"Let There Be More Light" (Waters)
Far, far, far, far away, way
People heard him say, say
I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done
Then at last the mighty ship
descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human
race at Mildenhall
[1]
Now, now, now is the time, time,
time
To be, be, be aware
Carter's father saw it there
[2]
And knew the Rhull revealed
to him
[3]
The living soul of Hereward
the Wake
[4]
Oh my, something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly
back
The servicemen were heard to
sigh
For there revealed in glowing
robes was Lucy in the sky
Oh, oh, did you ever
No, no, never ever will they
I'll say
Summoning his cosmic power
And glowing slightly from his
toes
His psychic emanations flowed
"Remember a Day" (Wright)
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play along with time
Evening never comes
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen you shall be if you wish
Look for your king
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's
gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years
away
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember
"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" (Waters)
Little by little the night turns
around
Counting the leaves which tremble
at dawn
Lotus's lean on each other in
yearning
Over the hills a swallow is
resting
Set the controls for the heart
of the sun
Over the mountain watching the
watcher
Breaking the darkness waking
the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge
of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens
the wine
Set the controls for the heart
of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
...
Witness the man who waves at
the wall
Making the shape of his questions
to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in
the evening
Will he remember the lesson
of giving?
Set the controls for the heart
of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
...
"Corporal Clegg" (Waters)
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war
in nineteen forty four
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red and blue
He found it in the zoo
Dear, oh dear, oh are they really
sad for me?
Dear, oh dear, oh will they
really laugh at me?
Missus Clegg, you must be proud
of him
Missus Clegg, another drop of
gin
Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the
rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg recieved his medal
in a dream
From her Majesty, the Queen
His boots were very clean
[5]
Missus Clegg, you must be proud
of him
Missus Clegg, another drop of
gin?
Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg
[...]
All right men -- in you go!

"See Saw" (Wright)
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind
Picking up sister
He makes his way into the see-saw
land
All the way up she smiles
She goes up as he goes down...down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones hoping
for a hit
He doesn't know, so then
She goes up while he goes down...down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
She's selling plastic flowers
on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
She hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man,
and he's down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
"Jugband Blues" (Barrett)
It's awfully considerate of you
to think of me here
And I'm most obliged to you
for making it clear
[7]
That I'm not here
And I never knew the moon could
be so big
And I never knew the moon could
be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw
away my old shoes
And brought me here instead
dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song
I don't care if the sun don't
shine
And I don't care if nothing
is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous
with you
I'll do my loving in the Winter
And the sea isn't green
And I love the Queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?
Notes:
--------
[1] Mildenhall is in West Suffolk,
England.
[2] A reference to John Carter
from Mars, a SciFi series by E.R. Burroughs
(also author
of the Tarzan books).
[3] Haven't been able to find
this one. It sounds vaguely Welsh, but is
more likely
a SciFi reference.
[4] Hereward the Wake was an
11th century folk hero; "The Last of the
English"
to hold out against the Normans. His tale is told in a
famous book
by Charles Kingsley.
[5] This phrase ("boots were
very clean") is sometimes used to indicate
death --
his funeral was the only time a soldier had his boots cleaned.
[6] Times are unofficial.
[7] In the _Shine On_ lyrics
it's "almost obliged." But it sounds like
"most," I've
seen it printed as "most" elsewhere, and we all know the
lyrics given
in_Shine On_ aren't always correct, anyway... ;)
