can't be sung Without the morning's kiss Queen, you shall be it if you wish Look for your king Why can't we play today? Why can't we stay that way? Climb your favourite apple tree Try to catch the sun Hide from your little brother's gun Dream yourself away Why can't we reach the sun? Why can't we blow the years away? Blow away Blow away Remember Remember
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 resting Set the controls for the heart of the sun Over the mountain watching the watcher Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine One inch of love is one inch 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 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
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg He won it in the war, in 1944 Corporal Clegg had a medal too In orange, red, and blue He found it in the zoo Dear, dear, were they really sad for me? Dear, dear, will they really laugh at me? Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the rain He's never been the same No one is to blame Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream From Her Majesty the queen His boots were very clean Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin

Marigolds are very much in love But he doesn't mind Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the seas or land All the way she smiles She goes up while he goes down, down Sits on a stick in the river Laughter in his sleep Sister's throwing stones Hoping for a hit He doesn't know so then She goes up while he goes down, down Another time, another day A brother's way to leave Another time, another day She'll be selling plastic flowers On a Sunday afternoon Picking up weeds, she hasn't got the time to care All can see he's not there She grows up for another man and he's down Another time, another day A brother's way to leave Another time, another day Another time, another day A brother's way to leave
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm most obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke
In a churchyard by a river Lazing in the haze of midday Laughing in the grasses and the graze Yellow bird you are not long in Singing and in flying on Laughing and in leaving Willow weeping in the water Waving to the river daughters Swaying in the ripples and the reeds On a trip to Cirrus Minor Saw a crater in the sun A thousand miles of moonlight later
I was standing by the Nile When I saw the lady smile. I would take her out for a while, For a while. Oh, my tears wept like a child. How her golden hair was blowing wild. Then she spread her wings to fly, For to fly. Soaring high above the breezes, Going always where she pleases. She will make it to the islands in the sun. I will follow in her shadow As I watch her from my window. One day I will catch her eye. She is calling from the deep, Summoning my soul to endless sleep. She is bound to drag me down, Drag me down.
We smile and smile We smile and smile Laughter echoes in your eyes We climb and climb We climb and climb Footfalls softly in the pines We cry and cry We cry and cry Sadness passes in a while We roll and roll We roll and roll Help me roll away the stone
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 beat her blind every time Green is the color of her kind Quickness of the eye deceives the mind Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned, damned
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 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
I'm so afraid of mistakes that I've made Shaking every time that I awake I feel like a cardboard cut-out man So build me a time When the characters rhyme And the story line is kind I've aged and aged since the first page I've lived every line that you wrote Take me down, take me down From the shelf above your head And build me a time When the characters rhyme And the story line is kind I live where I'm left On the shelf like the rest And the epilogue reads like a sad song Please pick up your camera And use me again And build me a time When the characters rhyme And the storyline is kind Yeah
Pass the tequila, Manuel Listen, gringo Laugh at my lisp and I kill you I think! Ah, this Spanish music It sets my soul on fire Lovely senorita Your eyes are like stars Your teeth are like pearls Your ruby lips
Lime and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten Blinding signs flap Flicker, flicker, flicker blam, pow Stairway scare Dan dare who's there Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds around The icy waters underground
"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain" In the sky a bird was heard to cry Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds Belie the deathly silence that lay all around Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer Making for the sea In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox Gone to ground See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees

