THE THIN ICE
Mamma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But oooooooh babe
Ooooooooh baby blue-
Ooooooooh 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 you depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out begind you
As you claw the thin ice
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL pt I
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
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
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 pt II
We don't need no eductation
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
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 put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right her under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooooooh babe, ooooooh babe, oooh babe
Of course mom'll help build the wall
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama will always find out where you'vve been
Mama's gonna keep you healthy and clean
Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, oooh babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high
GOODBYE BLUE SKY
Oooooooooooooooooooh
Did you see 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
I've fouled beneath a clear blue sky
Oooooooooooooooooooh
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
Boodbye
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 shone
Take to drink
go to shrinks
Sine up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people aw pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Stone up leisure
But renew 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?
Oooooh I really need a dirty woman
Oooooooooooh 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
Ooooh babe set me free
Oooooooh I need a dirty woman
Oooooooh 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 a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Tight as a funeral drum
Run to the bedroom in the suitcase on the lift
You'll find my favorite axe
Don't took so frightened
This is just a passing phase
First one of my bad days
Would you like to watch TV
Or get between the sheets
Or comtemplate 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 me to call the cops
Do you think it's time I stopped
Why are you running away
DON'T LEAVE ME NOW
Oooooooooooh babe
Don't leave me now
Dont say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you babe
To put throught the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooooooooooooooh 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
Ooooooh babe
Don't leave me now
How can you treat me this way
Running away
I need you babe
Why are you running away
Ooooooooooh babe
EMPTY SPACE
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
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL pt III
I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wal
Don't think I need anything at all
No don't think I'll do 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
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye aoo you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
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 toothbruxh 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 to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
When I try to get through on the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home
I've got the obligatry Hendrix prem
And 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 grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Oooooh 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 waid 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
CONFORTABLY NUMB
Hello
Is ther anybody out 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 wher 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 are saying
When I was just 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 relly am
I have become comfortably numb
Ok
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah
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 gho
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke o the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you are 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
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 ou 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
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
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Oooooooooh Ma Ooooooooh Pa
Does the show have to go on
Ooh Pa, take me home
Ooh Ma, let me to
Do I have to stand up
Wild eyed in the spotlight
What a nightmare, why
Don't I turn and run
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, Oooooh Pa
Where has the feeling gone
Oooooh Ma, Ooooooh 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 itn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as the 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
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 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
You better run like hell
You better make your face up now
Your favorite disguise
With your button down lips and your rollerblind eyes
With your empty smile
And you 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 like hellYou better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you take your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car
Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick the looks
They're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box
You better run
WAITING FOR THE WORMS
Oooooh you cannot reach me now
Oooooh, 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 dorrs
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fore the ovens
Waiting for the queens and the coons
And the Reds and the Jews
Waiting for follow the worms
Would you like to see Britannia
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our colored 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 the cell
Because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time
THE TRIAL
Good morning Worm your honor
The crowd will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you
Was caughtred handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
Shame on him
This will not do
Call in the schoolmaster
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor
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 defendants wife
You little shit, you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no, you had to go your own way
Have you broken any homes up lateley
Just five minutes Worm your honor
Him and me alone
Babe
Come to mother baby, let me hold you in my arms
In bud I never wanted him to get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me
worm your honor let me take him home
Crazy over the rainbow I am crazy
The evidence before the court is incontrovertale
there's no need for the jury to retire
I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty
of law
The way you make them suffer
Your exquisite wife and Mother
Fills me with the 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're given you their all, it's not easy
Banging your heart against some maid buggers
