[serbedzija]

IN THE FLESH ?

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 want to find out what's behind these cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through the
Disguise.


THE THIN ICE

Mamma 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 Babe
Ooooh Baby blue
Ooooh Babe.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of mother life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes.
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.


ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ( part 1 )

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot 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.


THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children anyway they could.
By pouring their derisions
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids.
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives.


ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ( part 2 )

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave the kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.


MOTHER

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll 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
Oooh ma is it just a wasted time

Hush now baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough for me
Mother do you think she's dangerous tell me
Mother will she make your little boy a toy
Oooh mother will she break my heart

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up 'till you get in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
You'll always be a Baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?


GOODBYE BLUE SKY

Ooooooooooooooooooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky.
Ooooooooooooooooooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long-gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye.


EMPTY SPASES

What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall.


YOUNG LUST

I'm just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock'n'roll refugee
Oooh baby set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.


ONE OF MY TURNS

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 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 bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
Just 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 you?
Would you like to see me try?
Oh I don't know
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?


DON'T LEAVE ME NOW

Ooooh Babe
Don't leave me now
Don't say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you, Babe,
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooooh Babe

Don't 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
Don't leave me now
How can you treat me this way
Running away
I need you, Babe,
Why are you running away?
Ooooooh Babe!


ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ( part 3 )

I don't need no arms around me
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'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.


GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye.
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change
My mind,
Goodbye.

[serbedzija]

HEY YOU
Hey you! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you! standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
Hey you! 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 you 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.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE ?
Is there anybody out there?

NOBODY HOME
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 keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
I'v got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've 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 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 the 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've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home.
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots.


VERA
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn.
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
some sunny day.
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?


BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own
Bring the boys back home


COMFORTABLY NUMB
Hello,
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now,
I hear you are feeling down
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 receiding
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 baloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going though the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receiding
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 has grown
The dream is gone
And I have become
Comfortably numb.


THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Oooh ma Oooh pa
Must the show go on
Oooh Pa take me home
Oooh Ma let me go
Do I have to stand up
Wild eyed in the spotlight
What a nightmare. Why!
Don't I turn and run
There must be some mistake
I didn't mean to let them
Take away my soul.
Am I too old is it too late
Oooh Ma Oooh Pa
Where has the feeling gone?
Oooh Ma Oooh Pa
Will I remember the songs?
The show must go on!


IN THE FLESH

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate, band
And we're going to find out where your fans
Really stand

Are there any queers in the theatre tonight
Get 'em up against the wall.
There's on in the spotlight
He don't look right to me
Get him up against the wall
And that one looks Jewish
And that one's a coon
Who let all this riff-raff into the room
There's one smoking a joint and
Another with spots
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot.


RUN LIKE HELL

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 bite rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
When the cockle shell shatters
And the hammers butter
Down the door.
You better run

You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if you
Take your girlfriend
Out tonight,
You better park the car
Well out of sight.
'Cos if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a card board box
You better run.


WAITING FOR THE WORMS

Ooooh, You cannot reach me now
Ooooh no matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by.
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come.
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come.
Waiting to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to put on a blackshirt
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors.
Waiting for the final solution
To strang then the strain
Waiting to follow the worms.
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens
Waiting for the queens and the coons
And the Reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms.
Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again my friend
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again, my friend,
All you need to do is follow the worms.


STOP

Stop.
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform
And leave the show.
And I'm waiting in this cell
Because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time.


THE TRIAL

Good morning worm you 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
Shame on him.
This will not do.
Call the shcoolmaster

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'm crazy
Should I go fishing
They must have taken my marbles away.
Call the defendans wife.
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
But 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 theren 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
The full penalty of law.
The way you made them suffer
You exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate.
But my friend you have revealed your
Deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers
Tear down the wall!

OUTSIDE THE WALL

All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
Some gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand.
And when they're given you their all
Some stagger and fall after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers'
Wall.

WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW?

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more applause
Shall we buy a new guitar
Shall we drive a more powerful car
Shall we work straight through the night
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the east
contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE

It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.
And old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.
It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

SHINE ON YOUR CRAZY DIAMOND
part 1

Remember when you were young
You shone like the Sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond !
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond !
You were caught on the 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 !
Well you wore out you welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter,you piper, you prisoner
And shine !


WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

Welcome, my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been ?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys
And "Scouting for Boys"
You bought a guitar to punish your ma.
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream ?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star
He played mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the Machine




HAVE A SIGAR

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
I 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


WISH YOU WERE HERE

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
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts ?
Hot ashes for trees ?
Hot air for a cool breeze ?
Cold comfort for chains ?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found ?
The same old fears
Wish you were here


SHINE ON YOUR CRAZY DIAMOMD
part 2

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
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion
And shine !