Following the path as it leads towards the darkness in the north Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the words they sing Close your aching eyes beyond your name Mist is swelling, creatures crawling Hear the roar get louder in your ears You know the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all your fears And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the restless sky Close your aging eyes beyond your name Throw your thoughts back many years To the time when there was life in every morning Perhaps a day will come When the nights will be as clear as on that morning And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you the night is beckoning And you know you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't touch the words they sing Close your aging eyes beyond your name
If I were a swan, I'd be gone If I were a train, I'd be late And if I were a good man I'd talk with you More often than I do If I were to sleep, I could dream If I were afraid, I could hide If I go insane, please don't put Your wires in my brain If I were the moon, I'd be cool If I were a rule, I would bend for you If I were a good man, I'd understand The spaces between friends If I were alone, I would cry And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry And if I go insane Will you still let me join in with the game? If I were a swan, I'd be gone If I were a train, I'd be late again If I were a good man I'd talk with you More often than I do
Would you like to say something before you leave? Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel We said goodbye before we said hello I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year And I would like to know How do you feel, how do you feel? How do you feel, how do you feel? Not a single word was said, the night still hid our fears Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need? I felt the cold far too soon, in a room of 95 My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there Tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you Have you time before you leave to greet another man? Just you let me know How do you feel, how do you feel? How do you feel, how do you feel? Goodbye to you Charlotte Pringle's due I've had enough for one day
When that 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 so 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 sunlight 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
Oh, um, flakes, oh Then, uh, I don't know, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes Toast, coffee Marmalade, I like marmalade Porridge is nice, any cereal. I like all cereals Breakfast in Los Angeles, macrobiotic stuff I don't mind a barrow, I like barrowing the stuff in Now I've got a terrible back. When I work, it hurts me Do you what I mean, John? Well, he's sort of, err... when driving on the road he has a sleep, gets ready for the gig I don't know He does all the electrical stuff. I can't be bothered with that, it's so fiddly All my head's a blank
One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces
A cloud of eiderdown Draws around me Softening a sound Sleepy time, and I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And the candle dies When night comes down, you lock the door The book falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons change, the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan Behold a dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain is falling In a golden dawn And deep beneath the ground The early morning sounds And I go down Sleepy time, when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And I rise, like a bird In the haze, when the first rays Touch the sky And the night winds die
You say the hill's too steep to climb, chiding You say you'd like to see me try climbing You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait awhile for the right day And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown? Go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool!
As I reach for a peach, slide a rind down behind The sofa in San Tropez Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand that fell from my love Deep in my dreams and I still hear her callin' "If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home" Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove Gone with the wind and the rain, on an airplane Born in a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together Speeding away on the wind to a new day If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home And I pause for a while by a country stile And listen to the things they say Diggin' for gold with a hole in my hand Open a book, take a look at the way things stand And you're leading me down to the place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for later by phone And if you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home
I was in the kitchen, Seamus, that's the dog, was outside Well, I was in the kitchen, Seamus, my old hound, was outside Well, the sun sinks slowly But my old hound just sat right down and cried
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 where's or why's 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 Call to you across the sky

