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 want to 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.
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 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 anyway 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 don't 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 another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
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 the wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Oooh is it just a waste of time.
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's will keep baby cozy and warm
Oooh babe
Oooh babe
Oooh babe of course Mama's gonna help build the wall.
Mother do you think she's good enough? For me
Mother do you think she's dangerous? Tell me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooooh 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 until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Oooh babe
Oooh babe
Oooh babe, you'll always be a baby to me.
Mother, did it need to be so high
Goodbye Blue Sky
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Did, did, did, did you see the frightened ones
Did, did, did, did you hear the falling bombs
Did, did, did, 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.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Did, did, did, did you see the frightened ones
Did, 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.
Empty Spaces
Backwards message:
"Congratulations, You have just discovered the secret message.
Please send your answer to 'Old Pink',
Care of the funny farm, Chalfont..."
(...interrupted...)
"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 should 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 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?
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 on 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 anymore
And I can feel
One of all 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
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
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,
need you, need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Ooooh Babe
Don't leave me now
How could you treat me this way?
Running away
Ooooh Babe
Why are you running away?
Ooooh Babe.
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 any thing at all
No, don't think I need anything at all
All in all it was all just the 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, goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye to all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye.
Hey You
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! don't 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 your 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! out there on 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.
Is There Anybody Out There ?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Nobody Home
I got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hands blues
Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
I got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.
I got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe
When I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohill boots
But I got fading roots.
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, own, own
Bring the boys back home.
Comfortably Numb
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
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 aaaaah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, 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
And I have become
Comfortably numb.
The Show Must Go On
Ooooh Ma Ooooh Pa
Must the show go on
Ooooh Pa take me home
Ooooh Ma let me go.
There must be some mistake
I didn't 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 got me some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel
And they've sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans
Really stand.
Are there any queers in the theatre tonight
Get 'em 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 this riffraff 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.
Run Like Hell
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
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run.
You better run all day
And run all night
And 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
'Cos 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.
Waiting For The Worms
Ooooh You cannot reach me now
Ooooh No matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms, worms to come
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms, worms to come.
Waiting, to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to put on a black shirt
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens.
Waiting for the Queens and the Coons
And the Reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms
Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again my friend
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again my friend
All you need to do is follow the worms.
Stop
Stop
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform
And leave the show
And I'm waiting in this cell
Because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time
The Trial
Good morning Worm your honour
The Crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honour
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder
Let me hammer him today
Crazy...toys in the attic I am crazy
They must have taken my marbles away.
Call the defendant's wife
You little shit, you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should've talked to me more often
Than you did, but no you had to
Go your own way
Have you broken any homes up lately?
Just five minutes Worm your honour
Him and me alone.
Babe
Come to Mother baby
Let me hold you in my arms
M'Lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me
Worm your honour let me take him home.
Crazy
Over the rainbow I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in
Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy.
The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for
The jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before of
Someone more deserving
The full penalty of the law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
Since my friend you have revealed your
Deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers
Tear down the wall.
Outside The Wall
All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall
After all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.
