Atom Heart
Mother
"Here is a loud announcement" "Silence in the studio!" (Instrumental)
If If I were a swan I'd be gone If I were a train I'd be late And if I were a good man I'd talk with you more often than I do If I were to sleep I could dream If I were afraid I could hide If I go insane Please don't put your wires in my brain If I were the moon I'd be cool If I were a rule I would bend If I were a good man I'd understand the spaces between friends If I were alone I would cry And if I were with you I'd be home and dry And if I go insane Will you still let me join in with the game? If I were a swan I'd be gone If I were a train I'd be late again If I were a good man I'd talk with you more often than I do
Summer '68 Would you like to say something before you leave? Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel We said goodbye before we said hello I hardly even like you I shouldn't care at all We met just six hours ago The music was too loud From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year And I would like to know How do you feel? How do you feel? Not a single word we said Delights still without fears Occasinally you showed a smile But what was the need I felt the cold far too soon The wind of '95 My friends are lying in the sun I wish that I was there Tomorrow brings another town Another girl like you Have you time before you leave to greet another man? Just you let me know How do you feel? How do you feel? Goodbye to you Charlotte Kringles too I've had enough for one day
Fat old sun When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evenin' birds are calling Summer's thunder time of year The sound of music in my ears Distant bells New mown grass smells so sweet By the river holding hands Roll me up and lay me down And if you see Don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange Sing to me Sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evenin' birds are calling Children's laughter in my ears The last sunlight disappears And if you see Don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange Sing to me Sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is...(fades out)
Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast (Instrumental) |
Album: MEDDEL
One of these days One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces
A pillow of winds The cloud of eiderdown draws around me softening the sound sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side and she's breathing low, and the candle dies When night comes down you lock the door the book falls to the floor as darkness falls and waves roll by the seasons changed, the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan behold the dream, the dream is gone green fields, a cold rain is falling in a golden dawn and deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds and I go down sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side and she's breathing low and I rise like a bird in the haze when the first rays touch the sky and the night winds die
Fearless You say the hill's to steep to climb, climbing you say you'ld like to see me try, climbing you pick the place and I'll choose the time and I'll climb the hill in my own way just wait a while for the right day and as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds of the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning and who's the fool who wears the crown go down in your own way and every day is the right day and as you rise above the fear-lines in his crown you look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the growd You never walk alone, you never walk alone walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you never walk alone, you never walk alone
San Tropez As I reach for a peach, slide a line down behind, a sofa in San Tropez breaking a stick with a brick on the sand riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness scratched by the sand that fell from my love keeping my dreams and I still hear her calling if you're alone, I'll come home Backward and homebound, a pigeon, a dove gone with the wind, the rain on a airplane owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon sooner than wiat for a break in the weather I'll gather my far-glung thoughts together speeding away on the wind to a new day if you're alone, I'll come home And I pause for a while by a country style and listen to the things they say digging the gold in a hole in my hand hoping the good, take a look at the way things end and you're leading me down to a place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me making a date for Rita Pavone
Seamus I was in the kitchen Seamus, that's the dog, was outside well I was in the kitchen Seamus, my own hound, was outside well you know the sun was sinking slowly and my own hound-dog sat right down and cried
Echoes Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no-one showed us to the land And no-one knows the where or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes And no-one speaks and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky |
Album: THE WALL PART I & II
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
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 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 snap shot 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 all 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 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 Psycopathic 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 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 (chorus at end by pupils from the Fourth Form Music Class Islington Green School, London) We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers 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 the song Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls Ooooh aah, 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 Ooooh aah, is it it just a waste of time * Hush now 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 will keep baby cosy and warm Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall Mother do think she's good enough for me Mother do think she's dangerous to me Mother will she tear your little boy apart Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mama's gonna check out all your girl friends 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 Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe You'll always be a baby to me Mother, did it need to be so high. * (in the movie "Mother am I really dying").
Goodbye blue sky Oooooooo 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 Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh 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 Goodbye Goodbye
Empty spaces 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
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 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. Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
One of my turns 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 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 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 Don't leave me now How can 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 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 just bricks in the wall
Goodbye cruel world Goodbye cruel world I'm leaving you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye 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 a 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 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?
Nobody home I've got a little black book with my poems in I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hand blues. Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from I've 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've got the obligatory Hendrix perm And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite 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 I've got a strong urge to fly But I've got nowhere to fly to Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home I've got a pair of Gohills boots And I've 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 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 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 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 pin prick There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! 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.
