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!
Astronomy Domine (Barrett)
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, a second
scene
A fight between the blue you
once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon,
Miranda and Titania.
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.
Blinding signs flap,
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam.
Pow, pow.
Stairway scare Dan dare who's
there?
Lime and limpid green, the sounds
around
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green, the sounds
around
The icy waters underground.
What Do You Want From Me (Gilmour,
Wright, Samson)
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 I know something
you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers
would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy
chain for you
I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me
You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream,
even walk on water
Anything you want
You can own everything you see,
Sell your soul for complete
control
Is that really what you need
You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing
to hide
Turn and face the light
What do you want from me
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 -

Mixture set to maximum percent

(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
Keep Talking (Gilmour, Wright,
Samson)
"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
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now Why
won't you talk to me
I can't seem to speak now You
never talk to me
My words won't come out right
What are you thinking
I feel like I'm drowning What
are you feeling
I'm feeling weak now Why won't
you talk to me
But I can't show my weakness
You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder What are
you thinking
Where do we go from here What
are you feeling
"It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure
we keep talking"
Why won't you talk to me I feel
like I'm drowning
You never talk to me You know
I can't breathe now
What are you thinking We're
going nowhere
What are you feeling We're going
nowhere
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here
"It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure
we keep talking"
Coming Back To Life (Gilmour)
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
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
Hey You (Waters)
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
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 you ear against
the wall
Waiting for someone to call
out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to
carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming
home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, standing in 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.
[Click of TV being turned on]
"Well, only got an hour of daylight
left. Better get started"
"Isnt it unsafe to travel at
night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to
stay here. You're father's gunna pick up our trail before long"
"Can Loca ride?"
"Yeah, I can ride... Magaret,
time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything"
"Goodbye Chenga"
"Goodbye miss ..."
"I'll be back"
A Great Day For Freedom (Gilmour,
Samson)
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 cane down
The Ship of Fools had finally
run aground
Promises lit up the night like
paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not
do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn
away
And there's a change that, even
with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert
sands
While nations wash their bloodied
hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades
of gray
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 bitted residue
slipped away . . . slipped away
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
High Hopes (Gilmour, Samson)
Beyond the horizon of the place
we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly
and without boundary
The ringing of the division
bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down
the Causeway
Do they still meet there by
the Cut
There was a ragged band that
followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our
dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures
trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of
bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it
was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking
back again
Dragged by the force of some
inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag
unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights
of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire
and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to
the horizon
Though down this road we've
been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
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!"
One of These Days (Waters, Wright,
Mason, Gilmour)
One of these days, I'm going
to cut you into little pieces
The Dark Side of the Moon
Speak to Me (Mason)
"I've been mad for fucking years,
absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been
working me buns off for bands..."
"I've always been mad, I know
I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain
why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."
(Instrumental)
Breathe (Waters, Gilmour, Wright)
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your
own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears
you'll cry
And all you touch and all you
see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is
done
Don't sit down it's time to
dig another one.
For long you live and high you
fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest
wave
You race towards an early grave.
On The Run (Gilmour, Waters)
[female announcer, announcing flights at airport, including 'Rome']
"Live for today, gone tomorrow,
that's me, HaHaHaaaaaa!"
(Instrumental)
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.
The Great Gig in the Sky (Wright)
"And I am not frightened of
dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be
frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've
gotta go sometime."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."
(Instrumental)
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"
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.
Any Colour You Like (Gilmour,
Mason, Wright)
(Instrumental)
Brain Damage (Waters)
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 forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side
of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make
the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm
sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but
it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder
in your ear
You shout and no one seems to
hear.
And if the band you're in starts
playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side
of the moon.
"I can't think of anything to
say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
Eclipse (Waters)
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 of the
moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."
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.
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"