[serbedzija]

SPEAK TO ME

Инструментальная композиция



BREATHE

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
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, Run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.


ON THE RUN

Инструментальная композиция


TIME

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behing 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
And racing around to come up behing you again
The sun is the same in the 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.


BREATHE ( reprise )

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home coldened and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.


THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY

Инструментально-вокальная композиция


MONEY

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
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 footbal 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 hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that
They're giving none away, away, away


US AND THEM

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
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 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

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
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.


ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE

Инструментальная композиция


BRAIN DAMAGE

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark 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.


ECLIPSE

All that you touch all that you see
All that you taste all you feel
All that you love all that you hate
All you distrust all you save
All that you give all that you deal
All that you buy, beg, borrow or steal
All you create all you destroy
All that you do all that you say
All that you eat everyone you meet
All that you slight everyone you fight
All that is now all that is gone
All that's to come and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the Moon.

There is no dark side on the Moon really

[serbedzija]

CLUSTER ONE

Инструментальная композиция



WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need

You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light

What do you want from me


POLES APART

Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you
And did you see it was all going to be so right for me
Why did we tell you then
You were always the golden boy then
And that you'd never lose that light in your eyes

Hey you... did you never 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...

I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes


MAROONED

Инструментальная композиция



A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM

On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks into 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 dear that I could nor do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's 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 hades of grey

I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away.. slipped away


WEARING THE INSIDE OUT

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognise I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word... overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's comming 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
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again



TAKE IT BACK

Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness: the earth was on fire

She could take it back, 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
And 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 and G-d knows I've tired
All of this temptation, if 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 can take it back, she will take it back some day


COMING BACK TO LIFE

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
When I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible passtime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and comming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight... into the shining sun


KEEP TALKING

For millions of years mankind lived just like animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

Ther's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now
I can't seem to speak now
My words won't come out right
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm feeling weak now
But I can't show my weaknesss
I sometimes wonder
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

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
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

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling

I feel like I'm drowning
You know I can't breathe now
We're going nowhere
We're going nowhere


LOST FOR WORDS

I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralysed
I thought that 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 going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door

Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over 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


HIGH HOPES

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the long Road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Runnig 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 stay 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

PIGS ON THE WING (Part One)

If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain,
Occasionally glancing up through the rain,
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.


DOGS

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder and harder as you get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone,
Dragged down by the Stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my own way out of this maze ?

Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner.
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a seat in the stand.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.


PIGS (Three different ones)

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You weel heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying, "keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh,
But you're really a cry.


Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hat pin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh,
But you're really a cry.

Hey you Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet,
And do you feel abused?


You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.


SHEEP

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away,
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen,
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem,
No, this is not 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 BUGGERS' EYES WATER.

Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.



PIGS ON THE WING (Part Two)

You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me,
So I don't feel alone.
Or 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.

ASTRONOMY DOMINE

Lime and limpid green the second scene
The fights between the blue you once knew
Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground

Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon there on the run
Titanian, Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten

Winding signs flap
Flicker flicker flicker flam pow pow
Stairways scare and death rules there
Blindman limpid green the sound
Surrounds the icy waters on the
Lime and limpid green the sound
Surrounds the icy waters underground


CAREFUL WITH THAT AXE, EUGENE

SET THE CONTROLS FOR HEART OF THE SUN

Little by little fhe night turned around
Counting the leaves which tremble in the dawn
Notices leaning on each other and yearning
Under the leaves the swallow is resting

Set the controls for heart of the sun

On to the mountains watching the Watcher
Breaking the darkness, breaking the grapevine
The moment your flaw is run to your shadow
Notice the shadow that reopens the vine

Set the controls for heart of the sun

Witness the man who waves at the wall
Making the snape 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

GRANCHERTER MEADOWS

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
Belide a deathly silence that lay all around

Hear the lark and harken
To the barking of the dog-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
Laughin as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room


SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED TOGETHER IN A CAVE AND GROOVING WITH A PICT

Инструментальная композиция


THE NARROW WAY

Flowing in the path
As it leads towards the darkness in the north
Very strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that home before

If you wonna stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you can find his private room
And you can't delay
Hear the nightbirds calling him
To care and catch the words to say
Close by in the nightmare of your brain

Misty swelling creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the volume as you're on the force
Behind can't conquer all your fears
If you wonna stay a little bit etc.

All your birds aren't really listening
Tell them there is life with every morning
Perhaps today you can when you answer me
It's clear, it's all nights warning
