Pink Floyd / 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 wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
"The Thin Ice"
Mama loves her baby
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooh ooh ooh ooh babe
Ooh ooh ooh baby blue
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 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"
Dad's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Dad whatya 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.
"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
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in 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
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave the kids alone!
All in all it's just a 'nother brick in the wall.
All in all you're just a 'nother brick in the wall. (2x)
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave the kids alone!
All in all you're just a 'nother brick in the wall.
All in all you're just a 'nother brick in the wall. (2x)
"Goodbye, Blue Sky"
"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"
Did did did you see the frightened ones?
Did did did you hear the falling bombs?
Did did did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?
Did did did you see the frightened ones?
Did did did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
"Young Lust"
I am just a new born,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, babe set me free.
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
"One of My Turns"
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
And 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 home.
I feel
Cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a torniquet,
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,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate this silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
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?
"Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3"
I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No don't think I'll 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
"Goodbye cruel world"
Goodbye cruel world,
I'm leaving you today.
Goodbye (3x)
Goodbye, all you people,
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind.
Goodbye.
"Vera"
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?
"Bring the boys back home"
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home
"The show must go on"
Ooooh, Ma, Oooh Pa
Must the show go on?
Ooooh, Pa. Take me home
Ooooh, Ma. Let me go
There must be some mistake
I didnt mean to let them take away my soul
Am I too old, is it too late?
Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,
Where has the feeling gone?
Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,
Will I remember the songs?
The show must go on
"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.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well, he's staying back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all these riff-raffs into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!
"Stop"
Stop!
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform and leave the show
But I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time?
