Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part
1-9) (Waters, Wright, Gilmour)
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 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 percision,
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 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!
Learning to Fly (Gilmour, Moore,
Ezrin, Carin)
Into the distance, a ribbon
of black
Stretched to the point of no
turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept
field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me
fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible
grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling
skies
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 guide 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.
Mixture - rich
Propellors - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine guages and suction -
check
Mixture set to maximum percent
- recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(grabled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo
ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is
now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your
takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it
easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually,
and it...
Above the planet on a wing and
a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour 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 eyes from the
circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just
an earth-bound misfit, I
Yet Another Movie (Gilmour, Leonard)
One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?
A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that
lied
The sun that burned a fiery
red
The vision of an empty bed
The use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had
enough
The march of fate, the broken
will
Someone is lying very still
He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the
rest
He's not the worst, he's not
the best
And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant
look
A man in black on a snow white
horse,
A pointless life has run its
course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears
still run
As he fades into the setting
sun
[M]:You're going on that plane
to take you where you belong.
[W]:But no, I have...
[M]:You have got to listen to
me. Do you have any idea what
you have to look forward to
if you stay here? Nine chances
out of 10 we both end up in
a concentration camp and that....
[W]:You're only saying these
things to make me go.
[M]:I'm saying it 'cause it's
true. Inside us, we both know we
belong in different......
....maybe not today, maybe not
tomorrow, but soon, and for the
rest of your life.
[W]:But what about us?
But what about us?
But what about us?
Round and Around (Gilmour)
(Instrumental).
Sorrow (Gilmour)
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 & curdled
with fright
His knees have trembled &
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 rolls
It's not enough it's not enough
His hand has faltered
.... .... ......
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 that words,
Of promises broken
The Dogs of War (Gilmour, Moore)
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
On The Turning Away (Gilmour,
Moore)
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 it's 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
And 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?
One of These Days (Waters, Wright,
Mason, Gilmour)
One of these days, I'm going
to cut you into little pieces
Time (Mason, Waters, Wright,
Gilmour)
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 soemone 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.
So 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 nought
or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation
is the English way
The time is gone, the song is
over,
Thought I'd something more to
say.
Breath Reprise
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.
Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour)
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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 heros 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 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.
Money (Waters)
Money, get away.
Get a good job with good 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 all right 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 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 raise it's
no surprise that they're
giving none away.
"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right.
That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really
drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he
couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely,
after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why
he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but
we sorted the matter out"
Another Brick in the Wall Part
2 (Waters)
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids
alone!
All in all it's just another
brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another
brick in the wall.
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids
alone!
All in all it's just another
brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another
brick in the wall.
"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat,
you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't
eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds,
stand still laddy!"
Comfortably Numb (Gilmour, Waters)
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
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.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's woring, 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.
Run Like Hell (Gilmour, Waters)
"Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd"
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
When the conchshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down the door.
You'd better run.
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Run, Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Run, Run.
You better sleep all day
And run all night.
Keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.
And if you're taking your girlfriend
Out tonight
You'd 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.
"Hey, open up! HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaa!
[sound of car skidding, followed
by loud scream]
"Hammer, Hammer"
Us and Them (Waters, Wright)
Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary
men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's noz 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.
But in the end it's only 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.
"I mean, they're not gunna kill
ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won't do
it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given
him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of
opinion, but really...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 the want of the price of
tea and a slice
The old man died.
