Little by little the kurds turn around
Counting the kids which have 30 siblings
Molotovs leaning on each other and burning
İnside the konak ağa is resting
Wey wey wey wey wey
Set the apo free biji kurdistan
Over the mountain watching the soldier
Breaking the country waking the terror
One inch of kaş is one inch of martı
Love is the nevroz which will be piroz
Wey wey wey wey wey
Set the apo free biji kurdistan
Witness the Apo who raves at Imralı
Making the shape of barış süreci
Halaybaşı will fall in the evening
Will he pay for kaçak elektirik
Wey wey wey wey wey
Set the apo free biji kurdistan |
We certainly are underspoken and understanding
But theres a lot of things unsaid as well
We shout and argue and fight, and work it on out |
Hey, girl
Lets get together
Just you and your work, your time
Hey, girl
Youre right slits em and
Bash in your brain you who were
Only the lonely when they rip out brains in bed
How bout its said?
Hey girl, as Ive always said
I preferred your lips red, not...
Hey girl, look in the mirror can you see what you are... |
...teenagers are sometimes so freaked out they cant sit up straight in class...
...motor manufacturers in these states report life expectancies for engines is doubled...
...maxi coats are both a curse and a blessing for New York dry cleaners who charge you fourteen shillings to tie the new styles and nearly double...
...theyre taking our nags, Ace. Yeah, theyre making damn good targets of themselves. Let them have it...
...win a Florida holiday and a color TV...
...Id like to say to him just once...
...please use two hands... |
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on , now
I hear youre feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now Ive got that feeling once again
I cant explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
Okay
Just a little pin prick Ding
Therell be no more Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working, good
Thatll keep you going through the show
Come on, its time to go
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb |
Well meet again
Well meet again
Dont know where
Dont know when
But I know well meet again some sunny day |
We dont need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all its just another brick in the wall
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
We dont need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teacher, leave us kids alone
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
Wrong! Do it again. Wrong! Do it again
If you dont eat yer meat, you cant have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you dont eat yer meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddy! |
In a while Ill find the time to make the sunshine mine
In a smile I saw a single eagle in the sky
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by
On a hill there lived a man with many shining things
Shiny pool, a shiny car and shiny diamond rings
Wining, dining, shining king
And the eagle flies in clear blue skies
Breathing in the clear blue air
Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
And fifty more come rolling off
The Ford production line
Then a man appearing like a mirage on the sand
In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
Screaming, dealing, movie man
Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
Climbing, high into the sky
By the ornamental lake, a diamond lies
Upon the finger of the king
On high the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
And wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun |
There was a boy whose name was Jim
His friends, they were very good to him
They gave him tea, and cakes, and jam
And slices of delicious ham
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
The chief defect of Henry King
Was chewing little bits of string
At last he swallowed some which tied
Itself in ugly knots inside
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did
In finding she was left alone
Went tiptoe to the telephone, 999
And summoned the immediate aid
Of Londons Noble Fire Brigade
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
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah |
Wasting my time
Resting my mind
And I’ll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin’ from nine to five
And if you don’t mind
I’ll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light and the love in her eyes
And if you don’t mind
I’ll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of her eyes |
Raving and drooling, I fell on his neck with a scream
He had a whole lot of terminal shock in his eye
Thats what you get for pretending the rest are not real
Babbling and snapping at far away flies
He will zig zag his way back through memories of boredom and pain
How does it feel to be empty and angry and spaced
Split up the middle between the illusion of safety in numbers
And the fist in your face |
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 |
The path you tread is narrow
And the drop is shear 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 |
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
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road weve 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
For ever and ever |
Jesus Christ, I might as well be dead
I cant see how dangerous
It must feel to me
Training human cogs for the machine
Without some shell-shocked lunatic like me
Bombarding their still soft shells
With sticks and stones
That were lying around
In the pile of unspeakable feelings Id found
When I turned back the stone
Turned over the stone
Of my own disappointment back home |
One, two, three, four
Here comes Santa in his sleigh
Those silver bells they sound so gay
His shiny sleigh is heaped with toys
To give to all good girls and boys
With dolls and gollywogs and clockwork trains
Trams, tin soldiers and little model planes
Going to fill your stocking so long as youve been good
And Im sure that you have because you know you should
Middle eight!
Have I got to sing that?
Yes!
No you dont sing, you just say it
Okay
All right?
Right
One, two, three . . .
Cheerful face is wreathed in smiles
Can see him coming for miles and miles
As he passes by hell catch your ear
With Merry Christmas, guys, and a happy New Year!
Man!
Shout that as a cheery Christmas greeting, Alan
Yeah, shout that one out, right?
Turkey and sausages and Christmas pud
Have another helping John!
Oh, I dont think I could
Christmas parcels under the tree
None for you and six for me! |
Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here
Shine On You Crazy Diamond I-IV
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! |
Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you Babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Baby blue
Ooooh Babe
If you should go skating, boy
On the thin ice of modern life
Pay attention at school ator all the rules
Take a job and the wife
But dont be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
Sinking out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Ooh, baby, please help me |
I dont need no drugs to calm me down, down, down
And I dont need your hands to hold me down, down, down
I dont need your tongue to cut me down, down, down
I dont think that I need you at all
I dont think that I need you at all
All in all, its just another brick in the wall
All in all, youre just another brick in the wall |