Come on, my friends Let's make for the hills They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills You can get your hands on whatever we find Because I'm only coming along for the ride Well, you go your way I'll go mine I don't care if we get there on time Everybody's searching for something, they say I'll get my kicks on the way Over the mountains, across the seas Who knows what will be waiting for me? I could sail forever to strange sounding names Faces of people and places don't change All I have to do is just close my eyes To see the seagulls wheeling on those far distant skies All I want to tell you, all I want to say Is count me in on the journey Don't expect me to stay
Bridges burning gladly Merging with the shadows Flickering between the lines Stolen moments floating softly on the air Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher Ancient bonds are breaking Moving on and changing sides Dreaming of a new day Cast aside the other way Magic visions stirring Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eye The doorway stands ajar The walls that once were high Beyond the gilded cage Beyond the reach of ties The moment is at hand She breaks the golden band
Come on my friends let's make for the hills They say there's gold and I'm looking for thrills You can get your hands on whatever we find 'Cause I'm only coming along for the ride Well you go your way I'll go mine I don't care if we get there on time Everybody's searching for something they say I'll get my kicks on the way Over the mountains across the sea Who knows what may be waiting for me I can sail forever to strange sounding names Faces of people and places don't change All I have to do is just close my eyes To see the seagulls wheeling in those far distant skies All I wanna tell you all I wanna say Is count me in on the journey Don't expect me to stay
Heaven sent the promised land Looks alright from where I stand 'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line because it's time To let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul And I think I'm growing old Flash the readies Got to make it to the next meal Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel Mile after mile stone after stone You turn to speak but you're alone Million miles from home you're on your own So let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul And I think I'm growing old Fire bright by candle light With her by my side And if she prefers we need never stir again Someone sent the promised land And I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man on the inside looking out Hear me shout, "Come on in What's the news, and where you been?" 'Cause there's no wind left in my soul And I've grown old
You shout in your sleep Perhaps the price is just too steep Is your conscious at rest If once put to the test You awake with a start To just the beating of your heart Just one man beneath the sky Just two ears just two eyes You set sail across the sea Of long past thoughts and memories Childhood's end your fantasies Merge with harsh realities And then as the sail is hoist You find your eyes are growing moist And all the fears never voiced Say you have to make the final choice Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why Some are born some men die Beneath one infinite sky There'll be war there'll be peace But everything one day will cease All the iron turn to rust All the proud men turn to dust So all things time will mend And so this song will end
One two free four The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room And talk to yourself as you die Life is a short warm moment And death is a long cold rest You get your chance to try In the twinkling of an eye Eighty years with luck or even less So all aboard for the American tour And maybe you'll make it to the top But mind how you go And I can tell you 'cos I know You may find it hard to get off But you are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son He was buried like a mole in a fox-hole And everyone's still on the run And who is the master of foxhounds? And who says the hunt has begun? And who calls the tune in the courtroom? And who beats the funeral drum? The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room And talk to yourself as you die
Stay! And help me to end the day And if you don't mind We'll break a bottle of wine Stick around And maybe we'll put one down 'Cause I wanna find What lies behind those eyes Midnight blue Burning gold A yellow moon Is growing cold I rise Looking through my morning eyes Surprised To find you by my side Rack my brain And try to remember your name To find The words to tell you good-bye Morning dues Newborn day Midnight blue Turned to gray Midnight blue Burning gold A yellow moon Is growing cold
Stay and help me to end the day And if you don't mind we'll break a bottle of wine Stick around and maybe we'll put one down Cause I wanna find what lies behind those eyes Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold I rise looking through my morning eyes Surprised to find you by my side Rack my brain to try to remember your name To find the words to tell you goodbye Morning dues newborn day Midnight blue turned to gray Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold Compositor: Richard Wright / Roger Waters
"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 have..." "Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."
Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, but don't leave me Look around and choose your own ground For 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
Get your baggage and your passports ready And follow the green line to customs and then to immigration BA 215 to Rome, Prado and Lagos May I have your attention, please? Customs will be receiving passengers to BA 215 To Rome, Prado and Lagos Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me
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 hometown 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 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 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 I'd something more to say 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
And I am not frightened of dying, you know 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 Get away You get a good job with more 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 alright, 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 traveling 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 rise It's no surprise that they're giving none away Away, away, away Away, away, away 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 cruisin' for a bruisin' Yeah! Why does anyone do anything? I don't know, I was really drunk at the time Just telling him it was in, he could get it in number two He was asking why it wasn't coming up on freight eleven And after, I was yelling and screaming and telling him why It wasn't coming up on freight eleven
Us and them And after all, we're only ordinary men Me and you God only knows, it's 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, it's only round and 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 (They're maybe gonna kill ya. So like, if you give 'em a quick, short, sharp, shock, they don't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off light, come to think. Of rationalising it, once. It's only a difference, but why go and ruin it? 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 want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died
Artist: Pink Floyd Album: The Dark Side of the Moon Title: Any Colour You Like
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 forbodings 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!
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 And all that you say And all that you eat And everyone you meet (everyone you meet) All that you slight And 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
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 in the cross fire 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 (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 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 brought 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
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, you're gonna 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 sell out. 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.
Nobody knows 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, Sail on the steel breeze. Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
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 Ocassionally glancing up through the rain Wondering which of the buggars to blame And watching for pigs on the wing
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, 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 not a 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 Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream Yeah, ha-ha-ha 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 wanna grow old
You know that I care What happens to you And I know that you care For me too So, I don't feel alone on 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 A shelter from pigs on the wing
-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! Roll the sound effects! Action! Drop it, drop it on 'em Drop it, drop it on them!
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.
Daddy's flown across the ocean Leaving just a memory A snapshot in the family album Daddy, what else did you leave for me? Daddy, what d'ya 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 One, two, three Hey!
You! Yes, you! Stand still lady When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children 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

I am just a new boy A stranger in this town Where are all the good times? Who's gonna show this stranger around? Ooh, I need a dirty woman Ooh, 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 Ooh, babe, set me free Ooh, I need a dirty woman Ooh, I need a dirty girl Ooh, I need a dirty woman Ooh, I need a dirty gal Hello?

(Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars?) (This place is bigger than our apartment!) (Uh, can I get a drink of water?) (You want some, huh?) (Oh wow, look at this tub, do you wanna take a bath?) (What are you watching?) (Hello?) (Are you feeling okay?) Day after day, love turns grey Like the skin of a dying man And night after night, we pretend it's all right But I have grown older And you have grown colder And nothing is very much fun anymore But 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 favourite axe Don't 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? Oh, no Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away?

Running away Ooh, babe Why are you running away? Ooh, babe Ooh, babe Ooh, babe
I don't need no arms around me, and I don't 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 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 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 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 Don't 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 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 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 Out there on 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 (We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall)
Well, only got an hour of daylight left, better get started Isn't it unsafe to travel at night? It'll be a lot less safe to stay here, your father's gonna pick up our trail before long Can Loca ride?

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 I got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight I got 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 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 Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone There is still nobody home I've got a pair of Gohills boots and I got fading roots
Where are you Where the hell are you, Simon? 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?
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 Wrong, do it again Wrong, do it again (Time to go) Wrong, do it again Are you feeling okay?

Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well, I can ease your pain And 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 I have become comfortably numb Okay Just a little pinprick There'll be no more But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, 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
(Ah-ah) Ooh, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh (Ah-ah) (Ah-ah) (Ooh-ma, ah, ooh-pa) Must the show go on? (Ooh-pa, take me home, take me home, take me home) (Ooh-ma, let me go, let me go, let me go) There must be some mistake, I didn't mean to let them Take away my soul, am I too old, is it too late? (Ooh-ma, ooh-pa) Where has the feeling gone? (Ooh-ma, ooh-pa) Will I remember the song? (Ooh, ooh, ah) The show must go on

Get 'em up against the wall (against the wall) Now there's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me Get him up against the wall (against the) And that one looks Jewish And that one's a coon Who let all this riff-raff into the room?

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 as the cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter down your door You'd 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 you're 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 They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box You better run (Hammer! Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!)
"Eins, zwei, drei, alle!" Ooh-ooh, you cannot reach me now (oh-oh) Ooh-ooh, no matter how you try (oh-oh) Goodbye, cruel world, it's over Walk on by Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come (worms to come) In perfect isolation here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come (worms to come) "The worms will convene at 1:15 outside Brixton Town Hall where we will be going in force!" (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 (Would you like to see us rule again) My friend?

I wanna go home, take off this uniform and leave the show I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know, have I been guilty all this time?
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 he'd come to no good In the end your honour 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 honour Him and me alone" Babe Come to mother baby let me hold you In my arms M'lord I never wanted him to Get in any trouble Why'd 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 Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy The evidence before the court is Incontravertable, 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 penalty of law The way you made them suffer Your exquisite wife and mother Fills me with the urge to defecate Go on Judge, shit on him!

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! Tear down...
All alone or in twos The ones who really love you Walk up and down outside the wall Some hand in hand And some gather together in bands The bleeding hearts and the 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 buggers wall Isn't this where-
(Announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter at Peterborough in Cambridgeshire) (Three high court judges have cleared the way) (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) (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 Was it for this that Daddy died? Was it for you? Was it me? Did I watch too much TV? 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 that 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 did we do?
They flutter behind you your possible pasts Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost A warning to anyone still in command "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 should be closer? (Closer, closer, 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? (Closer, closer, closer) By the cold and religious, we were taken in hand Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad 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? (Closer, closer, closer)
When you're one of the few, To land on your feet. What do you do to make ends meet? (Teach) Make 'em mad Make 'em sad Make 'em add two and two Make 'em me Make 'em you Make 'em do what you want them to Make 'em laugh Make 'em cry Make 'em lay down and die
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 and 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 That's the only time that I can really speak to you 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 The memory smolders on Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom
Floating down, through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now But in the space between the heavens And the corner of some foreign field I had a dream I had a dream Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma After the service, when you're walking 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 teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream A place to stay, enough to eat Somewhere, old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears And what's 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 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 the dream Take heed
Button your lip And 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 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 can hide, hide, hide "I'll tell you what mates, I'll give you three blacks And play you for five" Behind petrified eyes "Ta! You was unlucky there son" You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high And you hide, hide, hide "Time gentleman!" Behind brown and mild eyes
"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
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. "Good-bye!" 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.
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.
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 spiraling 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 shotguns in the hall Dial the combination, open the priesthole And if I'm in I'll tell you 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

