Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)

Post by bunniefuu »

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

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 in 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 precision

Rode on the steel breeze

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

Come on you painter, you piper,

You prisioner, 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

LEARNING TO FLY

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 real

A fatal attraction is 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 find 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

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 mind from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

HIGH HOPES

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 began

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

TAKE IT BACK

Her love rains down on me

easy as the breeze

I listen to her breathing

it sounds like the waves on the sea

I was thinking all about her,

burning with rage and desire

We were spinning into darkness,

and the earth was on fire

She could take it back,

she might take it back some day

So I spy on her, I lied to her,

I make promises I cannot keep

Then I hear her laughter rising,

rising from the deep

And I make her prove her love for me,

I take all that I can take

And I push her to the limit

to see if she will break

She might take it back,

she could take it back some day

Now I had seen the warnings,

screaming from all sides

It's easy to ignore them

God knows I've tried

All of this temptation,

you know it turned my faith to lies

Until I couldn't see the danger

or hear the rising tide

She Can take it back,

she Will take it back some day

She can take it back,

she will take it back some day

She will take it back,

She will take it back some day

COMING BACK TO LIFE

Where were you

when I was b*rned and broken

While the days slipped by

from my window watching

And 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 past-time

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the moment had arrived

For k*lling the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride trough our silence

I knew the waiting had begun

And headed straight... into the shining sun

SORROW

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 and curdled with fright

His knees have trembled and 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

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.

KEEP TALKING

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals

Then something happenend

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 will 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

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 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! Teacher! 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.

ONE OF THESE DAYS

One of these days

I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

SPEAK TO ME

"I've been mad for f*cking years, absolutely years, I've been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands, for ages..."

"I've been mad for f*cking years, absolutely years, I've been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands, for ages..."

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us have...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us have...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

BREATHE

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.

TIME

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 someone 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 k*ll today.

And then one day you find

Ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run,

You missed the starting g*n.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

And 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 naught

or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time has gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say...

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

"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."

MONEY

Money, get away.

Get a good job with more 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.

US AND THEM

Us,

and them

And after all we're only ordinary men.

Me,

and you.


God only knows it's not what

we would choose to do.

Forward he cried from the rear

and the front rank d*ed.

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.

And in the end it's only

round and round... and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words

The poster bearer cried.

Listen son, said the man with the g*n

There's room for you inside.

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 want of the price of a tea and a slice

The old man d*ed.

BRAIN DAMAGE

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.

ECLIPSE

All that you touch

All that you see

All that you taste

And all that you feel.

All that you love

All that you hate

All you distrust.

And all that you save.

All that you give

All that you deal

All that you buy,

beg, borrow or steal.

All you create

And all you destroy

All that you do

All that you say.

All that you eat

And everyone you meet

All that you slight

And 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.

WISH YOU WERE HERE

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell

Blue skies 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 heroes for ghosts

Hot ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change

Did you exchange

A walk on part in the w*r

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

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

And 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

I have become comfortably numb

OK.

Just a little pin prick

There'll be no more

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up

I do belive 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.

RUN LIKE HELL

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 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!