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and youre okay
Money, its a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think Ill buy me a football team
Money, get back
Im all right Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, its a hit
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit
Im in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, its a crime
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away
Away, away, away, away, away, away, away
Yeah, I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
Yeah, I was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!
Why does anyone do anything?
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I dont know; I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him it was in, he could get it in number two. He was asking why it wasnt coming up on freight eleven. After, I was yelling and screaming and telling him why it wasnt coming up on freight eleven. It came to a heavy blow, which sorted the matter out. |
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells |
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and youre okay
Money, its a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think Ill buy me a football team
Money, get back
Im alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, its a hit
Dont give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Im in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, its a crime
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
Its no surprise that theyre giving none away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

“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
Belied the 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
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 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
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 covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room
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
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea |
Speech has allowed the communication of ideas
Enabling human beings to work together, to build the impossible
Mankinds greatest achievements have come about by talking
Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future
With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking |
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 in the East
Contract diseases
Bury treasure
Store up lights on
Drop bombs in the East
Contract diseases
Bury treasure
Store up lights on
Drop bombs in the East
Contract diseases
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall |
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?
Should I sing until I can’t sing anymore?
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
Ill do my best to please
What do you want from me?
Do you think that I know something you don’t know?
If I don’t promise you the answers would you go?
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? |
He made his way to the border
In the shadow, under the trees
Down by a stream, in a hollow
Turn your head, feel the breeze
And the Red Queen was waiting for the news
For the White King to move
And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover secret tight
They let him in by a backway
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly and started to read
Run to the treasury and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
He says the White King thinks the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded her
And this is what she told the gathered round
Go to the store by the dungeon
Take all the red paint, take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbor, well be alright
There will be no game today, she cried across the board
Every day will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
And smiled at the cat, who smiled back |
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Dont give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, Im coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what youre told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall |
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
Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds
The icy waters underground |
Heavy hung the canopy of blue
Shade my eyes and I can see you
White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore
She lay in the shadow of the wave
Hazy were the visions of her playing
Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her cry ev’ry time
Green is the colour of her kind
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned |
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
You better make your face up in your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockle shell shatters
And the hammers batter down the door
You better run
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
Run. Run. Run. Run
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if youre taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
Theyre gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run good |
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught 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
Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter
You piper, you prisoner, and shine! |

— and disciplinary remains mercifully
Yes and um, I’m with you Derek, this star nonsense
Yes, yes
Now which is it?
I am sure of it
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 change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Were 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 |
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
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 weakness
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
I feel like I’m drowning
You know I can’t breathe now
We’re going nowhere
We’re going nowhere |
Us and them
And after all were only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows its not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end its only round and round
Havent you heard its a battle of words?
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
Theres room for you inside
I mean, theyre not gonna kill ya
So if you give em a quick short, sharp, shock, they wont do it again
Dig it? I mean he get off lightly
Cause I wouldve given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, I mean good manners dont cost nothing do they, eh?
Down and out
It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about
With, without
And wholl deny its what the fightings all about?
Out of the way, its a busy day
Ive got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died |
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world filled with magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The division bells ringing had begun
Down 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
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes will stray to the horizon
Though down this road weve been a hundred times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
The light was brighter
The grass was greener
For ever and ever |
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I dont mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
Theres no reason for it, youve gotta go sometime
I never said I was frightened of dying |
Down, down. Down, down. The star is screaming
Beneath the lies. Lie, lie. Tschay, tschay, tschay
Careful, careful, careful with that axe, Eugene
The stars are screaming loud
Tsch

