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 the disguise



Mamma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you baby
And the sky may look blue
But oooh babe, oooh baby blue, oooh 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 the crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your death and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice



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 all just bricks in the wall

    "You! You! Yes, you! Stand still laddie!"

    3. 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 "What have we here laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No - poems, no less - poems, everybody! The laddie recons himself a poet! 'Money gets back I'm all right Jack Keep your hands off my stack New car, Caviar, Four star daydream twinkle by me A football team' Absolute rubbish, laddie! (smack!) Get on with your work! Repeat after me: An acre is the area of a rectangle whois legs .... But in the town it was well known When they go home at night, their fat and Psychopatic wives would thrash them With in 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! Teachers! 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. "Wrong, Do it again!" "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding." "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" "You! Yes, you laddie!" "...poems, everybody! The laddie recons himself a poet!" "You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

    5. Goodbye Blue Sky

Ooooooooooh 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 Unfold beneath a clear blue sky Ooooooooooh 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

    6. Empty Space

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

    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 & roll refugee Ooooh Baby 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

    7. 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 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 favourite axe Don't look so frightened This is just a passing phase Just one of my bad days Would you like to watch TV? 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 to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped..? Why are you running away?

    8. 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 Baby!

    9. Another Brick in the Wall

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 Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye all you people There's nothing you can say To make me change my mind Goodbye!

    * SIDE 3 *

    1. Hey You

Hey you! Out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me Hey you! Standing in the isles 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 yoy! With your ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call on 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 your 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!

    2. Is There Anybody Out There

Is there anybody out there?

    3. Nobody home

I've got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag with my toothbrush and my 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 hand blues Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight I've got amazing powers of observation And that's 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 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 romains 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 fanding roots

    4. 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.

    ring 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

    5. Comfortably Numb

Hello Is there anybody in there? Just not 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 say When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like too 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 aaaaaach! 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 say 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 fingers on it now The child is grown The dream is gone And I have become comfortably numb.

    * SIDE 4 *

    6. The Show Must Go On

Oooh Ma Ooooh Pa Must the show go on Oooh Pa take me home Oooh Ma let me go Do I have to stand up Wildeyed 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 Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Where has the feeling gone? Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Will I remember the songs? The show must go on.

    7. 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 theater 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 And 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

    8. Run Like Hell

Run run run run Run run run run Run run run run Run run run run You better make your face up in your favourite disguise With your buttondown lips and your roller blind eyes With your empty smile and your hungry heart Feel the file rising from your guilty past With your nerves in tatters when the cockle-shell shatters And the hammers batter down your door You better run Run run run run Run run run run Run run run run Run run run run You 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 your 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

    9. 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 up the deadwood Waiting to clean up the city Waiting to follow the worms Waiting to put on a blackshirt 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 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 in this cell Because I have to know Have I been guilty all this time

    10. 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 Shame on him This will not do Call the schoolmaster I always said he'd come to no good In the end you 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 master Let me hammer him today Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy Shall we go ....... (?) They must have taken my marbles away Crazy toys in the attic he is crazy Call me the defendant's wife You - little shit you're in it now I hope they throw away the key You should have talked to me more often That 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'lord? 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 Incontrovertable 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 law The way you made 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 artists Make their stand And when they've given you their all Some staggers and falls after all it's not easy Banging your heart against some mad buggers Wall
