PINK FLOYD:   The Wall

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

'Lights! Turn on the sound effects! Action! Drop it, drop it on 'em! Drop it on them!'

The Thin Ice

Momma 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 modern 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 snapshot 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.

'You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!'

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could
By pouring their derision
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 dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us 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 your meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!'

Mother

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like this 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?
Mother am I really dying.

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

Mother do you think she's good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?

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

Goodbye Blue Sky

'- Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky'

Oooooo ooo ooo ooooh
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
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky

Oooooo ooo ooo ooooh
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

'The 11:15 from Newcastle is now approaching. The 11:18 arrival...'

Empty Spaces

Backward message:
' - Congratulations, you have just discovered the secret message.
Please send your answer to 'Old Pink'. Care of the funny farm, Chalfont...'
-
spoken by Roger Waters
' - Roger, Caroline's on the phone...'

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

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

Young Lust

I am 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 cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee -
Oooh Babe set me free

Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman.
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

'- Hello...?
-Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from the United States?.
- Oh, he hung up! That's your residence, right?
I wonder why he hung up.
Is there supposed to be someone else
there besides your wife there to answer?
- Hello? This is United States calling, are we reaching...
See, he keeps hanging up and it's a man answering...'

One Of My Turns

'-Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars?
    
Background Movie: -'I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to startle you.'
-This place is bigger than our apartment!
    
Movie: -'Let me know when you're entering a room. -Yes sir.'
-Hm, Can I get a drink of water?
    
Movie: -'I was wondering about...'
- You want some, huh?
    
Movie: -'Yes.'
-Oh wow, look at this tub! Do you wanna take a bath?
    
Movie: -'I'll have to find out from Mrs. Bancroft what time she wants to meet us, for her main...'
-What are watching?
    
Movie: -'If you'll just let me know as soon as you can... Mrs Bancroft. Mrs Bancroft...'
-Hello?
    
Movie: -'I don't understand...'
-Are you feeling okay?...''

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
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 the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
Just one of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V.?
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 like to see me try?
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
How can you treat me this way
Running away
I need you Babe
Why are you running away?
Ooooooh Babe!