The show must go on Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Must the show go on Oooh Pa take me home Oooh 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 Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Where has the feeling gone? Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Will I remember the songs? Oooooh aah th 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 stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate band And we're going to find out where you fans Really stand Are there any queers in the theatre tonight Get 'em up against the wall That one looks Jewish And that one's a coon Who let all this riff raff 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, run (repeat line four times) 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 cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter Down the door You better run Run, run, run, run (repeat line four times) You better run all day And run all night And keep your dirty feelings Deep inside. And if your Takin' your girlfriend Out tonight You 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 to come In perfect isolation here behind my wall Waiting for the 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 v And fire the ovens Waiting for the queers 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 here in this cell Because I have to know Have I been guilty all this time
The trial Good morning Worm your honour The crowd 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 Truly gone fishing Crazy toys in the attic he is crazy They must have taken my marbles away You little shit, you're in it now I hope they throw away the key You should 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" Baaaaaabe Come to mother baby let me hold you in my arms M'red 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 Incontravertible, there's no need for The jury to retire In all my years of judging I have never heard before of Some one more deserving The full penalty of law The way you made them suffer Your exquisite wife and mother Fills me with an urge to defecate But 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 Some gathering together in bands The bleeding hearts and the 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 buggers Wall |
Album: ANIMALS
Pigs on the wing (part 1) If you didn't care what happened to me, and I didn't care for you, we would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain, occasionally which of the buggers to blame and watching for pigs on the wing.
Dogs You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, you gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, you gotta strike when the moment is right, without thinking. And after a while you can work on points for style, like the club tie and the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when thy turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder. You know it's going to get harder, and harder and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the sand, just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer. And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown as you go down, alone, dragged down by the stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my own way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending that everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend. And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner. And everything's done under the sun, and you believe a heart, everyone's a killer. Who was born in a house full of pain, who was trained not to spit in the fan, who was told what to do by the man, who was broken by trained personnel, Who was fotted with collar and chain, who was given a seat in the stand, who was breaking away from the pack, who was only a stranger at home, who was ground down in the end, who was found dead on the phone, who was dragged down by the stone.
Pigs (3 different ones ) Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, you're nearly a good laugh, almost a joker, with your head down in the pig bin, saying, " Keep on digging", pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find, when you're down in the pig mine? You're nearly a laugh, you're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry. Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are. You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are. You radiate cold shafts of broken glass. You're nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin. You like the feel of steel, you're hot stuff with a hat pin, and good fun with a hand gun. You're nearly a laugh, you're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry. Hey you, Whitehouse, ha ha charade you are. You house proud town mouse, ha ha charade you are. You're trying to keep our feelings off the street, you're nearly a real treat, all tight lips and cold feet, and do you feel abused? You gotta stem the evil tide, and keep it all on the inside. Mary, you're nearly a treat, Mary, you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry.
Sheep Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away, only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air You better watch out, there may be dogs about. I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen things are not what they seem. What do you get for pretending the dangers not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel. What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem. No, this is no bad dream. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want He makes me down to lie. Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets. For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, trough quiet reflection and great dedication, master the art of karate, lo, we shall rise up, and then we'll make the buggers eyes water. Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a sream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream. Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home and do as you're told, get out of the road if you want to grow old.
Pigs on the wing (part 2) You know that I care what happens to you, and I know that you care for me, so I don't feel alone, or the weight of the stone, now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone. And any fool knows a dog needs a home, a shelter from pigs on the wing. |

Astronomy domine Lime and limpid green the second scene Little by little the night turns around Grantchester meadows Icy wind of night be gone, this is not your domain Flowing in the path |
Saucerful of Secrets
Let there be more light Far far far away way Remember a day before today Little by little the night turns around Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg See saw Fairy girls were very much in love It's awfully considerate of you to think of me there |

Cluster One (No lyrics)
What do you want from me As you look around this room tonight What do you want from me You can have anything you want Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you (No Lyrics)
A great day for freedom On the day the wall came down From morning to night I stayed out of sight He love rains down on me easy as the breeze Coming back to life Where were you when I was burned and broken Keep Talking For millions of years mankind lived just like animals I was spending my time in the doldrums High Hopes beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young |

THE FINAL CUT
The post war dream Tell me true tell me why was Jesus crucified They flutter behind you your possible pasts One of the few When you're one of the few to land on your feet Jesus, Jesus what's it all about Floating down through the clouds Paranoid eyes Button your lip don't let the shield slip Brezhnev took afghanistan The fletcher memorial home Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere Southampton dock They disembarked in 45 The final cut Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes Fuck all that we've got to get on with these In my rear view mirror the sun is going down |