In my rear view mirror The sun is going down Sinking behind bridges in the road I think of all the good things That we have left undone And I suffer premonitions Confirm suspicions Of the holocaust to come The rusty 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 Could be the human race is run? Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck (oh no) You stretch the frozen moments with your fear And you'll never hear their voices (daddy, daddy!) And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore As the windshield melts and my tears evaporate 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
♫ When the child-like view of the world went, nothing replaced it Nothing replaced it Nothing replaced it (Nothing replaced it, nothing replaced it) I do not like being asked to (Nothing replaced it) I do not like being asked to (I do not like being asked to) Other people replaced it, someone who knows ♫
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a wind swept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Friction lock, set Mixtures, rich Propellers, fully forward Flaps, set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction, check Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Dogs of war and men of hate With no cause, we don't discriminate Discovery is to be disowned Our currency is flesh and bone Hell opened up and put on sale Gather 'round and haggle For hard cash, we will lie and deceive Even our masters don't know the web we weave One world, it's a battleground One world, and we will smash it down One world, one world Invisible transfers, long distance calls, Hollow laughter in marble halls Steps have been taken, a silent uproar Has unleashed the dogs of war You can't 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, it's a battleground One world, and we will smash it down One world, one world The dogs of war don't negotiate The dogs of war won't 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 they've been there before Well winners can lose and things can get strained But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain. One world, it's a battleground One world, and we will smash it down One world, one world
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 lead 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 for life A small regret, you will never forget, There'll be no sleep in here tonight
On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite in a silent accord Using words, you will find, are strange Mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?
I have always been here I have always looked out from behind these eyes It feels like more than a lifetime Feels like more than a lifetime Sometimes I get tired of the waiting Sometimes I get tired of being in here Is this the way it's always been? Could it ever have been different? Do you ever get tired of the waiting? Do you ever get tired of being in there? Don't worry, nobody lives forever Nobody lives forever
I have always been here I have always looked out from behind these eyes It feels like more than a lifetime Feels like more than a lifetime Sometimes I get tired of the waiting Sometimes I get tired of being in here Is this the way it has always been?

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise He's chained forever to a world that's departed It's not enough, it's not enough His blood has frozen and curdled with fright His knees have trembled and given way in the night His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered One world, one soul Time pass, the river roll And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication And silent replies that swirl invitation Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea A grim intimation of what is to be There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night And there's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight And silence that speaks so much louder than words Of promises broken
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 anymore? Play these strings until 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?
Did you know It was all going to go so wrong for you? And did you see Did you know? Did you know? 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 that light in your eyes Hey you Did you ever realise 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? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? Did you– But I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes
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 bloodied 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 residues slipped away Slipped away
From morning to night, I stayed out of sight Didn't recognize 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 an endless stream of garbage) 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) Not beating much (to break) 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 round 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) Have blown away (he'll 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) Ourselves again (to break)
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, she 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 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 easy to ignore them, God knows I've tried All of this temptation, you know 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
Where were you when I was burned and broken? While the days slipped by from my window watching And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless? 'Cause 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 change were planted Outside, the rain fell dark and slow While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible 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 sun
"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 And 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 talk 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"
I was spending my time in the doldrums I was caught in a cauldron of hate I felt persecuted and paralysed I thought that everything 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 gonna 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 the door So I open 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
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

We bitch and we fight Diss each other on sight But this thing we do These times together Rain or shine or stormy weather This thing we do With world-weary grace We've taken our places We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name Or stay home by the fire, filled by desire Stoking the flame But we're here for the ride It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words The strings bend and slide As the hours glide by An old pair of shoes, your favorite blues Gonna tap out the rhythm Let's go with the flow, wherever it goes We're more than alive It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words Louder than words This thing they call soul Is there with a pulse Louder than words Louder than words End