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk ?
How shall I fill the final places ?
How should I complete the wall ? |
Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Earls Court. My name is Gary Yudman and we are going to have a great show this evening. The band is backstage and will be ready to go in just a few minutes. Before the show begins, the house management would just like to request a few things
First, please no fireworks. Also, please no flash cameras. And any unauthorized audio or video equipment that is being used may be confiscated, so, please, save yourself a lot of hassle
Well, I think the band is about ready to go now |
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
Don’t accepting that what’s happening
Its 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? |
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 paperboy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
Ill 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 rearrange me til Im sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
Theres someone in my head but its not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon
I cant think of anything to say except
Hahahahahahaha!
I think its marvellous!
Hahaha.. |
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 neighbors 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 |
Daddys flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot in the family album
Daddy what dya leave behind for me?
Daddy what dya leave behind for me?
All in all its just another brick in the wall
All in all its just another brick in the wall |
Im not ready!
This is not a drill. This is it
I need time to think
No. You came in like a bird through a window and out. Its done
But I have to find the words
Hold a thought like holding a breath till you cant hold it anymore. Then hold it more, till you think youre going to die. And let it go... A thought wave. Soundwaves of pure thought
Im getting voices...
Thought waves. You can do that! Take a breath, hold it...
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world... she walked into mine
You go girl
So woe to you
Oh woe to you and me
And woe to all of us
But we can save the Earth from turning to dust and bones Dust and bones; from fire and flood
Look heres the thing
Heres what Im saying
The Earth is the common
You cant save it for yourself but you can save it for others
And the others will save it for you
The other is us and we are the other
We are of a kind
We are natural born to kindness
Which means to act as to our kind as kin to kin
As kindred which is to act kindly
What is the good?
Its nothing but a contest of kindness
To be unkind is against nature and it makes us feel bad
To be selfish is against nature because it is against our kindness
We are as natural born to unselfishness as a mother to her baby
Her milk is the milk of human kin and kindness
But when we live for trickery and gain we turn against nature
And nature will turn against us
We will be lords of dust
And bones |
Breathe, breathe in the air
Dont be afraid to care
Leave but dont leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles youll give and tears youll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Dont sit down, its time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave |
Ohhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh
We dont need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey!
Teacher, leave them kids alone!
All in all its just another brick in the wall
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
We dont need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey!
Teacher, leave them kids alone!
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
All in all youre just another brick in the wall |
Us and them
And after all were only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows its not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end its only round and round
Havent you heard its a battle of words?
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
Theres room for you inside
I mean, theyre not gonna kill ya
So if you give em a quick short, sharp, shock, they wont do it again
Dig it? I mean he get off lightly
Cause I wouldve given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, I mean good manners dont cost nothing do they, eh?
Down and out
It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about
With, without
And wholl deny its what the fightings all about?
Out of the way, its a busy day
Ive got things on my mind
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died |
Long live the child and the man
Long live the mother and the land
The hills behind us and the sea
Reach out to welcome you and me
Valley deep and mountain tall
Lie upon the ground before us all
Strange are the colours of the turf
Heralding the rebirth of the earth
Gather all your energy and try
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile |
We dont need no education

All in all its just another brick in the wall
All in all youre just another brick in the wall
We dont need no education

Wrong! Do it again!
If you dont eat your meat, you cant have any pudding!
How can you have any pudding if you dont eat your meat?
You! Yes! You behind the bike sheds! Stand still laddie! |
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 reel
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
Unladen, 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 sky
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
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 |
I dont need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Dont think I need anything at all
No, dont think Ill need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall |
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, youre gonna go far
Youre gonna fly high, youre never gonna die
Youre gonna make it if you try, theyre gonna love you
Well, Ive always had a deep respect an I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which ones Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train
Were just knocked out, we heard about the sell-out
You gotta get an album out, you owe it to the people
Were so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
Its a hell of a 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 |
All this love, is all I am
A ball is all I am
Im so new compared to you
And I am very small
Warm glow, moon gloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
I will see the sunshine show
All around I hear strange sounds
Come drifting round my ears
Dark the light and long the night
I feel my dawn is near
Warm glow, moon gloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
I will see the sunshine show |
What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where she used to walk
How shall we fill the final places
How shall we complete the wall? |
Remember when you were young
You shone like the Sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now theres a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the Moon
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on , you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers
And Ill be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And well bask in the shadow of yesterdays triumph
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! |

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow, or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all thats to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
(There is no dark side in the moon really
Matter of fact its all dark) |
Lady divine, I hear on the grapevine
Gabriel came to the stable last night
Lady divine, I hear on the grapevine
Gabriel came to the stable last night |
Ooooooooooooooooooh
Did did did did you see the frightened ones
Did did did did you hear the falling bombs
Did did did did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Ooooooooooooooooooh
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye |
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste

Ive been mad for fucking years
Absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks
Been working me buns off for bands
Ive always been mad, I know Ive been mad
Like the most of us have
Very hard to explain why youre mad
Even if youre not mad |
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
You better make your face up in your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down the door
You better run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if youre taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
Theyre gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box
You better run
Hey, open up! HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaa!
Hammer, Hammer... |
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells |
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to, go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Ive got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isnt well, hes at home in his bed
And they sent us along with a surrogate band
Were gonna find out where you fans really stand |
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 |
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 reel
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
Unladen, 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
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

Daddys flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy what you leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was just another brick in the wall |
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 |
Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
Shes on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do cause Im feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
See you
Thought you might like to know
Im the lorry driver man
Shes on the run
Down by the river side
Feeding ducks in the afternoon tide
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges |
Day after day love turns gray
Like the skin on a dying man
And night after night we pretend its all right
But I have grown older, and
You have grown colder, and
Nothing is very much fun any more
And I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum
Run to the bedroom
In the suitcase on the left
Youll find my favourite axe
Dont look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
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 call the cops?
Do you think its time I stopped?
Why are you running away? |
